Align your book with your business goals, not your whimsy

#Countdown2024 Day 27: Sometimes, the urge to write a book comes from a deep, personal desire. I've been there, crafting stories and ideas that resonated with me, pouring my heart and soul into the pages. It's a fulfilling journey and can bring financial rewards. However, it is also a path ruled by chance. Each book created this way is a roll of the dice, and you never quite know if it will be met with fans or crickets.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. You just need to know that going in so that you won't be disappointed when a few copies sell and no one is begging for your autograph.

What does that mean for entrepreneurs who want to grow their business with a book? Does it mean they should throw their hands up in the air and give up?

Heavens, no! When it comes to leveraging a book for business growth, you need to be thoughtful and strategic. That's the secret sauce.

As an entrepreneur, you can't just write the book your fancy wants to write. Your fancy it tied up in dreams and imaginings and not grounded in the reality of business. What you need to do instead is align your book with your business goals. Ensure that every chapter, every word resonates not just with your interests, but also with our business strategy.

Writing a book that grows your business demands a blend of your unique insights and a keen eye on your business objectives. It's about ensuring your book is not just a Unicorn project, but a powerful piece of your broader business puzzle.

So, before you dive into writing your lead-generating, authority-amplifying book, ask yourself: How does this book fit into my business strategy? How can it amplify my business goals?

Make the shift from just writing a book to satisfy an itch, a curiosity, a passing fancy ... to crafting a strategic asset that elevates your business to the next level.
