Jonathan Stanley's thoughts on working with Book Launchers as a Non-Fiction Author

When I began the Book Launchers process, I was a little skeptical in terms of my first draft. I'd put a lot of work into it and I felt I had created something special. And as I was going through this process, I began to realize that I really needed to focus on the hook and the message of the book. While an honorable first attempt meant that my message wasn't getting conveyed in the way I needed it to get conveyed. So they really helped me structure the story as well as the hook and really focus me in on an outline where I could share my expertise in a way that was consistent and flowed through the narrative, chapter through chapter. Jonathan Stanley Purposeful Performance the Secret Mix of connecting, leading and Succeeding I was working as a Chief Experience Officer for an organization and my position was eliminated after my company was sold. I really thought about what it was like. I've been a purpose driven entrepreneur and I really wanted to share success with others. My main goal was to touch someone's life and help them to create a company culture of excellence while really creating meaning for the people they serve, both inside the organization as well as their customers and community. I was inspired to write the book because I talked to so many people who are disengaged at work. They're feeling lost, excluded and unheard. I wanted to give leaders the opportunity to set a culture with intent rather than letting it create a culture chaotically based on employees experiences and opinions. The number one benefit I've received from Book Launchers and writing my book is focus. It's really important that number one, you don't write a boring book, but number two, that you write your message in a compelling way that's going to resonate with your core audience. They really helped me focus in on who specifically I was writing for and and how I could help. And that really helped me hone the message and deliver what I consider to be a book that really helps leaders, entrepreneurs, CEOs achieve their dreams. I knew Book Launchers was right for me. After completing a bunch of research online, I was going to go down the publishing route. And then I thought about self publishing and I was really trying to understand the landscape of book publishing and I discovered Book Launchers. I bought Julie Broad's book. I read through it. I began to understand there was a lot I didn't, I didn't know about launching a book. And Book Launchers was specifically the place I wanted to go to get the help I needed with spreading my message. What the book has done for me is it's given me the opportunity to participate in a number of podcasts. I recently booked two speaking engagements and I'm getting the message out. One of the most beneficial things to me from this whole process is people reaching out to me and telling me how the book has influenced the way they think and how they want to create. Create a mindset of giving rather than a mindset of gaining. That's. That's really what's most important to me. It's not about what you gain, it's what you can give. And spreading that message is so important. And getting the positive feedback has been incredible. I recommend Book Launchers because they take care of you throughout the entire book writing journey. It's not just about words on a page. There's a whole lot more involved in writing a book. I actually received six several awards for the book, including best written book, which is a testament to the staff at Book Launchers. I mean, in terms of editing, it was probably one of the most valuable parts of the process for me. They really shone and I really felt heard. It was just an amazing process from start to finish.
