Podcast appearances and mentions of laura gale

On this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast, host Jed Doherty had a delightful conversation with two talented authors - Lisa Jacovsky and Laura Gale.  First up, Lisa Jacovsky joined the show to celebrate her new book "Mischievous Cat Brothers." Lisa shared how this book is a fun, silly story narrated by her younger cat, with incredible illustrations created by a team that employs individuals with autism. She spoke passionately about her mission to promote understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity, especially when it comes to autism.  Jed and Lisa dove deep into the complexities of autism diagnosis and treatment, highlighting the importance of individualized approaches and the need for better training for doctors and teachers. They also explored the potential of using AI ethically in classrooms to support students with diverse needs. Next, Jed welcomed Laurel Gale, the author of the new picture book "Robots Don't Make You Go to Bed." Laurel explained how the story follows a boy named Owen who wishes for a robot to replace his mom's rules, only to realize the value of his mom's guidance. Jed and Laurel discussed the challenges of transitioning from writing middle-grade novels to crafting a picture book, and the joys of collaborating with talented illustrators. Both authors shared their passion for engaging young readers in fun, thought-provoking ways. Laurel talked about the potential for families to explore the role of robots and technology in their lives, while also discussing the emotional themes of the book. Jed and Laurel also touched on Laurel's background as a wildlife photographer and her plans for future writing projects. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone interested in the power of children's literature to inspire, educate, and celebrate the beauty of diversity.

Motivation can come from 2 things: - You want to go away from a painful situation - You want to go towards a pleasant situation Our achievements can become our motivation. It is what drives us to continue achieving that goal. Another thing is to develop a purpose or an objective in life that you would want to achieve. The question comes from Laura Gale #motivation #motivationalvideos #motivational #motivations #purposedrivenlife #purposeoflife #purpose

Many entrepreneurs want to write a book – I know I do. It's been on my to-do list for some time. Yet it can feel overwhelming. Where do you start, what do you write about, and how do you get people to read your book?   Laura Gale, my guest this week on The Sigrun Show, helps entrepreneurs write, publish and market books that transform their businesses and leave a legacy they're proud of. She says that a legacy book is one of the most effective ways to build a long-lasting connection with your audience.  We spoke about the purpose of a legacy book, how you can get started, and why marketing a book is just as important as writing it.   If you plan on writing your book, don't miss out on Laura's different approach on how you can leave a legacy with your book.  “So many amazing books have gone completely unnoticed because the author didn't know that it's not just going to sell itself.” - Laura Gale   Are you more of a reader? Scroll down to read about how you can get started on writing your legacy book.    In this Episode of The Sigrun Show: How Laura became a (ghost-) writer (2:45) Why you don't have to wait until the end of your life to leave a legacy (3:57) The purpose of a legacy book (5:39)  How you attract people to buy your legacy book (8:00)  When to write your legacy book (and when not) (12:39) Building Momentum before launching your book (15:21) How to get started on your legacy book (22:33) Writing yourself vs hiring a ghostwriter (24:06) How to Get Started with Your Legacy Book If you're an entrepreneur, publishing a book helps you establish credibility and connect with your audience. People get a sense of who you are and what you're about, and when they decide to get involved with you, you've already established a certain level of trust.  What sets Laura's approach apart is that the books she helps her clients write aren't just about their subject matter. She includes their how and why, their worldview and perspectives. Laura says the aim is to show the reader the personality of the author, and why the reader is better off with them instead of someone else. It's how an entrepreneur's book can transform their businesses and leave a legacy.    Whether you plan on writing your book yourself or hire a ghostwriter to write it for you, the steps to get started are the same:  Understand the intent of your book What is the strategic purpose of your book? How will it fit into your already existing marketing?  Get clear on your ideal reader Be clear on who your ideal reader is and create a detailed avatar. Establish what you want your readers to take away from your book and where you want to lead them.  Work backwards If you're clear on what the outcome for your readers should be, think about what information and which stories you need to include in your book that lead towards this outcome. Create an outline of the material so that when you start writing, you're not staring at a blank page.  Setting up your book is similar to planning a marketing campaign. If you're clear on who you're trying to reach, what you want to leave them with, and have a sense of the content you want to share, you're off to a great start to getting your legacy book written.  Are you planning on publishing a book? I'd love to hear how you're going about it. You can follow, connect and share with me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  I want to hear from you!  To keep creating free quality content on a regular basis, invite high-profile guests, and keep the show going and growing, I need your review.

How many of you want to write a book?  How many of you started writing a book or two, but never finished.  I hate to say it, but I fall into the latter category.  I have spoken to so many people that think about writing a book, get overwhelmed, and it never gets from your head to paper.  That's where a ghostwriter comes in. Today I had a great conversation with Laura Gale, Ghostwriter on how a ghostwriter can help get your idea onto the page, the process of publishing and so many other insights.  It's a lesson to get your idea from your head to a published book. Please join us for a stimulating conversation.

Laura Gale has been in the publishing industry for more than a decade, and has worked on bestsellers such as the Twilight series and the personal memoirs of Nelson Mandela and Tina Fey. Now, she helps entrepreneurs write, publish, and market books that transform their businesses and leave a legacy they're proud of. In today's episode you'll hear us talk about HOW to write and publish your book as an entrepreneur, WHY to do it, WHEN to do it, and how to make the most out of this positioning tool.

