I share how I think about frameworks, alignment, positioning, outlining, page count, forewords, and monetization so that my book is not just finished, but actually useful for building my authority and business.In this episode, The Top 5 Questions I Get Asked About Writing a Signature Book, I cover:→ What a signature book is and what makes it different from a journal, devotional, or general book→ Why my signature book should be based on my expertise and framework→ How I think about finishing a book in 90 days or less than 6 months→ Why clarity, audience, and structure matter more than writing longer→ How many pages a book should have and why page count should not drive content→ Whether I need someone to write the foreword for my book→ How I think about author alignment between my book topic and my services→ How I position my book to lead to speaking, coaching, consulting, and other offers→ The questions people do not ask but should, including outline structure, back cover copy, and vetting editorsWhether I’m building a speaking platform, strengthening my authority, or creating a profitable ecosystem around my expertise, this episode helps me think more strategically about the kind of book I write.
