The Real Reasons Why Writing a Book Is a Game Changer [S5 E1]
Hosts: Karen Williams and Sheryl Andrews
Welcome to a brand new series of the Business Book Bites podcast! In this episode, Karen Williams and Sheryl Andrews kick off Series 5 with an inspiring conversation that shifts the lens from the nuts and bolts of writing, publishing, and marketing a book to something even more powerful – the impact a business book can make.
Drawing from her own journey as an author, Karen shares how her upcoming book encapsulates why a book should be more than just a collection of words. It should be life-changing for its author, readers, and business.
Joined by fellow author and friend Sheryl Andrews, the two dive deep into the hidden transformations that come with writing a book: from finding courage and clarity, to stepping into your authority, to setting new boundaries and discovering unexpected opportunities.
Whether you’re curious about how the writing process can shape your personal growth, or you want practical insight into what happens after publication, this conversation is packed with stories from Karen’s 10 (yes, 10!) books and reflections on the “invisible stuff” that happens along the way.
If you’re thinking about writing a book – or wondering what’s possible when you do – this episode is the perfect motivator.
** Upcoming Events **
If you’d like to find out more about how we can support you with your book, come along to one of our free monthly online networking events, the Coffee and Connect Café, held on the first Tuesday of each month.
You’ll get learning, ideas, and the chance to connect with other authors. We also run an annual writing retreat and our next event in Spain is from 25 April to 2 May 2026. Join us for a week in the sun writing your book!
The Impact Goes Deeper Than You Think: Writing a book doesn’t just build your credibility or bring in more clients. It shifts your own self-perception, boosts courage, and often leads to unexpected growth – both personally and professionally.
Stepping Into New Identity is Powerful (and Scary!): Embracing your status as an “author” can feel bold and daunting, but the process of writing helps clarify your voice, refine your expertise, and set stronger boundaries. Sometimes the biggest leap is simply saying, “I am a writer.”
Opportunities Emerge When You Start Sharing: Just telling people about your book-in-progress changes how others see you – and opens doors you never saw coming. Networking, speaking opportunities, collaborations… much of this starts before the book even launches!
