What is it about stories?

I have always been interested in stories. How they help us convey what can be otherwise very difficult to express. They also have a way, (if told well) to create lasting memories and learning.

In this episode, I brought on a master at structuring stories for businesses and organizations.

Some of the things we touch on are

  • What exactly stories are.
  • When and how to use stories.
  • Different story structures and how to find them.
  • What is not a story
  • When not to use stories
  • and so much more

My guest David Hutchens is an absolute master at breaking down story structure and making it simple for each of us to see how we can start using stories in our businesses and in our lives.

David Hutchens is and author and creator of learning experiences for organizations around the world. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Learn more at David Hutchens.com

I hope you will pick up Davids amazing Circle of the 9 Muses. It’s now my go-to manual for creating stories in business.

TFP-004 Is Now The Time to Write A Book?

Have you thought about writing a book to put you and your business on the map?

Todays episode is about exactly that, writing a book. Not just any book but a book to share your thoughts and ideas with the world. When I talk to business owners and creatives, I hear them them say, “I really should write a book about this” or “I started a book and someday I will finish it between helping clients”.

The Problem

The problem is that we are entrepreneurs and creatives and not really book writers. We are busy coming up with big ideas and new projects and its really hard to see how we can find time to write that book.

Writing your book

In this episode I brought in an expert guest that is an entrepreneur just like you , that has written several books and is a business book coach and publisher.  Lynne Klippel is a writer, book publisher, and writing coach. (learn more about Lynne in her bio below)

  • We talked about the three different types of books business owners should write.
  • When you should think about writing a book.
  • What to write about.
  • Finding an editor.
  • Self Publishing vs Traditional.

We also talked about the most common mistakes the writers make and how to approach your writing and get your book finished in a timely manner.

  • Creating your outline.
  • The importance of setting a realistic writing schedule.
  • How to market your book.
  • Costs associated with hiring an editor and publisher.
