We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Parul Agrawal. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Parul below.

Parul, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?

After completing my first book, “Juicing for Healthier Families,” I faced numerous challenges in finding a publisher. Despite reaching out to many agents, publishers, and hybrid publishing companies, I encountered repeated setbacks. After six months of waiting and thousands of dollars spent with no results, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Drawing on my background as an Electrical Engineer and Material Scientist, I immersed myself in the entire process of publishing and marketing a book. My efforts were rewarded when my book became an International Bestseller in multiple categories on Amazon, receiving numerous accolades. As more people sought my advice on book publishing, I realized that authors often feel lost despite the wealth of online information and need personalized guidance. Motivated by my own experiences and the desire to help others avoid similar struggles, I ventured into the industry as a book publishing consultant. I created a system that ensures authors feel supported and worry-free throughout their publishing journey.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I am a World Record Holder Book Publishing Consultant, an Engineer by education, and an Entrepreneur by passion. As an International Bestselling Author, TEDx Speaker, and former contributor for Entrepreneur and Forbes, I bring a wealth of experience to my work. With two master’s degrees in Engineering from Arizona State University (ASU), I have worked as a Research Scientist at ASU and an Intern Engineer for Intel Corporation. Despite the allure of a stable corporate career, my entrepreneurial spirit led me to the dynamic world of online business.

My dedication to family well-being inspired me to write Juicing for Healthier Families, a book I published in 2015 while holding my baby in my arms. The book quickly became an International Bestseller and an Amazon Hot New Release in multiple categories. Today, I am the founder of ParulAgrawal.com, an international publishing platform dedicated to empowering authentic leadership. My company has helped over 400 writers achieve Bestselling Author status and supports authors and businesses in branding, tribe-building, and establishing expert authority in their fields.

I have been featured in major publications such as the Huffington Post, Thrive Global, and Forbes, and have appeared as a guest on ABC Arizona. In 2018, I was honored to be listed as one of the 30 Change-Makers of India. As a business leader, I combine a love for technology with a deep commitment to people, earning a reputation for being tough on problems while remaining kind and approachable.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Being authentic and honest about my services and deliverables has significantly contributed to my success. From the outset, I prioritize transparency, ensuring that authors have realistic expectations about the process, timelines, and potential outcomes. By setting clear and achievable goals, I establish a foundation of trust and mutual understanding. This upfront honesty not only prevents misunderstandings but also builds a strong rapport with my clients.

Moreover, I am committed to ensuring that my services consistently meet or exceed clients’ expectations. This dedication to quality and client satisfaction has earned me the respect and loyalty of those I work with. By delivering exceptional results and maintaining open communication throughout the engagement, I have cultivated long-term relationships and a stellar reputation in the industry.

My clients know they can rely on me for honest advice, high-quality service, and unwavering support. This approach has been instrumental in my growth and success, as it fosters trust and encourages positive word-of-mouth referrals. I believe that by being straightforward and honest from the beginning, I not only help clients achieve their goals but also build a strong, positive reputation for myself and my business.

Additionally, this strategy of authenticity and reliability differentiates me from others in the field, highlighting my commitment to integrity and excellence. It underscores my belief that success is not just about delivering results but about how those results are achieved. Through this commitment to honesty and quality, I aim to build lasting, meaningful relationships that contribute to the ongoing success of my clients and my business.

Any advice for managing a team?

I have a small, dedicated team of people with whom I work regularly. The foundation of our collaboration is mutual trust and respect. My team trusts me to handle payments and ensure they are compensated fairly and on time. In turn, I trust them to deliver high-quality work and meet our project deadlines. This reciprocal trust creates a positive and productive working environment where everyone is motivated to contribute their best.

By fostering this atmosphere of reliability and accountability, we can work efficiently and effectively. Each team member knows their role and responsibilities, and they are committed to maintaining the high standards we have set. This mutual trust not only enhances our productivity but also strengthens our team cohesion, allowing us to tackle challenges and achieve our goals together.

Our strong working relationship is built on open communication, clear expectations, and a shared commitment to excellence. We support each other, share feedback constructively, and celebrate our successes together. This collaborative spirit is at the heart of our success and is something I value deeply.

I believe that this trust-based approach is crucial for any team’s success. It enables us to work seamlessly, innovate, and consistently deliver outstanding results for our clients. By continuing to nurture this trust and respect, we ensure that our team remains strong, motivated, and aligned with our mission and values.
