    Key Takeaways ·

    • Practical Strategies for Business Influence: Sam's new book, "The Write Strategy", provides a comprehensive guide to establishing yourself as a key person of influence within your industry. It's packed with actionable tips, exercises, and templates to help you from the spark of an idea to publishing and marketing your book.
    • The Power of Self-Publishing: Sam highlighted the value of maintaining ownership and control over your work through self-publishing. Contrary to popular belief, self-publishing can be extremely professional and offers the flexibility to adapt your book to new opportunities without restrictions.

This can significantly increase your reach and convert potential clients, demonstrating your expertise and offering profound value—even before a formal engagement.
