We’re nearly three weeks into 2025 and I’ve been sharing with you a bunch of ideas to make this your best year yet.
Including storytelling in last week’s edition.
This week, I’m taking it one step further and sharing one of my fave things to teach (as many of you know)…writing a book.
If that has you shaking your head already, I want you to think again because a book is more than just a collection of words – it’s a game-changing tool for growth, influence, and impact.
Here’s why writing a book should be on your 2025 to-do list and how it can take you to new heights along with resources to help you do just that:
Become the Go-To Expert in Your Niche
Think about it: Who gets instant credibility? Authors.
When you publish a book, you position yourself as an authority in your field. Whether you’re a coach, consultant, or entrepreneur, being a published author sets you apart and shows your audience you’re serious about helping them succeed.
Here’s the best part: You don’t have to write a 500-page masterpiece. A short, impactful book can be just as powerful. Focus on solving one key problem your audience faces.

A Book Opens Doors…
Let’s be honest – everyone’s vying for attention online. But when you’re a published author, you stand out as that credible expert in your field…
Which means that books often open doors to speaking engagements, media opportunities, and collaborations. Your book is your ultimate business card!

Go Global
In today’s interconnected world, your audience isn’t limited to your local community – it’s global. Platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) make it easier than ever to get your book into the hands of readers worldwide.
Someone halfway across the world could be inspired by your story and buy your product or book your services simply because of your book.
These are essential resources for self-published authors:

Elevate Your Brand With Authenticity
In 2025, authenticity is your most valuable currency. Writing a book gives you the opportunity to share your journey, challenges, and victories in a way that connects deeply with your audience.
It’s not just about selling – it’s about storytelling.
Your book positions you as relatable, genuine, and invested in helping your audience succeed…so long as you do it right.

Empower Others and Create a Lasting Legacy
When you write a book, you’re not just building your business – you’re creating a ripple effect of inspiration. Your book has the power to change lives, spark ideas, and motivate others to take action.
Think about the books that have shaped your journey. Now imagine your book doing the same for someone else. That’s a powerful legacy to leave behind.
