It may feel like a marathon when you write a book, but a marathoner can rest when they cross the finish line. When a business author reaches the publication date, they can’t rest. They now have to shift from writing to marketing their business book because publishing was not the goal. A step often skipped is the book launch, which overlaps the end of the writing phase and the start of the marketing phase. I love this part. I coach entrepreneurs to build a launch team of likely prospects and referral partners, get 50+ Amazon reviews, and create a pipeline for the author’s offers. Don’t jump from writing your book to paying for PR services before your book looks like a success on Amazon. Reviews are social proof, and conversations with prospects lead to new revenue opportunities. Reach out to schedule a complimentary book launch brainstorming session.

And now, it’s my pleasure to introduce our panel of authors, who will join me in a moment for a frank conversation about the ups and downs of the author journey. Biba Pédron wrote “M.D.R: The Winning Formula for a Successful Life: Luck does not exist; You create it.” This book will show you—and even prove to you—that anything is indeed possible, even your wildest dreams. Nothing is impossible. Brenda Reynolds wrote “TBD—To Be Determined: Leading with Clarity and Confidence in Uncertain Times” where she shares information, strategies, and real-life examples that will grow your confidence and hone your leadership skills. Julia Freer Goldstein wrote “Beyond the Green Team: Aligning Internal and External Communication to Advance Corporate Sustainability.” A key message is that the way you communicate sustainability—first within your company and then with customers, investors, and other stakeholders—is the essential foundation of any successful green initiative. Let’s give a warm welcome to our panelists, Biba, Brenda, and Julia. Learn why book reviews are vital for your book’s social proof and impact on platforms like Amazon and beyond. Discover why separating your publication day from your launch day can alleviate stress and streamline your promotion timeline. I offer tactical advice on acquiring reviews, from drafting templates to guiding reviewers through the process. Understand how well-reviewed books enhance your credibility and business reach, and the importance of engaging your network in the review process.
