A good book is more than a product, it’s more than marketing… it can define your brand and put your business above a crowded, noisy industry. Imagine what it would feel like to have your own book.
There were 297 Million non-traditional books sold in 2016, most of them self-published. You don’t need a big publisher to be successful as an author. The truth is that you can be competitive in almost any genre… and there are huge opportunities for books that match under-served genres.
In Self-Publish Your Big Idea Book, Dale Thomas Vaughn sorts out facts from fiction about self-publishing, while breaking down his systematic approach to structuring, writing and publishing books. As a result, attendees will understand how to harness the power of self-publishing to raise your profile in your industry.
What You Will Learn
• Ways to identify key characteristics of your target audience so as to create standout books
• How to target your book to a hungry audience
• Strategies for writing and formatting your book
• Ways to leverage Amazon to be a Best-Seller and sell more books
Building a culture where intrapreneurs are not afraid to fail is critical if you hope to be innovative. Here are some ideas to help create that environment
Every day we move through dozens of spaces and places. We participate in lots of inter-personal interactions, conversations and (god help us) meetings. And we spend bursts of time working alone. But how much awareness do we bring to the spaces and places we inhabit while we're in them? How much intentionality do we bring to our inter-personal exchanges? How much creativity do we foster in our own solo working situations?
Often, not nearly enough. Focus is limited, attention is split, and opportunities are lost. This session will explore purpose-driven approaches to the places, people and situations we encounter every day. With an emphasis on how to be truly engaged in where we are, mindful of what we're doing and focused on helping creativity flourish.
