HUB 471: AUTHOR PANEL - Greg Davis, Jeff Skipper, and Jenn T. Grace

What if done really is better than perfect, especially when writing the first draft of your book? Too many brilliant voices get stuck in the trap of trying to make every sentence flawless before they’ve even finished the first draft. But perfectionism doesn’t move ideas forward. Action does. And in the world of thought leadership, clarity comes after courage. The truth is, writing a book isn’t about getting it right the first time.  It’s about showing up for your message, trusting the process, and being willing to revise, refine, and grow along the way. Every imperfect draft is proof that you're doing the real work. That’s why I support authors at every step of the journey—from messy beginnings to powerful launches—so their ideas don’t stay stuck in their heads.  I’m not a writing coach or developmental editor. I’m a strategist.  I’ll ask you questions to confirm that you’re writing the book that will lead to your desired results. Book a complimentary 30-minute session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Now, let’s hear from three authors who didn’t let the pursuit of perfection stop them from sharing something meaningful with the world: Greg Davis wrote “Checkmate: Tips & Lessons to Help You Make the Right Moves to Achieve Happiness!,” a practical and heartfelt guide that blends life lessons and financial wisdom to help you make the right moves toward lasting happiness. Jeff Skipper wrote “Dancing with Disruption: Leading Dramatic Change During Global Transformation,” revealing 12 proven strategies that equip leaders with the tools to overcome resistance and lead bold transformations with confidence. Jenn T. Grace is the author of “Publish Your Purpose: A Step-By-Step Guide to Write, Publish, and Grow Your Big Idea.” She’s also the founder of Publish Your Purpose, a hybrid publisher for authors who are thought leaders, experts in their fields, and visionaries paving the way to social change—and one of our Biz Book Pub Hub Partners. Please join me in welcoming Greg, Jeff, and Jenn.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Why “done” is better than perfect: How successful business authors bust through self-doubt, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome to share their message—and why your messy first draft is more powerful than you think.  🟠 Review strategies that move the needle: Learn the exact plays our guests used to land 100+ reviews, keep feedback coming in, and why recency and verified ratings matter on Amazon.  🟠 Building a pipeline from book to business: Discover how to craft calls to action, bonus downloads, and strategic pathways so your book naturally converts readers into clients, partners, or speaking gigs.  🟠 Community, accountability, and cross-promotion: Why publishing is a team sport—how networking with other authors, joining group promotions like Kindle Flash Sales, and sharing honest feedback will accelerate your book’s reach and impact.
