Thinking about writing a book? Wondering how long it would take you? Check this out: https://www.writeyourbusinessbook.com/writing-timeline-planner No email required.

I'm running a free webinar in July and I want to tell you why. Not the "here's what we'll cover" version. The real reason. I talk to coaches and consultants every week who have a book in them. They know it. Some of them have known it for five, six, seven years. The idea is there. The expertise is there. The book isn't. And it's not because they're not ready, or not good enough, or don't have anything worth saying. It's because writing a business book without a clear plan, a structure that makes sense, and someone to help you work out what you're actually trying to say, is genuinely hard. Most people stall. The book stays in their head. Another year goes by. So I'm doing something about it. Your Book Won't Write Itself: Let's Fix That is a free one-hour webinar for coaches, consultants and experts who are ready to stop putting their book off. One webinar. Three dates in July. One hour. Real teaching and Q&A. No waffle. 📅 Thursday 16th July, 10:30am BST 📅 Wednesday 22nd July, 6:00pm BST 📅 Thursday 30th July, 10:30am BST (See first comment for time conversions) Can't make any of those dates? Register anyway, I'll send you the replay. If your book has been sitting in your head for longer than you care to admit, this is for you.

I can't tell you how many coaches, consultants and business owners I've spoken to who tell me, "I've always wanted to write a book." Sometimes they've been thinking about it for months. Sometimes it's been years. It's rarely because they don't know enough or don't have something valuable to say. Usually, it's because they don't know where to start. Or they've started three times already and got stuck. Or life has simply got in the way. Writing a business book is much easier when someone helps you break it down into manageable steps. That's exactly why I'm running a free one-hour webinar in July. It's called Your Book Won't Write Itself: Let's Fix That, and it's designed for coaches, consultants and experts who've been meaning to write their book but haven't quite got going yet. During the hour I'll show you: • Why so many business books never make it past the idea stage. • What your book actually needs to do for your business. • Why having a clear structure makes writing so much easier. • How to write in a way that sounds like you instead of feeling forced. • What to do next so you don't lose momentum once the webinar finishes. There'll be plenty of time for questions too. The first session is on Thursday 16th July at 10:30am BST. If you can't make that one, I'm also running it on Wednesday 22nd July at 6pm BST and Thursday 30th July at 10:30am BST. If you've been saying "I'll write my book one day," maybe this is the nudge you've been waiting for. I'd love to see you there.

Before you write a single chapter, you need to answer one question: what do I want my reader to be able to do, think, or feel differently at the end of this book that they can't, don't, or won't right now? Get that answer right and the rest of the structure starts to fall into place. You're not trying to include everything you know. You're building a journey from where your reader is now to where you want them to be. A business book that works usually does three things, in this order: 1. It meets the reader where they are. It names their problem or frustration. If your reader feels seen in the first chapter, they'll trust you for the rest of the book. 2. It shifts how they think. Before you can change what someone does, you usually have to change how they see the situation. This is the part most business books skip, and it's why some feel like a list of tips rather than a genuinely useful read. 3. It shows the reader what to do. Practical, actionable, and sequenced so it builds. Not everything you know, just what they need, in the right order. If you're staring at a blank page wondering where to start, try this exercise. Write three sentences, one for each stage: Sentence 1: "My reader is currently struggling with / frustrated by / stuck at..." Sentence 2: "By the middle of my book, I want them to understand / believe / see that..." Sentence 3: "By the end, they will be able to..." Don't overthink it. Write the first honest answers that come to you, even if they feel rough. You can refine them later. Those three sentences are your book in miniature. They tell you where you're starting, where you're going, and what the journey looks like in between. Every chapter you write should be moving your reader from sentence one to sentence three. If a chapter isn't doing that, it probably doesn't belong in the book. Most people find this takes about ten minutes. What comes out is usually more useful than a chapter list they've been fussing over for weeks. Drop a comment if you want to share what you came up with.
