I can't tell you how many coaches, consultants and business owners I've spoken to who tell me, "I've always wanted to write a book." Sometimes they've been thinking about it for months. Sometimes it's been years. It's rarely because they don't know enough or don't have something valuable to say. Usually, it's because they don't know where to start. Or they've started three times already and got stuck. Or life has simply got in the way. Writing a business book is much easier when someone helps you break it down into manageable steps. That's exactly why I'm running a free one-hour webinar in July. It's called Your Book Won't Write Itself: Let's Fix That, and it's designed for coaches, consultants and experts who've been meaning to write their book but haven't quite got going yet. During the hour I'll show you: • Why so many business books never make it past the idea stage. • What your book actually needs to do for your business. • Why having a clear structure makes writing so much easier. • How to write in a way that sounds like you instead of feeling forced. • What to do next so you don't lose momentum once the webinar finishes. There'll be plenty of time for questions too. The first session is on Thursday 16th July at 10:30am BST. If you can't make that one, I'm also running it on Wednesday 22nd July at 6pm BST and Thursday 30th July at 10:30am BST. If you've been saying "I'll write my book one day," maybe this is the nudge you've been waiting for. I'd love to see you there.

I believe success is not about doing more, but about doing what matters. That is why I mentor authors, coaches, bloggers, marketers, and other online professionals who want to grow their online presence and build meaningful businesses. Through guidance, clarity, and strategy, I help them align their work with their deeper purpose. On the bookshelf: I have three business books on Amazon, seven on my website and a couple in my Skool communities. I am working on a couple of novels as well. I am looking forward to learning from, and sharing with, members of this group. "The time to find your guide is before you get lost in the woods." Stephen B. Henry, WordPress Wizard & Coach's Coach.

Before you write a single chapter, you need to answer one question: what do I want my reader to be able to do, think, or feel differently at the end of this book that they can't, don't, or won't right now? Get that answer right and the rest of the structure starts to fall into place. You're not trying to include everything you know. You're building a journey from where your reader is now to where you want them to be. A business book that works usually does three things, in this order: 1. It meets the reader where they are. It names their problem or frustration. If your reader feels seen in the first chapter, they'll trust you for the rest of the book. 2. It shifts how they think. Before you can change what someone does, you usually have to change how they see the situation. This is the part most business books skip, and it's why some feel like a list of tips rather than a genuinely useful read. 3. It shows the reader what to do. Practical, actionable, and sequenced so it builds. Not everything you know, just what they need, in the right order. If you're staring at a blank page wondering where to start, try this exercise. Write three sentences, one for each stage: Sentence 1: "My reader is currently struggling with / frustrated by / stuck at..." Sentence 2: "By the middle of my book, I want them to understand / believe / see that..." Sentence 3: "By the end, they will be able to..." Don't overthink it. Write the first honest answers that come to you, even if they feel rough. You can refine them later. Those three sentences are your book in miniature. They tell you where you're starting, where you're going, and what the journey looks like in between. Every chapter you write should be moving your reader from sentence one to sentence three. If a chapter isn't doing that, it probably doesn't belong in the book. Most people find this takes about ten minutes. What comes out is usually more useful than a chapter list they've been fussing over for weeks. Drop a comment if you want to share what you came up with.

Hi everyone! I’m Liz Lemarchand. I’m an author, coach, amateur stand-up comedian, mother, wife, volunteer, marketing & sales executive, and Skool community owner. So basically… I wear a lot of hats, drink a lot of coffee, and somehow still keep signing myself up for things that require courage. 😅 Professionally, I’ve spent years in marketing and sales leadership, and personally, I’m passionate about helping women build more confidence, income, and freedom through their work. I’m also the founder of Money & Growth for Women, a Skool community for women with side gigs, offers, businesses, or big ideas who want to get good at sales without the cringe. Inside, we talk about money mindset, sales confidence, visibility, pricing, communication, and how to build something meaningful without turning into someone you’re not. And it's where I met @Rachel Harmsworth ! 🎉 I’m excited to be here because I believe writing a business book is such a powerful way to clarify your message, share your expertise, and lead through your lived experience. Looking forward to connecting with you all and cheering on your book journeys!
