The Extraordinary Business Book Club

Episode 340 - The joy of constraints

We don't live in a perfect world. If you're hoping to write a business book, I bet there's something that's getting in your way. Not enough time, lack of focus, morning sickness, a global pandemic...  We can't get rid of these constraints, but we CAN get smarter about them, and maybe even turn them into superpowers.  Get inspiration from:  Kate Nash on working with rather than against physical disability;  Jenna Tiffany on the impact of the pandemic;  Lucy Cohen on using whatever way of writing works for you;  Jodie Cook on using time constraints for productivity and wellbeing;  Em Stroud on using time constraints for playfulness and creativity;  Bruce Daisley on the magic of TikTok for explaining complex ideas in just a few seconds;  Felicity Dwyer on creating deadlines and accountability to get things done;  Kara Tan Bhala on translating rigour into readability;  Ian MacRae on using the book proposal document to create clarity.

Alison Jones, publisher and book coach, explores business books from both a writer's and a reader's perspective. Interviews with authors, publishers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, tech wizards, social media strategists, PR and marketing experts and others involved in helping businesses tell their story effectively.
