Summary
Welcome back to B is for Book Coach . Today, we’re making space for relief . A well-respected leader in a niche industry sent out an email recently that had me yelling and drawing out charts like I had missed my calling as a sports commentator. The same message hit a friend of mine via a podcast just days before, and my authors tell me they hear it all the time. It’s everywhere. - The sales messaging formula that stresses us all out about our books - A truer version to translate it to whenever it crops up - Steps you can actually take to level up your visibility - A reminder that you're already an authority, book or no The B is for Book Coach space is one way I create direct support for authors as they bring their books to life. If you’d like to expand that space for yourself and someone else , contributing to the Mutual Momentum fund brings those services to authors who need more than just space to get started. You can create a one-time boost of Momentum at bit.ly/mutual-momentum, or subscribe to keep the forward movement going for us all.
