It’s Time to Invest in Your Success!

You've been in business a while now and you want to write a book. You've listened to your fellow entrepreneurs talk about their new book, their gig as a keynote speaker for a prestigious conference and their undeniable boost in sales with barely disguised envy and you tell yourself: 'It's my turn now!"

So what do you do first?

You have notes and ideas, you have stories to tell that people will enjoy and you have knowledge and experience screaming to be put on a page and shared with the world. You probably scoff at those ads that promise an elevated authority and a place in the leadership annals - because you already have that. After all, why would you want to write a book if you weren't already an expert in your field? So you gather your notes, find a quiet spot and start organising and writing, writing and organising until you're so frustrated you throw every piece of paper up into the air, yell at the walls and storm out - never to return.

But it becomes an itch that you cannot seem to reach. You really want to write that book - but with all the other balls you're juggling, it's just too hard!

Enter the writer’s coach.

A writer's coach is a professional who provides guidance, structure and accountability throughout your book-writing journey. So, if you’re a would-be author wondering whether hiring a writer's coach is worth it, here are seven compelling reasons why it’s a smart investment for your future.

1. Gain Expert Guidance from Start to Finish

One of the biggest challenges for first-time authors is knowing where to begin. A writer’s coach helps you develop a clear roadmap from ideation to completion. Whether it’s outlining the structure, refining your messaging, or providing feedback on your content, a coach helps you avoid common pitfalls.

Pro tip: A good coach will ensure that your book aligns with your goals. Whether you're aiming to use the book as a marketing tool, to establish authority, or to share valuable lessons, they help you collate your original content so it speaks directly to your audience's needs.

2. Save Time and Avoid Overwhelm

Writing a book can be a daunting task, especially when balancing it with running a business. Many entrepreneurs get stuck halfway through their manuscripts, bogged down by work or personal commitments. A writer's coach helps you stay on track, providing deadlines and personalised feedback so you can consistently move forward.

Pro tip: Time management is key. A coach will work with you to create realistic writing schedules that fit around your busy life, ensuring you avoid burnout while still making progress.

3. Structure Your Ideas with Clarity

Many entrepreneurs have a wealth of knowledge and ideas, but struggle to organise them into a cohesive narrative. A writer’s coach helps you clarify your ideas, ensuring they flow logically and are presented in a way that engages your readers. They can help with everything from chapter outlines to the overall structure of the book.

Pro tip: A coach with experience in nonfiction, particularly in business books, will know exactly how to structure your content to charm your readers while showcasing your expertise.

4. Get Unbiased Feedback

As an entrepreneur, you might not have the luxury of a trusted circle who can provide objective feedback on your manuscript. A writer’s coach provides professional, unbiased insights into what’s working and what’s not, allowing you to improve your book before it reaches your audience. This constructive criticism is invaluable in refining your message and ensuring your book is the best it can be.

Pro tip: Coaches will point out areas where your message is unclear or repetitive, helping you deliver maximum value in every chapter.

5. Tailor Your Book to Your Brand and Audience

Your book is a reflection of your personal brand. A good writer’s coach will help you fine-tune your tone and style to ensure it aligns with your brand and speaks to your target audience. For entrepreneurs, this can be especially important as you navigate the specific needs and preferences of your local market.

Pro tip: Make sure your book speaks to your target audience’s pain points. A writer’s coach will help you identify what’s most relevant to your readers, making sure your book addresses their challenges and offers actionable solutions.

6. Boost Your Confidence as a Writer

If you’re not a professional writer, it’s natural to feel uncertain about putting your thoughts on paper. A writer’s coach not only helps with the technical side of writing but also encourages you to embrace your unique voice. They’ll push you to be authentic, ensuring your message resonates in a genuine and compelling way.

Pro tip: Embrace your voice. A coach will guide you to write with authenticity, making sure your personality shines through while maintaining professionalism.

7. Fast-Track Your Publishing Journey

Beyond the writing process, a writer’s coach can offer insights into the publishing world, whether you choose to self-publish or seek a traditional publisher. Many coaches have connections in the industry and can help you avoid costly mistakes, like poorly formatted manuscripts or lackluster cover designs.

Pro tip: A writer’s coach can assist with everything from securing an ISBN to understanding the best platforms for distribution, including print, digital, and even audiobooks.
