HUB 401: AUTHOR PANEL – Lisa MacDonald & Sean Glaze

by Robbie Samuels | Nov 28, 2024 | Networking, Podcast, Professional Development | 0 comments

Write a book and watch the money roll in, right? Well, not quite. There’s a lot more to the journey from writing to becoming a successful author than most people realize. Today, we're sitting down with a fantastic panel of business authors to explore the real story—both the highs and the hurdles—of navigating the business publishing world.

I connected with these authors while organizing a Kindle Cross-Promotion during Amazon Prime Days. The results were incredible because we had 77 business books on sale for just 99 cents or $1.99. Thanks to our collective efforts, many titles shot to the Top 10 in their categories, and 30% even secured the coveted #1 Best Seller spot. I sold over 220 books, proving that collaboration makes a difference.

In this panel, we’ll dive into what it means to publish a business book and what authors can gain from the process.

Get ready to hear some valuable insights from our remarkable panelists!

Lisa Macdonald is the author of “The Most Common Entrepreneurial Mistakes and How to Avoid Them” for people who want to be in charge of their own lives, find new clients, and beat the competition.

Sean Glaze wrote “STAYING COACHABLE: A Story With 4 Questions to Help You Thrive in Change and Enjoy Relentless Improvement.” This is a story about a father and son experiencing the challenges of change and what they learn.

Please join me in welcoming Lisa and Sean.
