070: Your Book in Hand: A Year from Now with Gillian Whitney
As we close out 2025, this episode invites you to step into your time machine and envision where you want to be one year from now. Building on last week's conversation about gifting business books, Gillian challenges you to consider: Could you be giving YOUR book to clients this time next year?
Whether you're a prospective author who's been rolling that book idea around for years, an existing author whose book needs a fresh coat of paint, or someone ready to transform their signature content into their own published work, this episode offers a powerful framework for thinking about your 2026 author journey.
Gillian shares her own 21-year journey as "queen of the unfinished manuscripts" and the catalyst that finally got her book written. She breaks down realistic timelines (spoiler: it doesn't need to take two years), explores different paths to authorship from dictation to repurposing existing content, and reminds us that books are more than marketing tools—they're bridges that connect you with readers and keep you top of mind long after the final page.
This reflective episode serves as both a gentle nudge and a practical roadmap for making 2026 the year your book becomes reality.
