Now let’s look at the keywords in this definition and in chronological order: …
What is this Thought Leadership anyway?
Not just a Book Coach, Mindy Gibbins-Klein is a successful author herself; it was her book writing experience that led to The Book Midwife’s creation. In 24 Carat Bold, Mindy calls would-be leaders to take a leap of faith and boldly rise to the challenge of inspiring and leading others. The book’s aim is to inspire and empower people to …
The Book Retreat Experience
Our Book Writing Retreats, the very beginning of the 90-Day Book Writing Program, have brought together many people from many different spheres, from property investors to sports coaches, from new mums to marketing managers. All come together with the shared aim of getting their ideas down in the most efficient and coherent way and producing their best book possible. At …
Authors need to understand royalty calculations
Over the past few weeks, I have been asked to take a look at three contracts my clients have been sent by other publishers. Normally I would not do this, and I do not and cannot offer any legal advice, but I was curious about what was happening in my industry and what other companies were doing. So I had …
Audacious April – Day 8/9
Ready to be bolder? Personally, I don’t think it is possible to be in business nowadays without being bold.

If you haven’t yet read 24 Carat Bold, maybe now is the time to get your hands on a …

The Ideas of March
Once upon a time, the Romans used to celebrate the new year during the month of March, with many festivities happening around the 15th or the IDES of March. What a great concept. A time of spring and renewal (at least here in the Northern hemisphere) seems like a much more sensible period to make a new start on things …
