Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur | Start and Grow Your Own Business 1247: DON'T Write Your Own Book! Do This Instead... w/ Kristin Clark
Tired of hearing "content is king" but have zero time to create it? This episode is your solution. We sit down with expert ghostwriter and publisher Kristin Clark to demystify the process of turning your expertise into powerful books and articles, even if you hate writing. Kristin reveals how a ghostwriter can authentically capture your unique voice, transform your scattered ideas into a structured masterpiece, and position you as a go-to authority in your field. This isn't just about outsourcing content; it's about delegating the creation process so you can build your brand, attract clients, and create a lasting legacy without staring at a blank page ever again.
💡 What You'll Take Away For YOUR Business

- 📚 The step-by-step process of turning your expertise into a book, from initial positioning and outlining to the final published product.

- ⏱️ How you can become a published author with as little as 15-25 hours of your own time over the course of a year.
- 🤝 Why you should vet a ghostwriter on a video call to gauge their excitement—if they aren't passionate about your project, they're not the right fit.
