💡 Clarifying the Focus of My Mini-Book The first step to crafting my mini-book was to identify the core problem my clients face. To help you do this I came up with the acronym SPARE—rest assured this has nothing to do with Prince Harry 😂 ❇️ Situation - Firstly you need to to think about the situation your clients are in related to what you help them with: Example: The people I help, quiet introverted coaches who have a desire to help others, have thoughts, ideas and opinions that could transform lives but they feel uncomfortable sharing them. ❇️ Problem - Next we identify what is are the core problems they are facing in that situation. Example: They feel uncomfortable because they fear judgement, rejection, and conflict. They don’t want to rock the boat or upset others, or sometimes feel the complete opposite; that no one will even care so what’s the point. ❇️ Actions - Then we look at what actions they are taking because of this problem. Example: It causes them to second-guess themselves, and more often than not stay silent and avoid sharing their valuable thoughts, ideas and opinions with the world. ❇️ Result - Now we go deeper and look at the result of their actions. Example: This means they aren’t being their true selves, they are not connecting with those they want to help and ultimately are not making the impact they desire to make. Which has a knock on effect, where they don’t have enough clients and are not able to show the results they can create. ❇️ Emotions - And finally we get more understanding about the emotions they are feeling because of this result: Example: This can cause them to feel like they aren’t good enough, they aren’t cut out for it. Feel unworthy, undervalued, useless. Everything you can learn from this process helps you to come up with the 10-minute solutions to begin to solve it, as well as inspire the content of the mini-book. Give it a try! What surprising insights did you come up with?

Last year I was working with Dave Henderson (https://myebook.online), electronic publisher of deserved high repute. He gave me the basic tools for e-publishing and taught me the basics of how to use them, all on a shoestring budget because that was all I had. I couldn't afford his packages, so he made a plan just for me. That's the kind of person he is. I didn't have a picture in my mind of how to use those tools to turn my e-books on Amazon into something that actually generated sales and so an income. That's the goal I set myself for this year, but I still wasn't any clearer on how to get there. Enter another plea to Dave. This year he is branching out into business coaching. He invited me to try a few sessions with him, and the best description of the experience is that I was (and still am) blown away. I was expecting drilling on how to develop mission and vision statements, business plans, budgets and promotion. What I got instead was an invitation to look deeper into myself, into why I write, where my passion lies in terms of what I want to achieve with my writing, and how I would put that across to someone else who could help make my passion take life. I'm still working on the answers to those questions. The mission, vision and business plan route might have been easier. But Dave taught me that that is not actually what I want. I feel the passion in myself, yet putting it into succint words - that is a whole new skill. I am exploring, I am learning, I am discovering things about myself that I had not experienced before. Now that is training on a whole new level.

Any Coach who’s writing a nonfiction book for the first time is going to face challenges and make mistakes.😅 That’s normal. Writing a book is a skill, so it’s unreasonable to expect yourself to be able to get everything right if you haven’t learnt how to do it yet. Over the past 4 years I’ve done 8 surveys and taught over 200 Coaches. You’ve given me the feedback and I’ve assessed the data, and from what you’re telling me the challenges you’re struggling with and the mistakes you’re making are consistently the same. Some mistakes are practical, so they’re easy enough to address. Others are misconceptions and relate to your mindset and habits which can be harder to shift - especially if you’re not aware of them. So I thought it would be helpful to share these mistakes and challenges as they’re showing up for you, and teach you how to overcome them or stop making them so that you can write your book more efficiently and easily. I’m creating a Bite-Size Post and Video series of the Top 15 Mistakes Coaches Make when they write their 1st Book so look out for them here… Here we go: Mistake #15: You don’t know how much of your story to include. Solution: Your story is relevant insofar as it relates to the message of your book. So, what is your message? (Answer that question first 😉) And feel free to ask questions, or drop by my DMs any time - I love hearing from ya! Need help figuring out your message? 🧐 I’m opening a brand new programme this Autumn (Fall), where I’m going to teach you live every week and walk you through the process of getting your nonfiction book ready to pitch to an agent or publisher in 90 days without writing it first. I’m excited because I know this is the single best way to get your book into the hands of publishers who want to buy your book so you can become a published author. And because the programme is BRAND NEW, I’m only taking 10 students. So if you’re interested in hearing more, join the Priority Waitlist now. https://buff.ly/4dQN4X0 🚀

Just finished The Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett, and it felt like having coffee with a mentor dropping wisdom bombs! Here are a few laws that hit home: 1️⃣ Law of Momentum – Success is about staying in motion. Whether it’s a small habit or a big goal, if you stop, you lose momentum. Keep moving, even if it's one small step at a time. 2️⃣ Law of Patience – Good things take time. In a world of instant results, patience becomes your competitive edge. Whether building a brand or a skill, persistence pays off. 3️⃣ Law of Storytelling – People don’t buy products; they buy stories. It’s about making your brand relatable and giving your audience something to believe in. 4️⃣ Law of Self-Belief – The stories we tell ourselves shape our reality. Change your inner dialogue, and you open new doors. This book isn't just a business guide—it’s a mindset shift wrapped in practical advice. Reading it made me reflect on my own journey and how I can apply these lessons, not just at work but in everyday life too. #Highly recommend! #booklover #books #thediaryofaceo #marketinglessons

Time: Mastering the Mundane is on Scribl: https://lnkd.in/gaJ2fpFM As of this writing, it's free because we use Crowdpricing, so the price is based on downloads and reviews. We opted into Crowdpricing Everywhere, so it should become available “everywhere” soon. I found a couple of typos while recording the audiobook; corrected files should be coming soon. The book is typeset for print, and roughly half of the raw audio is recorded. #TimeManagement  #SelfManagement  #MasteringTheMundane

Crafting a captivating book blurb can feel like an uphill battle at the best of times, especially when Blurb Bashful is lurking in the shadows. This gremlin thrives on your uncertainty, making you hesitant to describe your book in a compelling light.  How do you know they're there? Is your book’s sales page merely an objective description? A good-sounding blurb is key to converting browsers into buyers. But if you feel hesitant or get that icky, sticky feeling of coming across as self-promotional when using words like ‘thrilling, enthralling, riveting, poignant’ or comparing your book to big-name authors, then you know that Blurb Bashful is at play.  So, how do you get Blurb Bashful running for cover? Try this: Imagine your book was published by one of the big five. Their marketing team would use all the positive adjectives and compare your writing to best sellers. Your job as a self-publisher? Put on your publishing hat and own it! 🎩✨ ___________________________________________ Hi, I’m Linda. 📚❤️ I love self-publishing but was fed up with everyone telling authors to market their books but not how. 🤯 So, I created the Author Success Programme: a twelve-week coaching programme where I show authors how to launch their books and author careers with confidence.
