Welcome to the Thriving therapyneur podcast. The show for ambitious therapists who are ready to unapologetically make more money, scale their impact and build their dream coaching business. I'm Carly Hill, therapist turned coach turned CEO of a seven figure online business. I created the Thriving Therapeutic podcast because I'm obsessed with helping big hearted therapists outgrow the office and build successful and sustainable online businesses. So if you are wondering how you can continue to make an impact without sacrificing the life you love, welcome. Therapeneur. This is exactly the place for you. Think of it like the business school we never had. I am so excited to dive in with you. Let's get started. Happy Wednesday, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Thriving Therapy podcast. Maybe it's not Wednesday when you're listening to this, but we do have new episodes that drop every single Wednesday. If you're my mom, you know that because she is literally my number one fan. She calls me all the time and she's like, I'm caught up on all of your episodes. If you are an avid listener, you know we drop episodes every single Wednesday, but obviously you can tune in whenever you would like. It's Saturday where I am. I'm about to go furniture shopping with my husband. I'm so excited. I have been shopping online, but we move into our new house in January and we got to get some furniture in there. So so much stuff is backordered. I want to capitalize on Black Friday sales, but before I pop out for the day and go shopping, I wanted to hop on here and explain to you some details of the bring your book to life program. This opens for enrollment on December 10th, and then we start with our new authors January 13th. So we're starting off 2025 with a bang. Bring your book to life program. It only opens once a year. So if you have dreams and aspirations of writing a book, publishing your very first masterpiece, but you don't know where to start and you want to take the headache out of it, we have a whole entire team that's going to help you become a published author in six months. I banged my book out in six months. I had a book writing coach, I had a graphic designer, I had a whole team behind me and I wouldn't have been able to do it without them. So by the end of this episode today, you'll be inspired, you'll be informed, you'll be ready to take the next step towards making your author dreams a reality. If you've ever dreamed of writing a book so I'm curious. Like I know I did. I remember being a little girl writing stories. I had like a little poem book imagining what it would be like to see my name on the COVID of a book. It's just something that I always knew I was going to do. Fast forward to now. Obviously I have a book. I published my first book called Therapeneur and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Like, not to be dramatic, not just emotionally, but professionally too. Writing a book can do so much for you and your business. It's an instant credibility boost. So when you publish a book, you position yourself as the go to expert. There's no questions about it. It is like a microphone that just amplifies your voice, your message, your impact. I talk a lot about being the Beyonce of your space. This is a way to just instantly boost your credibility and become the Beyonce of your space. You are known as a thought leader. When you have a book, it can also help you with client attraction. So my book has quadrupled my email list. It's brought in five times more clients. It is a business card on steroids. People who read your book, they're pre sold on your expertise. They trust you before they even meet you. And we know that trust equals conversions. Your ideal clients, your prospects, your leads, your potential clients, they have to trust you. I was actually laughing. It was yesterday. I was looking at my Amazon reviews. So my therapy or book, if you haven't read it, you totally should. It's on my website, but it's also on Amazon and I was reading my Amazon reviews and I laughed out loud to myself because someone was like, watch out. Just need to warn you, this is an entryway to all of her programs. And I was like, damn right it is. This is absolutely a marketing tool for me and it is an entry point to build trust. And if somebody wants to go deeper, I invite them to go deeper. On like page five or six in my book. I literally say there's two reasons this book exists. One, I would love for you to eventually invest in therapist to coach accelerator so that you have support and you have everything you need to implement everything that you're about to learn inside this book. And number two, to empower you to start achieving now and you'll understand the value that I would like you to invest in taking action as soon as possible has. So I'm literally laying it out there like, hey, this book is going to give you so much information. But I would also love for you and invite you to go deeper. So if you want us to hold your hand, I invite you into the Therapist to Coach accelerator program. This is up to you. This is up to your audience. You're never going to force anybody to do something. But I am planting that seed. And I am unapologetically inviting you with open arms. Hey, if you like what you learned. But you want to fast track your success, you want a quantum leap. You want to collapse those timelines. You don't want to do it by yourself. You don't want to make costly mistakes. My team and I got you. And we'll walk you through all of this step by step. But hey, if you want to DIY it, this book is for you. And you totally can. I was afraid when I put this book out because I would reread it. I reread my book so many times. I was so freaking tired of reading my book when I was, like, going through the proofreading process, but I was like, damn, this is good. Like, not to toot my own horn, but damn, this is good. And oh, my gosh, I'm scared. I cannot believe I'm giving all of this gold away for free. I mean, I feel like this is like my life's work. I have spent so much time and energy learning everything that I poured my heart and soul into this book. So for someone to just be like, watch out. This is just her whole intention is to get you to buy her shit. Okay, you wanna go deeper, I got you. But you wanna DIY it. Trust me, read the book and then come back to me and let me know and tell me that you didn't learn something new. Cause you won't. There's so much gold in