Are You a “Best-Kept” Secret?
Too many writers and consultants are best-kept secrets. It doesn't matter if they publish fiction, nonfiction, or show their consulting expertise through their writing.
These people cannot seem to find a large enough audience to make the difference they want to make in the world.
Too often, these people write more–aside from their books or articles–to attract buyers. That's good, but not sufficient.

The result? Not enough return for the money.
