Mindy Gibbins-Klein and I talk about finding your business idea in unexpected directions, the importance of peer support (for your staff, for your authors and especially for you as the person running the business), and how to balance the need to plan for the future with the need to respond to what's happening now.

Mindy runs Panoma Press and The Book Midwife, helping people to find their best message and turn it into a great book. She came from a corporate marketing background and moved into helping people publish books as a result of her own experience writing books.

In this episode, we discuss some of the networks Mindy has used to get support from other business leaders: Vistage; the Academy for Chief Executives; and MD2MD.
