The 'NaNoWriMo' for Business Book Writers
The 30-Day Business Book Writing Challenge
Sign up by April 29, 2024 by 11:59 pm CDT
Is Your Business Book (Still) Waiting To Be Written?
Are you a business owner who knows that a book will take your business to the next level, but you’re struggling to turn it into reality?
Are you looking to grow your thought leadership as a tool to reach new audiences, but you need a push to make it happen?
"Someday," you say?
Many experts, coaches, consultants, and service providers dream of sharing their expertise in a business-boosting book, yet they put off bringing that book to life because of self-doubt, confusion, and a lack of time are getting in their way.
Why do we put off something that can change your life, your business and those you're here to serve?
lack of time
The busyness of your day makes setting aside time to write feel overwhelming. We’ll show you how time blocking can help you chip away at your word count day by day in a way that feels manageable and not overwhelming.
brand gaps
Not having a clear foundation on your brand, audience, message and positioning will make writing harder. The program planner we'll help you get clear on your book positioning so it's targeted to the right audience.
lack of structure
Not having a plan for writing or for what you want to write creates confusion which leads to procrastination. The Business Book Brand Blueprint™ will make it clear what you need to write so you look forward to your writing time each day.
self-doubt roadblocks
Have perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or comparison kept you from writing? It’s time to move these roadblocks out of the way where they belong and reframe them in a way that no longer keeps you stuck.
bad writer syndrome
It’s time to leave the red pen marks in the past where they belong and write now. Leave the editing to the experts but remember that they can’t edit a blank page.
fear of failing
Worried that you’ll write a book that no one will read? Every writer has that fear! One thing is for sure – if you don’t write you’re book, no one will read it. It’s time to see how many readers you can reach!
Introducing...

Why Haven't You Started Yet?
WE GET IT
→ It's Not Easy To Do This Alone...
You've got the vision to write a book that will grow your brand and business, but something's holding you back...
→ Maybe it's the daunting blank page staring back at you, the nagging voice of perfectionism whispering, "This isn’t very good,” or “You’re not a good writer.”
→ Perhaps imposter syndrome has you second-guessing your every word – or even your authority for the work you do.
→ Maybe you hear the relentless clock ticking, which convinces you that there's never enough time to write the darn words.
No matter your reason, your business book is an important part of your business’s growth BUT it will not write itself.
→ It's Time to Overcome Those Obstacles
Join our challenge and stop the excuses and stagnation as you take massive, intentional action on your business book.
This 30-day journey isn't about polished prose or perfect paragraphs.
It's about quantity – It’s about getting the hardest part of the book writing process done – completing your draft.
→ You Won’t Have To Go On This Journey Alone

What They're Saying
Success Stories
About Michelle
" Marketing has always been a challenge for me. I love what I do but promoting myself felt laborious. Michelle helped me clarify and craft my brand messaging and positioning that immediately got more me views, clicks and ideal clients for my coaching practice."
Florence Doisneau
"Working with Michelle was a game-changer. She helped me clarify my focus and develop a strong personal brand."
Catrina Ossmann

Lisa Richer
"Michelle's approach is warm and supportive while at the same time she's sharp in diagnosing branding issues, working through solutions, and holding me accountable."

Rachel Hassall
"Working with Jen has taught me so much both personally and professionally. Most importantly how to doubt my own doubt about what I can do, set realistic goals and ensure I am able to achieve them!”
Ann Robinson
"Jen will help you regain your confidence by helping navigate through self-doubts, self-applied barriers to your success, and help you get organized, and show you the sky is the limit.
Michelle Rowe
"Since working with Jen, I've learned to recognize what to do when I feel “stuck” and how to get "un-stuck” by being curious, non-judgmental and taking that leap of faith; faith in myself that I can do hard things."
