248: From Book to Business: How Authors Can Scale Their Impact & Income w/ Taurea Avant

At first glance, authors and entrepreneurs might seem like they live in separate worlds. But they are more connected than you might think. Traditionally, books have been treated as stand-alone works, limiting their potential impact. Out of the 11,000 books published every day, only about 1,000 make over $1,000 a year. But what if your book could do more than sit on a shelf? What if it could spark a movement, create consistent income, and build the foundation of a thriving business?

In this episode, we’re diving into how your book can be the blueprint for your brand, the manifesto of your mission, and the seed that grows into a profitable platform. For Black entrepreneurs, who often face barriers to capital, mentorship, and visibility, authorship can be a powerful form of ownership and authority. That’s why we’re joined by Taurea Avant, a graduate of Hampton University, a two-time TEDx speaker, and the Queen of Book Profiting. She has helped over 6,000 speakers and coaches become published authors and turn their books into multiple streams of income. In this masterclass style episode, she walks you through the exact steps to go from book to business while giving you the tools to scale your impact along the way.

DURING THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why most books don’t generate real income and how to change that

• The mindset shift needed to go from author to entrepreneur

• How to turn chapters from your book into offers, services, or experiences

• What systems and tools you need to run a book-based business

• How to use your book to land speaking opportunities and media features
