In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with the brilliant Steve Gordon, founder of a wildly successful publishing company called Million Dollar Author that’s helping entrepreneurs turn their stories, expertise, and insights into high-impact books that elevate their brand, attract new opportunities, and drive real revenue.

What’s fascinating about Steve is his journey—from working as an engineer in a consulting firm to becoming a visionary entrepreneur. He realized something powerful: some of the most brilliant minds in business were still hidden in the shadows, simply because they didn’t have the right platform to share their knowledge. So, he built a company that brings those voices to light—through the power of authorship.

We dive deep into:

  • How writing a book can instantly position you as an authority in your industry

  • The proven process his company uses to help you go from idea to published book in just 90 days

  • Why writing a book is not just about credibility—but about creating lasting impact and generating serious ROI

  • How many of Steve’s clients start landing clients and speaking gigs before their book even launches

  • The often-overlooked ways a book can strengthen relationships, build trust, and unlock hidden business potential

This conversation is packed with game-changing insight for coaches, consultants, founders, and thought leaders who want to level up their visibility, impact, and income.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How to strategically use a book to build brand authority and trust

  • The difference between writing for influence vs. writing for vanity

  • Why you don’t need to be a “writer” to author a book that changes lives

  • How books can shorten your sales cycle and attract ideal clients

  • The behind-the-scenes process of crafting a book that drives results

  • Why done-right publishing creates opportunities before the book is even released

If you’ve ever thought about writing a book but didn’t know where to start—or questioned whether it was worth the time—this episode will absolutely shift your perspective.
