I know you're doing great work to help writers reach their writing and publishing goals. It can be frustrating when you want to focus 100% of your time helping them understand the Blueprint or guide them through the Inside Outline, but you have to spend so much time sending contracts, setting up client files, and onboarding them. Not to mention worrying about missing an important deadline.
Wouldn't you love to have a ready to go system so you can easily onboard 1:1 or group book coaching clients and spend more time on them?
Hi! I'm Lisa Shaughnessy
My philosophy is Because the World Needs More Storytellers and my mission is to support those who help writers get their stories and voices out into the world.
Having worked with several book coaches over the years, and interviewing them for my podcast, I understand what your business looks like from a writer's and a business perspective.
I would love to use my 20+ years working with businesses to create processes to onboard clients and manage their business systems to help you - the book coach who is changing people's lives!
You have the business basics, but don't know how to implement all the moving parts.
The great thing about your book coaching certification training was that it gave you some business basics to get started finding clients. Yay!
But, now that you're in the thick of it, you realize there's so much you need to do.
Set up your email marketing. Create an onboarding system so you're not recreating the wheel everytime. Then, once you have all the pieces, you have to figure out how they go together - and keep them running smoothly.
That's where I come in!
I help book coaches manage business operations, onboard group and 1:1 book coaching clients, understand how to attract their ideal writer, and plan a writing retreat around their book coaching services.
I've been helping small business owners organize and manage their businesses since 2012, but recently niched down to working with book coaches to support my mission of getting more stories and voices out into the world. And, because I've worked with several book coaches for my own writing projects, I understand your business from the writer perspective as well as the owner perspective.
If this sounds like just what you need to get your book coaching business running more smoothly, I'd love to chat with you about how I can help.
