E64: BTS of writing, publishing, and promoting a book (in record time) with Dana Snyder
Publishing a book is such a credibility-builder. It opens new doors, builds trust with your ideal audience, and cements your thought leadership in your field.
But it can be a LOT to take on in addition to your existing social impact work.
Dana Snyder joined us by the campfire to share the behind the scenes of writing, publishing, and promoting her new book in record time (writing it in 4 weeks and publishing it in 4 months!) Dana’s the founder of Positive Equation, a sought-after keynote speaker, host of the acclaimed global podcast “Missions to Movements”, and creator of the Monthly Giving Mastermind.
“You definitely have a story in you listener, I bet. And it's really [about] making the time to write it and put it down.” - Dana Snyder
