Birgit Itse Mentorship Programme

Stories about how someone has overcome a life challenge or discovered their true calling can be found in the memoir section of a bookshop. These stories are inspiring and timeless. Knowledge on how to start in a particular field (as an entrepreneur) or refine your skills falls under manuals or more broadly, business books. Although seemingly different genres, there are many similarities in writing them.

The mentorship programme is practical and focuses on the skills and knowledge needed to write an inspiring memoir or convey your professional expertise.

Among these skills are creativity, critical thinking, written self-expression, including storytelling, working with additional materials, editing your text, attention to detail, as well as book marketing and finding (additional) funding. In addition to personal guidance, work is also done individually, supported by additional materials and a writing partner. Each webinar focuses on a specific topic.

Who Is It For?

The programme offers valuable support and development primarily for those with a specific writing project (manuscript/book-length training programme).

However, joining is also open to those without a Big Idea yet, but who want to develop foundational skills and habits associated with creative and writing like a human.

Why?

Your knowledge and skills are valuable. They have the power to help others improve their lives, fulfill their dreams. Your written story inspires others, helps them overcome life challenges, and find the strength to move forward.

It’s time to stop procrastinating and take action.

Why Write a Book At All?

Credibility

You’re seen as an expert. As long as you operate within your field, you’re an entrepreneur. A book has the magic to transform you from a regular entrepreneur into a valued expert. As an author of a book, you become an authority, publicly demonstrating deep knowledge and experience in your field.

Effective marketing

A book is also an opportunity to attract new customers. It allows you to reach people you wouldn’t otherwise and boost sales for your courses, services, and products. Additionally, a book can open doors to additional income streams: guest speaking, workshops, etc.

More valuable contacts

As an author of a book, you immediately connect with other experts in your field, with whom you can exchange ideas. This, in turn, creates fertile ground for new collaboration opportunities and partnerships.

Personal and professional development

Writing a book forces you to systematically put your thoughts and experiences into words. It may also spark a desire to further your knowledge, providing greater clarity.

More loyal customers

A book helps strengthen and warm relationships with existing customers, as it enhances your credibility as an author and entrepreneur.

Stronger brand

Your unique experiences are an opportunity to share your (company’s) mission and grow your reputation. Journalists often seek experts for interviews or references.
