How is your book helping others?

I wrote this book as an honest and practical handbook for business-owning parents.

I work with thousands of business parents through my online memberships and courses and so often they struggle with guilt, productivity, and realising their dream of family flexibility.

I wanted to help people:
1. Deal with mindset issues around their ‘why’ and parent guilt
2. Get really honest about their time and how to avoid setting themselves up for failure
3. Dig into money hangups and implement practical money growth and savings strategies
4. Work on communication with partners and kids – turning the business into a family friend rather than a time-stealing enemy
5. Look after themselves, avoid burnout and stop putting themselves last

This book tells the truth about what it really takes for parents just to run a successful business, make decent money and avoid burning yourself to a frazzle in the process

How is your book helping others?

I wrote this to help people stop exchanging their time for money, and instead build a lucrative, high-profit digital business doing what they know and love.

Inspired by my own experience of making millions through automated digital passive income products such as courses, digital downloads, memberships and masterminds, I’ve written it as a step-by-step guide on turning skills and services into one-to-many profitable products.

In it, I walk readers through positioning, processes, pricing and profile building, explaining the tech, the marketing, the sales tactics and how to keep customers coming back for more.

Creating passive income through digital products is an amazing way to earn a living. It’s given me freedom, community, a creative outlet and a nice lifestyle. But it does take work and patience. I believe anyone can achieve the entrepreneurial dream of making money in their sleep, and this book spills the secrets on exactly how.

Author:

Justine Nicolle McLean

How is your book helping others?

The book was written to address a significant gap in financial literacy among small business owners, particularly women.

Having personally experienced the challenges of managing business finances without proper guidance, I wanted to create a resource that demystifies business finance and makes it accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. The main purpose of the book is to help business owners understand that financial management is not as daunting as it may seem and that by focusing on their numbers, even in the smallest way, they can create a profitable and sustainable business.

The book breaks down complex financial concepts into simple, actionable steps, helping readers to understand their profit and loss statements, improve cash flow, and ultimately take control of their financial destiny.

The overarching message is that everyone has the potential to run a successful business if they pay attention to the numbers.

Maggie Michaels DeCan

How is your book helping others?

Maggie DeCan’s book is not just a memoir; it's a leadership guide for those seeking to make a difference in their organizations while staying true to themselves. DeCan leverages her decades of experience in both corporate and nonprofit leadership to provide invaluable insights for women navigating their careers. DeCan embraces authenticity, turning her struggles into powerful lessons in leadership that she shares with readers in a humor-filled, accessible style. Through her "scar-based leadership" approach, DeCan encourages leaders to embrace their imperfections and vulnerabilities. In a culture where authenticity is highly valued, she emphasizes that trying to be perfect is not only outdated but exhausting—especially for women. People desire realness in their leaders. When leaders share their “scars, warts, and imperfections,” it fosters an environment of openness and connection. “Scar-based leadership is the key to creating real relationships in work and life,” DeCan writes.