Author and marketer Kiri Masters shares dozens of important learnings about her writing and publishing journeys in the latest episode of the Published Author Podcast.  But above all, Kiri's message is that investing the time to produce great content is essential to cut through the crowded world of entrepreneurial books and content marketing.  In this interview with host Josh Steimle, Kiri details her self-publishing experiences with Amazon and IngramSpark, her co-authoring experience, and working with a ghostwriter.   TOP TAKEAWAY: CONSISTENTLY GREAT CONTENT CUTS THROUGH NOISE  Kiri is author of The Amazon Expansion: Learn How To Skyrocket Your Sales, Sell Globally And Make Your Brand An International Success and Amazon For CMOs: How Brands Can Achieve Success in The New Amazon Economy, co-authored with Mark Powers.  She's also a Forbes contributor. While she acknowledges that it's helpful to have that Forbes name behind her: “The quality of your content is what really matters.  “People reach out to me, after two years of writing for Forbes, and say ‘Your articles are really thoughtful'. But it's about the content at that stage. So it's a long burn, and very rewarding when you get to a point where it's obviously paying off for you. But that's 1000s of hours of investment to get to this position.”  GROW YOUR BUSINESS, MAKE YOUR MARK  Both Kiri's books have significantly grown her business, Bobsled Marketing, and have paid for themselves several times over by now.   She notes that the mark of a successful book is the amount of influence it has in its niche. “What kind of cut through do you have of your tiny little corner of the internet? If you've got a pretty narrow focus like I do, (my book) seems to have achieved a decent level of cut through.”  This “cut through” is seen in the fact Kiri's often encountering people who have either read or are reading one of books. She met a prospect in San Francisco who pulled the book from her handbag and had chapters marked up with notes. And recently Kiri spoke with a guy on her podcast who had her book on his bookshelf.   “I've also had people send me photos of them walking around an ad agency in New York, and someone's got Amazon for CMOs on their desk,” she adds.  CO-AUTHORING AND USING A GHOSTWRITER  Kiri decided to work with a co-author on Amazon For CMOs. In part, this option appealed because co-author Mark had a much larger network at the time, and Kiri recognized that between them both they'd be able to create a great book and leverage their networks to promote it.   They worked with ghostwriter Laura Gale on Amazon For CMOs, and the result was superb. “Working with a ghostwriter while also having a co-author really helped to smooth over any sort of differences in opinion about what the right approach was,” explains Kiri.  “If we had different ideas about a topic in the book, the ghostwriter found a really neat way to bring those together. Or even say, ‘Well, you know, Kiri thinks this and Mark thinks that, and so that works really well in that dynamic'. So, a really good ghostwriter will have a process that they use.”  Kiri shares so much more in this episode, including how she chose the title for her most recent book, book cover design, the amount of effort needed to market a book, why she chose self-publishing, and the role of writing in thought leadership.  LINKS  Twitter  Facebook  Youtube  https://www.bobsledmarketing.com/kiri-masters  https://www.bobsledmarketing.com  https://www.ecommercebraintrust.com  SUBSCRIBE TO PUBLISHED AUTHOR PODCAST  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe.

Writing a book can help you generate leads, add value to your audience, and sell higher ticket products. But what do you do when writing isn't your thing? In this episode I speak with book coach, editor, and ghostwriter Laura Gale about how to write (and market) a book even when you don't like writing. To learn more about Laura head to her website.

Writing humbles you. It makes you see things in yourself -  your writing, your worldview, your weird way of expressing ideas - that you didn’t otherwise notice. Most people have a dream of writing a book but never realize it. Not because they can’t or don’t know how, but because they’re afraid. Because an unrealized dream is safer than an action that could fail.   In today’s episode of Abundantly Clear podcast, Malorie talks to Laura Gale, an author, editor, and ghostwriter. Laura shares why being totally honest with what you want in life is super important, and how writing helps you do exactly that. She also shares how writing, a super incredible tool, can be used to clear up our minds and get laser-focused on our goals.

In this episode… Have you ever thought about writing and marketing a book to increase exposure for your business? Is the thought of writing a book too intimidating for you? What would it take for you to write a book? On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from entrepreneur and author, Laura Gale. In her conversation with Jeremy, Laura opens up about her experience in the publishing industry, what it was like working with J.K. Rowling, why she loves helping fellow entrepreneurs, challenges she has faced, and much more. You don’t want to miss a minute of this fascinating episode featuring Laura’s story! Can you imagine working with the likes of J.K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, and other famous authors? What an amazing experience! While it was an opportunity of a lifetime - Laura Gale says that working with those authors had their fair share of challenges. The sheer scale of coordinating and marketing a book with such a famous author is no small feat. While working with those authors and many others - Laura learned key skills that would help her later on in her career when she decided to leave the traditional publishing industry behind. Why do entrepreneurs do crazy things like leave the comfort and safety of their careers and head out into open and uncharted waters? The truth is - they want to bring something to the marketplace that they know only they can bring. Leveraging her experience in the publishing industry - Laura set out on her own. The journey wasn’t all sunshine and roses - she faced her own set of challenges as she forged her path. Through all the difficulty that came her way, Laura remained convinced that more entrepreneurs and leaders needed to tell their story - that’s what keeps her going. Did you know that writing a book could help you expand your platform? It’s true! From politicians to business leaders - more and more leaders are taking the time to tell their story. While old school institutions like newspapers and traditional TV networks are going the way of the dinosaur - books still resonate with people. Something about telling your story - especially in a raw, honest, and compelling way - really connects with a wider audience. Just take a look at Amazon and the HUGE numbers of book sales - both traditional and audiobooks! If you haven’t considered it before - give it another thought - writing a book might be the right move for you and your brand. If you want to make an impression and get a result you’ve never had - you’ve got to do something outside of the box. Too often, business leaders get so focused on doing things the same way - that they fail to innovate! Laura Gale learned that if she wanted to make an impression on people - she had to get creative. From unique mailing efforts to taking the time to meet with an individual face to face - whatever broke from the same tired script - Laura tried it. Guess what? It worked! Laura began to receive positive results from her efforts. What can you learn from Laura’s story?
