972 | Writing The Book That Becomes Your Business Card

In this episode, Marsha shares how we can shift from the emotional and subconscious side of writing and into strategy. We explore the idea that your book can become your business card, and ultimately a doorway to opportunities you cannot yet see.

This isn’t about writing for ego or status. It’s about recognizing that your story carries weight. That it builds know-like-trust at scale. That it positions you for stages, podcasts, collaborations, programs, press, and impact in ways that social media alone never could.

Highlights

(01:12) – What if your book became your business card — not just a story, but a strategy?

(02:32) – Your book is a snapshot in time. You’re allowed to evolve beyond it.

(03:13) – Your book isn’t a final destination. It’s the beginning of your work.

(04:15) – You must grow into the version of you who can hold what your book opens up.

(05:10) – If your past self had seen your current reality, she might have been too scared to begin.

(06:02) – Writing a book creates long-term visibility — far beyond a single post.

(06:34) – Ask yourself: What do you want people to know about you three years from now?

(07:37) – Your story could be the exact answer someone has been searching for.

(08:20) – Your book can become a point of legacy that lives far beyond you.

(09:07) – The impact of a book can’t always be measured in dollars — but in doors opened.

(10:25) – 120 books didn’t mean 120 sales — it meant 120 potential ripple effects.

(11:04) – Your book may open doors you’re not meant to see yet.
