I think it's a great way as an okay, from business wise, it's a great way because you're producing in a way, almost like a living bio.

You know, if somebody really wants to find out anything about you, you know, go to your author page, you know, as an author, you have an author page, you know, they can look at your books, they can read them.

It's also, a little bit like a jump board or a spring that you have then to go in different directions of where you want to go.

It's like you lay the foundation business-wise of, okay, I've, I've completed this, I've contributed to this book, that book, the other book, you know, um, perhaps if I wanted to speak on something, you can reference back to the story that you wrote in the book that, that used that particular topic, you know, that's, that's quite handy and, um, great to have and nobody can ever take your book away from you or your story you know it's like it's there and it is archived it will be for future generations you know how lovely you know to to have that so Yes, I agree with Vida with the visibility and future opportunities, future opportunities.

And also, I think I believe that some people can take you a little bit more serious than.

when they can see that actually you have wrote this book or contributed, you know, like you've become an international bestseller, you know, that you've gone through that process, you know, and people in the field know that, they get that.

So, you know, they're more likely then maybe to invite you to something then, which just really helps your work as well, you know.

And what I also find is that, you know, all our lightworkers, you know, us helping other people with whatever unique niches we have, we all get to do what we do through some happening, through some story.

But as we actually give our message, we actually share our story anyway with our audience.

We tell about our experiences, we tell about our hardships, we tell about our vulnerable moments.

Yes, there are people, as Vida said earlier, who only wrote my little posts about how fantastic life is and all their beautiful achievements.

But the audiences that serious coaches look for are those ones that actually want to read deeper.

They want to see what you're about, you know, not just the beautiful, shiny little window dressing, but what's happening behind the scenes.

And I think contributing a chapter in a multi-author book or write your solo book, that is where they find that.

So my point is actually people who are afraid or have some kind of block against becoming an author, you know, against yes, but now, you know, that visibility, you're sharing your story anyway.

Because in social media, what I found is we can write the most amazing post But the moment you hit that send or post button, there are 10,000 other stories.
