Have you ever thought of your book as a business card that opens doors? It’s not just about selling copies; it’s about the ripple effects your book creates in your industry and beyond.

From attracting the right clients to building a reputation as a thought leader, a book can position you for success in ways you never imagined. But it requires more than just publishing—it needs a plan to engage your audience and amplify your message.

That’s why I created the Biz Book Pub Hub. Our experts and community members are here to help you navigate every stage, from writing to publishing to new revenue opportunities. Get started at http://www.BizBookPubHub.com.

Now, I’m excited to introduce today’s panelists, who’ll share their stories of transformation through their books.

Lisa DeAngelis wrote “Embracing the Unknown: Exploring the Pathways to Change,” a thoughtful guide that empowers readers to navigate and embrace sustainable change through curiosity, awareness, and intentional choices.

Dr. Mara Karpel wrote “The Passionate Life: Creating Vitality and Joy at Any Age,” a transformative guide blending psychology, personal wisdom, and holistic health principles to help readers cultivate a vibrant, joyful, and meaningful life—no matter their age or challenges. 

Susan Fitzell wrote “Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Maximizing Success through Inclusive Dynamic Workplace Design™,” a comprehensive guide that equips leaders with actionable strategies to build inclusive, innovative teams by harnessing the untapped potential of neurodivergent talent.

Please join me in welcoming Lisa, Mara, and Susan.

Books as Business Cards: Learn why your book is a powerful door-opener, not just a product to sell, but a way to attract clients, build credibility, and establish yourself as a true thought leader.

Defining Success: Hear how the definition of “successful” authorship has evolved—from counting book sales to measuring impact through speaking gigs, networking, and industry influence.

Getting Reviews That Matter: Pick up proven strategies for earning authentic book reviews from the people who matter most—your ideal readers, referral partners, and professional peers.
