🎙️ How Writing a Nonfiction Book Unlocks Impact, Influence, and Freedom with Stacy Ennis | The Art of Value Whispering Podcast (episode 284)

Many business owners and experts have the idea of writing a non-fiction book lingering at the back of their mind. It feels meaningful, but also a little overwhelming. Where do you start? What should you write? And how can you make sure it genuinely supports your reader?

In this episode of The Art of Value Whispering podcast, I'm joined by Stacy Ennis – book coach, author, ghostwriter and nonfiction writing mentor who helps entrepreneurs turn their ideas, stories and lived experience into clear, well-structured books. She explains how your book can become a natural extension of your work, a supportive resource for your reader and a long-term asset for your business.

Together, we look at the writing journey you can take to turn your expertise into something useful and meaningful. And here's the good news, according to Stacy:

You don't need dramatic confidence. You don't need endless time. You don't need to be "more ready" than you are.

You simply need a clear path, a supportive plan and a connection to the reader you want to help.

This episode offers a grounded, realistic way forward. Join me as we explore a simpler, more centred approach to writing your book — one that helps you shape your ideas with confidence and create something truly valuable for your future readers.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE

⭐ Why your personal stories and insights hold the key to a meaningful book

⭐ How planning turns writing from chaotic to completely manageable

⭐ The difference between information and transformation — and why readers need both

⭐ The common trap new authors fall into (and how to avoid overcomplicating your book)

⭐ How a well-crafted book can unlock visibility, speaking opportunities, and long-term authority

...and much more!
