And that’s what my Self Publishing Blueprint does for my authors. Here is what Wendy Ryan, author of “Learn Lead Lift” says about working with us: “The key benefit for me of the Self Publishing Blueprint approach was that I had a lot of control over the timing. That became very important when COVID hit. I felt like because I had opted to self publish, and because Jane was able to have the flexibility, I put the writing on pause for six months. I needed to step back, dig in, learn, check some things and then come back and see if this was still the book I needed to write. Had I been working with a traditional publisher, I wouldn't have had that flexibility. I believe that “Learn Lead Lift” is a much better book, because it had the time to mature as it needed to, and we didn't rush it.”If you like what you’ve heard from Wendy, and are thinking of writing and self-publishing a book that will get great results for your business, learn more about how we can help you at https://www.theselfpublishingblueprint.com Resources: “Learn, Lead, Lift: How to Think, Act and Inspire Your Way to Greatness” by Wendy Ryan https://amzn.to/3Jjhra7 Connect with Jane Tabachnick at https://janetabachnick.com/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/jmtabachnick/ Twitter https://twitter.com/janetabachnick LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetabachnick/

Is the priority for you to learn to self-publish? Or is it more about you wanting to serve your audience in a better way? If it's the latter, I would say don't waste time trying to do it yourself, get Jane to help you, because it'll save you so much time, and ultimately save you a lot more money.”If you are inspired by Wei’s author journey and success, and want to know more about how we can help you write, publish and promote your book, reach out to us at https://www.theselfpublishingblueprint.com Resources: “Breakthrough Healing: Insights and Wisdom into the Power of Alternative Medicine” https://amzn.to/3SflmbQ “Breakthrough Leadership: Conversations with Innovative Leaders” https://amzn.to/3cTtKhh HumanOp Technologies https://www.humanoptech.com/ Connect with Wei Houng on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/weihoung/ Connect with Jane Tabachnick at https://janetabachnick.com/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/jmtabachnick/ Twitter https://twitter.com/janetabachnick LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetabachnick/
