S2 Ep 21: Tell Your Story: Why Self-Publishing a Book is the Next Step of Your Entrepreneurial Journey with Jyotsna Ramachandran

As coaches and entrepreneurs, we can often tell ourselves that we’re not creative. We’re not making art or directing plays. But that doesn’t mean we’re not creative. Our creativity lies in thought leadership and expertise and it’s extremely valuable. The same guidance that you offer your clients is a message that you can also share with the world in the form of a book. Before you get turned off by the thought of finding an agent and a publishing house, I’m talking about self-publishing. It’s an industry that has gained so much traction in the past few years and it’s one I encourage you to explore as a part of your business.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Jyotsna Ramachandran, an author, book publisher, TEDx speaker, and author success coach. Jyotsna shares how she found herself in the authorship and publishing industry, the difference between traditionally-published and self-published books (and why self-published is better!), and the process of getting on stage to give a TEDx talk.
