Today I am going to talk to you about writing and publishing a book, which feels a little bit weird, because I feel like I talk about this stuff all the time.

But last week at a networking meeting I was asked, "how do I go from having an idea in my head to holding a book in my hand?", and at that moment I realised that I don't actually talk about it all the time at all.

What I do is I talk around it, and I do that because I assume people already know certain things - the things I am going to talk about today.

I am almost always in the company of small businesspeople. They're my people - my tribe - and I feel very comfortable with them.

Being asked how to write a book is a regular occurrence, but I hadn't been asked in that way before, and I am super grateful that it happened, because I realised that I'd forgotten what the people around me don't know.

So that's what I'm going to talk about today.

Let's explore how you can go from having an idea in your head to holding a book in your hand.
