If you want to be an author (or already are one) I’m going to let you in on a secret: You are also a business owner.
Yep! Having a book means you have a business (like it or not)!
Writing for fun is great but being a professional author means you need some business know-how to be a success.
I learned a lot about this after my first two books Listful Living and Listful Thinking were published and since I media-train authors I get a first-hand look at what happens in the book world.
And as I start the publishing process on my first fiction book, I’m already learning that the business opportunities are different.
Book publishing and business expert, Jane Friedman, joined me for my live-streaming show Inside Scoop to teach us all about The Business of Being an Author.

When I was a senior health producer at Fox News, I booked guest experts all the time.
But I couldn’t book them all and often they suffered from not being able to articulate what they know in a succinct and compelling way. So it’s part of why I do what I do today as a media trainer and video coach – to help as many people as possible do this well.
To become a go-to media expert, you need to be able to speak in soundbites. To do this I created what I call “The Accordion Method” – I use it myself and teach it to all my media-training clients.
