In this episode…
Alinka Rutkowska, a five times USA Today bestselling author, is originally from Poland and she recalls her first entrepreneurial venture in primary school there: putting together a school newspaper to compete with the existing paper she didn’t like. That likely signaled her ultimate future in books and authorship.
Though Alinka went through business school and worked in multinational corporations to great success, she ultimately returned to her founding passion of books and publishing. Today she is the CEO of Leaders Press which has 198 authors on the USA Today bestseller list. Alinka aligns her passion for entrepreneurship with her publishing savvy by largely launching and promoting books on business and publishing.
In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter and Alinka Rutkowska discuss how Alinka came to self-publish her first book and how its success allowed her to step away from the corporate world to start her business. She details exactly how her company, Leaders Press, assists entrepreneurs in taking their books from idea to bookstore success, why it’s important to tell your own story, how books are chosen to be on bestseller lists, and how lead generation from books works. You will want to hear Alinka’s story and the insights she has on how you could be an author.
