Is being an author a business?

Summary:

As we enter the New Year, lots of people are thinking about starting a new business, or pivoting in a new direction. It’s a great time to rethink your goals and where you want to grow in 2024.

You might be thinking about writing a book to help you establish your new business in 2024. A book can be a great tool to boost a business, or even grow in a new direction, but it is NOT the best way to start a business from scratch.

  • How you can use your book as a primer to explain your value proposition to clients
