A Day In The Life Of A Business Owner At Self Publishing Center
Erik spends a significant portion of time "meeting with authors" to assess potential collaborations for book writing and publishing, and also guides current clients through the production, publishing, and launch phases. Speaking engagements, though not actively pursued, are also part of the routine, with requests to speak to communities about business or publishing being fulfilled "from time to time as well."

**Q3: Day in the life**
My day-to-day involves meetings with potential authors to discuss whether it's a good match to work with me to publish their book. I help them get their book written and published.
I also receive public speaking requests from time to time. I don't actively look for them anymore, but I do accept them if they come up. I recently spent a week in Seattle doing some speaking engagements.
Sometimes people ask me to come and talk to a community about business or publishing. I do that from time to time as well.
A big majority of my day is spent meeting with authors about the potential of working with them. Then, I work with people on how to produce, publish, and do a book launch for their books.
