In today's episode, we'll be talking about writing with Alison Jones.
Alison is the founder of Practical Inspiration Publishing, a publishing partner for businesses, and host of The Extraordinary Business Book Club, a podcast and community for writers and readers of extraordinary business books.
She has written and edited several books herself, including This Book Means Business: Clever ways to plan and write a book that works harder for your business.
We discuss how to decide whether writing a book is right for you and your business. We also explore how to develop a positive mindset for writing, whether the end result of it is a book, a blog, or a business report.
Alison shares some fantastic insights on the habits of a successful writer and some practical tips that will immediately improve the consistency and quality of your work.
As you'll hear, Alison is also the person who offered me my book deal, which tells you that she is both knowledgeable and has impeccable taste. In September, I joined her 10-Day Business Book Proposal Challenge with a vague notion of what I'd like to say were I to write a book at some point. I finished with a clear idea about why now is the perfect time to write it, who my audience is, and the steps I'll follow to publish something that I hope you'll all want to read. All of which is a massive compliment to Alison, the course, and the community you join when you take part in it.
