Episode 125: Get Comfortable Using Your Book as a Business Experiment with Nicole Lance
As entrepreneurs, we love to be in control, which keeps us in business. However, when it comes to book writing, the journey can be lonely, difficult, and uncomfortable when we don't have the know-how. The fact that we have to ask for help writing our book can make us nervous and ultimately withdraw from the process or take more time than intended. Writing a book is an experience that should be enjoyed, not dreaded. We have to step back from the process and realize that writing a book is a journey. One that doesn't always go as planned and requires support to bring to fruition.
Join the conversation with Nicole Lance as she shares her book-writing journey and how being intentional, asking for help, and walking with like-minded people can help you feel more empowered in the process.
