    In this episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming dives into the power of physician authorship and how writing a book can elevate your career as a healthcare entrepreneur. From building content-based trust to commanding higher fees for speaking and consulting, a book positions you as an authority in your field. Dr. Woo-Ming breaks down the myths—like needing a publisher or not having enough time—and shares how AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude have revolutionized the writing process, making it faster and more accessible.

    He also introduces his upcoming Physician Author Blueprint course, a three-day intensive to help physicians create a book framework, leverage AI, and explore publication pathways. Whether you’re aiming to attract patients, land speaking gigs, or create digital products, this episode is packed with insights to get you started.

    Three Actionable Takeaways:

    1. Define Your Book’s Foundation Early – Identify your target audience and unique angle before writing to ensure your book resonates and stands out. Use your clinical or nonclinical experiences to craft a compelling narrative.

    2. Leverage AI for Faster Writing – Use AI tools like ChatGPT to overcome writer’s block, generate outlines, and create content efficiently, cutting down the time needed to complete your manuscript.

    3. Self-Publish for Control and Profit – Opt for self-publishing platforms like Amazon to retain creative control and maximize revenue, avoiding the need for traditional publishers.
