He'll outline the steps you'll need to take to produce professional-looking books, as well as share resources of trusted freelancers and vendors to help you edit, design, and format your work.

​

Please note: this is something that will require regular coaching and consulting calls and mini 360-degree feedback sessions to allow for review of progress and overall effectiveness of each coaching and consulting session.
