    HUB 486: AUTHOR PANEL - Antonio Valles and Kathy Sparrow
    Jan 6 2026
    When you write a book, you're not just sharing your knowledge, you're planting the seeds for long-term growth. Your book can open unexpected doors: attracting ideal clients, boosting your visibility, and positioning you as a trusted authority in your space. But to make that kind of impact, you need more than a finished manuscript—you need a strategy that helps your book connect with the right people and lead them back to your business. That’s exactly why I started the Biz Book Pub Hub. It's a free resource where experts, authors, and writers come together to support each other through every stage of the book journey—from blank page to book launch and beyond. You can explore all of it at www.BizBookPubHub.com . Today, I’m excited to introduce two incredible authors: Antonio Valles wrote “Empower Your Presentation Skills: The Confident Entrepreneur's Guide to Grow Your Business,” a hands-on guide for professionals ready to level up their speaking skills and use presentations as a tool for building authority and closing more business. Kathy Sparrow is the author of “Ignite Your Leadership: Proven Tools to Energize Teams, Fuel Momentum, and Accelerate Results,” a book packed with powerful tools and insights to help leaders inspire their teams and create lasting organizational success. Please join me in welcoming Antonio and Kathy. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Author Credibility and Client Attraction: Discover how publishing a well-crafted business book instantly boosts your authority, leads to more inbound inquiries, and helps ideal clients connect with your expertise. 🟠 Navigating the Inner Critic: Hear real stories about overcoming perfectionism, procrastination, and imposter syndrome. 🟠 Leveraging Book Marketing Collaboratively: Find out why a vibrant author community, strategic launches, and cross-promotion events like Kindle Flash Sale are key to lasting visibility and bringing in reviews, not just one-day bestsellers. 🟠 Lining Up Your Book with Your Business: Learn actionable tips for driving readers from your book directly to your speaking, consulting, or coaching pipeline—using bonus content, links, and clear calls-to-action inside your book.

    HUB 485: AUTHOR PANEL - Carlo Mahfouz and Michelle Tillis Lederman
    Dec 16 2025
    Yet again, I helped one of my clients have the lightbulb moment that publishing a book isn’t about selling copies. The benefit of a book is how it opens doors. The moment your book hits the world, it becomes a beacon, drawing opportunities you might never have considered. Many authors find that beyond book sales, their work leads to speaking engagements, networking breakthroughs, consulting roles, and other unexpected ways to grow their influence. Your book can position you as an expert, a thought leader, and a sought-after voice in your industry—all while building meaningful connections with those you can impact most. But you need to be ready to seize these opportunities. It’s why I work with authors to develop strategies for maximizing the impact of their books—so every opportunity is met with intention and purpose. Want to talk more about how your book can open doors? Visit www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch (or relaunch) brainstorming session. Now, let’s dive into the milestones reached and lessons learned by our panelists … Michelle Tillis Lederman wrote “The Connector’s Advantage: 7 Mindsets to Grow Your Influence and Impact” to help guide you in building powerful, inclusive relationships that accelerate success, open doors, and create lasting impact, no matter your career stage or goals. Carlo Mahfouz wrote “Reality Check: In Pursuit of the Right Questions” to help leaders, innovators, and curious minds master the art of asking the right questions at the right time, unlocking clarity, self-awareness, and strategic insight in the face of change. Please join me in welcoming Carlo and Michelle. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Beyond Book Sales: How publishing a business book unlocks speaking gigs, consulting roles, and industry visibility far beyond simple royalties. 🟠 Structuring Abstract Ideas: Ways to transform big, abstract frameworks into relatable stories and repeatable processes for your target audience. 🟠 Community & Collaboration: The game-changing impact of author communities, launch teams, and getting honest feedback before you go to print. 🟠 The Power of Strategic Reviews: Step-by-step approaches to continuously gathering Amazon reviews, leveraging bulk orders for speaking, and making your book a core part of your client engagement.
