In today’s episode, Dr. Jen Barna talks with founder of Book Launchers, real estate investor, author and entrepreneur Julie Broad.

In this conversation, we hear all about Julie’s real estate investing experience and expertise. She shares her tips and mistakes to avoid. We also hear about her company, Book Launchers. She shares how a rejection from a traditional publisher set her on the path of learning everything she could about self publishing and successfully marketing a book.

Tune in to learn if real estate investing is right for you. Then find out if self-publishing is right for you, and how Book Launchers can help.

Her popular YouTube channel, BookLaunchers.TV, embodies the hashtag of #noboringbooks helping nonfiction authors write and market books people want to read. 

 

Julie’s titles include More than Cashflow, which topped Amazon, The New Brand You, and her latest book, Self-Publish & Succeed. A recognized real estate investor, successful entrepreneur, and notable speaker, Julie also received the Top 20 under 40 Award for her business and community contributions. She’s been speaking on stages across Canada and the US since 2009, sharing her strategies to write a book that builds your business and have more impact and influence with your brand.

 

An expert on writing a book with marketing in mind, Julie teaches the best approaches to get results, make an impact, and ultimately, make more money.

At DocWorking, our specialty is Coaching Physicians to achieve the best in life and medicine. 

 

Doctors devote their lives to caring for others. But does that mean they must sacrifice their own health and wellbeing? Absolutely not!

 

At DocWorking, we have developed a unique way to embrace it all.

 

The caring for others that you do so selflessly AND the caring for YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY that you crave in order to bring it all into the perfect balance specific to YOU.

 

What if we told you that you CAN have it all? The career you dreamed of when you decided to become a doctor AND the life outside of medicine that you desire?

Take Back Your Time: Get a Virtual Assistant

Working in the medical field is fulfilling but it can also be exhausting. Physicians often sacrifice their personal time to carry out their duties. They want to go on vacations, start passion projects, or start side businesses but finding the time seems impossible. Recently, more and more physicians are giving outsourcing a try. Outsourcing allows you to delegate tasks to virtual assistants so you can free up your time and finally do whatever it is you’ve been wanting to do.
