Unveiling the Ghostwriter’s Creative Process with Laura Fox

Laura Fox joins host Doug Crowe to discuss her career as a ghostwriter and the unique skills involved in writing books. She accidentally fell into ghostwriting when a client asked if she could turn their disorganized notes into a manuscript. Laura found she enjoyed the creativity and anonymity of capturing another author's voice.

 

Laura focuses on uplifting topics like spiritual, health, and business leadership books. Her process involves at least one in-depth interview per chapter to understand the author's background and philosophy. Then, she drafts a chapter a week, followed by revising the full draft together with the author. Laura recommends vetting potential clients' commitment to finishing their book, as rushed timelines rarely produce quality results.

Maximizing Value for Your Future Exit with Steve Duke

In this episode of The Author Your Brand podcast, host Doug Crowe interviews Steve Duke, an entrepreneur, business advisor, and author. They discuss the importance of exit strategy planning for business owners and common pitfalls to avoid.

 

Steve emphasizes being prepared for unplanned exits, which account for 50% of transitions. He advises monitoring the bottom line over the top line, avoiding over dependence on the owner, key employees, or major customers. Steve recommends replacing yourself early and cross-training staff as a backup. He suggests assessing your situation to identify risks but notes planning does not have to mean imminent exit implementation. Steve shares a story of an owner who grew too fast by overly focusing on sales, ran out of cash, and went out of business. He highlights that even small businesses can apply strategies like process documentation. Steve advocates working with an advisor to evaluate your company's value and opportunities objectively. The key takeaway is that strategic planning is crucial to maximize value for a future exit.
