CBD Women in Business Network. Why We Publish.

Ever wanted to author your own book? Join us for this close up panel discussion with three published authors who reveal the why and what of their publishing journey - and the impact on their personal & professional self-fulfilment, lives and businesses.

The Background: Do you harbour the desire to create something? Maybe even authoring your own book - something to be held, talked about, sold on Amazon or shared with clients or prospective clients? Many of us are full of admiration for those that have actually done it! This session introduces two successful authors and explores the lessons learned and some tips for aspiring authors.

The challenges, triumphs and lessons learned: Where might you start, who can provide advice, should you partner with a publisher or self-publish? Just as important is your inspiration and motivation to create content that people will want to read, learn from and will inspire action. These are all real considerations.

Our panel discusses these challenges and the milestones celebrated along the way; their personal fulfilment and impact on their confidence as well as the business reality - did it help take their business in a new direction? Was that their objective?

And, as usual, they'll be plenty of time for discussion and networking.
