The Fox, the character for stage 2

Stage 2 · Ready to build the business

The Fox

Amazon is a bookstore, not a business plan.

How do I turn my book into a business?

A book becomes a business when it leads to an offer. That means a clear paid service such as coaching, consulting or speaking, a path from the book to a conversation, and a launch that puts the book in front of the right buyers. The book is the door; the offer is the room.

  • You get asked to speak but have nothing to sell from the stage
  • Your offers are vague, or there are too many of them

What you need next

  • A launch or collaborative book that puts you in front of buyers
  • Speaker and media materials that open stages
