Writing a book may feel like running a marathon, but it’s really more like an Ironman Triathlon because marathon runners get to stop when they reach the finish line, but an Ironman is a multi-stage journey that challenges you in different ways. To complete the metaphor… First, there’s the swim—dipping into your ideas and getting them down on paper. Then comes the long bike ride, where you push through the editing and revising phase. And finally, the run—publishing and marketing your book, which requires just as much stamina and strategy as the rest. It’s a test of perseverance, but with the right support and resources, you can cross that finish line successfully. I’ve created resources to help you find your author community and meet experts who help entrepreneurs become successful authors. The Biz Book Publishing Hub has over 50 Hub Partners ready to guide you through writing, editing, publishing, and marketing your business book.