there. I digress. Another thing that your book can do for you. So it can help you be the Beyonce of your space. Instant credibility boost. It can help you attract clients. It's a lead generating tool. So you can use it as a lead magnet, but it can also help you amplify your revenue. This can bring you more opportunities, such as speaking engagements. Ton of my clients have aspirations to be on stages or just even get speaking engagements with companies like going to do lunch and learns. And then they can sell on the back end, like workshops, consultancy, gigs. And I have trainings on that, by the way. I teach you how to get gigs. But when you have a book and you have that credibility, you're going to be able to land these gigs a lot easier. Okay? It's not just a product, it's a tool to monetize your Expertise in ways that maybe you never even imagined. But I know that writing your book, there's a lot of common challenges. Where do I start? How do I find the time? This is probably the biggest one. You guys are busy, I know that. How do I find the time? And what if it's not good enough? Or what if I don't have enough to say? Or one of our authors this past round, she was like, I have too much to say. How do I trim this down? And so we spent a lot of time helping her shorten her chapters so that we could make it consumable for her readers. So all of these questions are kind of floating through your head. Maybe you're kind of like your own worst enemy in this way and you're thinking that it's never going to get off the ground. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my work and I'm pretty type A, which is why I would reread my stuff so many times. And I asked my book writing coach at the time, like, how am I going to get this done in six months? Like there. I keep rereading my second paragraph over and over and over again, trying to perfect every sentence. And she's like, carly, I need you to give me your shittiest rough draft copy. And that permission slip to just brain dump without worrying about perfection. It was what I needed to move the needle forward and bringing my book to life. So having a book coach to give you the frameworks, having the deadlines, the deadlines were crucial for me because I very easily could have pushed it off. And I did have some very late nights and weekends where I was like, no, I can't do this because I have to write my book. But it was a short term sacrifice for a lifelong product and a huge reward. Again, not only professionally, but personally. So that accountability of having a book coach is crucial. And we offer that inside the bring your book to life program. You get five individual one to one sessions that are an hour long. There's also 13 group coaching sessions that you get. You get a graphic designer, you get a typesetter, you have somebody who's helping you edit you your book, all of it is there for you. We have what's called a book shepherd, so they help you even upload your book. We run a promotion for you, so we help you become a number one Amazon bestseller. It's the A to Z. It is something that I wish I had when I was writing my book. So I had pieces of that, but I didn't have a full support team like I have curated for you guys. So what else is inside the bring your book to life program? Can you give us a little bit more of a sneak peek, Carly? Well, yes, I can. So first off, I need to say there's only eight spots available and one of my clients has already claimed one. So there's only seven spots. And we purposely keep it small because of the time that we dedicate with you. It's a lot of work on our end. Our book coaches and our proofreader, our designer, we need to work with you properly and make sure that you have a masterpiece that you are confident in when you put it out there into the world. So we launch this once a year. There's now only seven spots left. We fully anticipate to sell out, and then we won't be open again until next year. So if this is on your radar, you can book a no pressure, no cost consult call and we'll walk you through in details what this could look like for you. And is this realistic? We can go over payment plans, the whole nine yards. So what's included? Step by step guidance. We break the book writing process down into manageable milestones so you never feel overwhelmed. The first three months of the six months of bring your book to life, that's when you're gonna be writing most of the time. Then we kind of pass it off to our team of experts, which have editors, proofreaders, graphic designers. I mean, they have 85 years of combined experience and they're going to comb through your book and then pass it back to you. So we're going to guide you through this hybrid publishing. This gives you full control over your book. So there's a lot of cons when you go the traditional publishing route. I definitely recommend going the hybrid publishing route because you have full control over your book. No weird revenue shares. And that's what we promote. That's how I publish my own book. It's a lot more of a seamless, faster process as well. And then we help you with marketing strategies as well. So we don't just help you write your book, but how are you going to use it as a lead gen tool to actually bring in revenue and amplify it and get more clients and boost that credibility. So if you think that you don't have the time to write your book, you can't afford it. You don't know where to start. I encourage you to reach out to us. Our four authors are finishing up their books. They should have them in their hands like any moment now. We were going back and forth on their cover designs. We get so many good choices back from our graphic designer. It's so hard to pick sometimes. So they were posting polls to their community like, you know what should be my cover design? And then that's that they have their published book and they're off to the races to ship it out to their audience and bring in more clients have this reward in their hands. So if you are curious about writing your own book, if it's been on your heart, now is the time to take action again. Bring your book to life program opens for enrollment on December 10th and we start January 13th. We kick off with our brand new authors Monday, January 13th at the beginning of the year. So let 2025 be the year you become a published author. We would be honored to guide you through this process. Click in the show notes to learn more. Don't wait. Spaces are limited.
