Ready to Make Your Book Irresistible:
The Proven Method for Captivating Your Audience
Writing a book is a monumental task, especially for entrepreneurs and thought leaders who are already juggling the demands of their business.
What you need is a laser-focus on your Die-Hard Reader and a deep understanding of what they need.
One of the biggest challenges in writing a book is getting stuck before the finish line. You’ve got a great idea, a wealth of knowledge, and a message to share, but when it comes to actually getting the words down, it can feel like an uphill battle.
The issue usually boils down to one of these three problems:
Problem One
YOU CAN'T SEEM TO GET STARTED
You know the gist of what you want your book to say, so you can introduce the concepts fairly well. Maybe you’ve written an introduction five times. Then, you find yourself saying, “Oh I will write some more tomorrow ….” only to realize that after seeing your clients, taking care of your home, and throwing in a bit of self-care, you don’t seem to have the time to write.
Problem Two
THEN YOU GET A WANDERING DRAFT THAT'S REALLY JUST A COMPILATION OF THOUGHTS.
You are a master of your craft. And so,
you often have moments where you absolutely have to write about that thing you just experienced with a client. You have a collection of these stories. You know they fit together as a book somehow, but you just can’t seem to find the throughline. Breaking the ideas down to show your ideal reader exactly how your solution can help them - that requires a more objective way of planning.
Problem Three
THERE ARE TOO MANY POSSIBILITIES
You want to write a book about how you do the thing you do and your special ways of helping clients. You want to increase your impact by making your methods available to a wider audience. You write often, and you’re so good at helping your clients achieve their goals that you have tons of stories about lots of different problems your ideal client experiences.
But, you also have your own story, and you’ve written lots about that as well. There are some amazing nuggets of wisdom in those chapters. So maybe you’re writing a memoir instead of a self-development book.
But wait, you’re also a business coach, so maybe you want to write a book for folks in your line of work to help them start their own . . . .
I get it!
You’re an amazing coach, practitioner, or provider. You have a rich story to tell that could help lots of people, and you’re skilled in business. But these are three different books (and maybe more). Getting distracted by trying to tell all your stories means you’ll never finish one book, let alone all three.
The good news is that you CAN write your book!
There is a straightforward way to plan your book that even the busiest entrepreneur can implement.
And it will even make you better at marketing your business.
You need a SIMPLE way to identify who your reader is and what they want.
If you give them what they want they won’t be able to resist your book. Then, they’ll spread the word about it to everyone they know!
You need CLARITY on your business goals, so you write the right book for the business you WANT.
Without this clarity, you’ll wind up writing a book that brings you a steady flow of clients you don’t want. That’s a direct route to burnout.
You need to determine which of your impactful stories will help your reader get what they want out of your book.
Without engaging stories, your book will fall flat. My simple three-part framework will help you write stories your readers connect with so they stay hooked and turning pages.
When you have a clear focus on your reader, and a deep understanding of their desires, you can focus your energy on writing the right book.
You need ALL three, because just two out of three… and the system breaks:
Understanding your reader and great stories but no focus on business goals
You’ll probably write a great book that people will love, BUT you’ll wind up writing a book that doesn’t attract your ideal client. Ultimately, you’ll wind up with a business you don’t want.
Great stories and focus on business goals without understanding your reader
You tell great stories that align with your business mission, BUT the book misses the mark with your ideal reader and doesn’t sell.
Focus on business goals and understanding your reader but neglect the need for great stories
The content of your book will be factually accurate and relevant to your reader and your business, BUT it will be dry as the textbook you had to read in your 10th-grade chemistry class.
Are you ready to finally write the book you've always wanted to write?
Your readers cannot benefit from your expertise if you never write the book.
IT'S TIME TO GET STARTED.
I’m excited to bring you my simple, proven solution for writing the right book for your business.

Thought Leadership Avatar Worksheet
Establishing yourself as a thought leader requires you to think strategically about how you want to show up online and in print. Our Thought Leadership Avatar Worksheet can help you decide what to share, what to keep private, and how to align your values with your message.
Here’s the game-changing truth: if you shift your focus to your reader, you’ll break through that block and finally finish the book.
When you put your reader at the center of your writing, everything becomes clearer. You’ll know exactly what to say, how to structure your ideas, and how to make your message hit home. Why? Because you’re no longer lost in trying to say everything—you’re zeroed in on delivering exactly what your audience needs.
And here’s the real kicker: a book that’s laser-focused on your reader doesn’t just get finished—it gets noticed.
When readers feel understood, they connect with your message on a deeper level, making your book not just another read but a must-have. That’s the difference between a book that gathers dust and a book that flies off the shelves.
By meeting your readers’ needs, you’ll naturally write a book that resonates, spreads, and generates real $$$ . In short, when you write for your reader, you’re writing a bestseller in the making.
One of our clients wrote her business how-to book and, before it was even available on bookstore shelves, she sold several $50,000 coaching programs based on copies she gave away.
When you find your die hard reader, and write directly to them, you sell more than just a book. You sell your expertise and services at a whole new level.

Right Book.

Book Fly Off

Here are the problems that Reader First can solve for you…

What if I Just Want to Use AI to Write My Book?
While we don’t use AI to write books for our clients due to complications with copyright and originality, we recognize that some people may choose to leverage AI tools in their writing process. So, let’s address this head-on: even if you use AI to assist with writing, the Reader First approach is still crucial.
AI can help generate content quickly, but it lacks the depth of understanding and emotional nuance needed to connect with your readers on a meaningful level.
Without clear direction, AI may produce generic or disjointed text that doesn’t speak directly to your audience. That’s where the Reader First method comes in—it gives you the tools to create highly specific prompts for AI that keep your ideal reader at the center of the process.
By using Reader First, you’ll identify your audience’s needs, desires, and pain points, which allows you to instruct AI to focus on the right themes and tone. AI is great at providing text, but only you, armed with the Reader First strategy, can ensure that the message truly resonates.
Whether you use AI for inspiration or drafting, the clarity of purpose and audience-focus you gain from Reader First will make all the difference in creating a book that not only gets finished but actually engages and sells.
