LIVE HUB 432 Panel Smith Davis Dawood

Ever feel like your book will never be finished? You’re not alone. Every author hits that point when they doubt, question, and even want to give up. But pushing through those moments is what separates a dream from reality.

Once your book is done, a whole new journey begins: publishing and sharing your message with the world. And this journey doesn’t have to be one you take alone. The right strategies, partnerships, and community support can make all the difference in turning your book into a tool that amplifies your business impact.

I work with authors to ensure their books reach the readers who need them most and drive meaningful engagement. My strategic book launch program focuses on building connections that matter—conversations, media opportunities, and business growth.

If you’re ready to take your book to the next level, schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com.

Before we dive into today’s discussion, here’s a word from our sponsor.

Now, it’s my pleasure to introduce our panelists, who will share what it’s really like to be a business author.

Bernadette Smith wrote “Inclusive 360: Proven Solutions for an Equitable Organization,” a practical roadmap to help organizations turn good intentions into meaningful action by embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion across every aspect of their operations.

Greg Davis combines personal insights, research, and practical strategies to help readers overcome obstacles, embrace change, and find lasting happiness in life in his book, “Checkmate: Tips & Lessons to Help You Make the Right Moves to Achieve Happiness!”

Marcia Dawood empowers readers to create meaningful change and financial growth through angel investing, turning passion into impactful action with accessible tools and insights in her book, “Do Good While Doing Well: Invest for Change, Reap Financial Rewards, and Increase Your Happiness.”

Please join me in welcoming Bernadette, Greg, and Marcia.
