BLAKE'S STORY...
Every business owner and founder has a story, and Blake’s journey from a directionless uni student to a bestselling author, book coach and entrepreneur began in 2016
Blake's Journey
→ Took six years to complete a three-year degree, graduating with a 51% pass mark. Despite loving business, he found university frustrating and unfulfilling.
→ Initially aimed for a corporate career, but quickly realised he craved more than a 9-to-5 routine.
→ Developed a fascination with productivity and habit-building, leading him to write about human performance, boxing, and skill development.
→ Writing became more than just a passion—it was an outlet for self-doubt and pressure, helping him navigate personal challenges.
→ Inspired by his writing, he started his first book, The 6 Pillars of a Rewarding Life, but faced three years of setbacks, mindset struggles, and self-doubt.
→ Committed to finishing, he rewrote the entire book in six months using a structured approach.
→ In November 2022, the book debuted at #13 on the bestseller charts, alongside 12 Rules for Life and The Resilience Project.
Building Success
Proving his method worked, Blake published Evolve Your Skills—a bestseller released just six months after The 6 Pillars of a Rewarding Life (April 2023).
His journey expanded beyond writing—he evolved from an author to a book coach and publisher, helping others turn their expertise into powerful books.
His latest book, Publish to Impact, became a bestseller in Business Writing, solidifying the foundation for his Idea to Impact experience.
Idea to Impact teaches business owners how to turn their knowledge into books that generate income beyond just royalties, positioning a book as a business asset.
In just 18 months, Blake:
→ Published three books (two bestsellers)
→ Launched the Idea to Impact podcast
→ Built Idea To Impact from the ground up
→ Started Impact Group Publishing
→ Transformed his books into keynote presentations
→ Spoke at prestigious universities
→ Did all this while working full-time, proposing to his fiancée, travelling Europe, and boxing.
With 3,000+ books sold, Blake’s mission is now bigger—helping business owners turn their ideas into powerful books that create real success.
Idea to Impact isn’t just about writing—it’s a transformative experience that aligns learning, growth, and skill development with each author’s unique vision.
He brings business owners and experts together, guiding them from idea to published book, ensuring they balance personal and professional success.
The Impact Group Publishing goal? To empower 250 business owners to become best selling authors in their industry.
OUR VALUES
We're in a fast-paced, ever-changing world. But there's one thing at our core we believe should never slow down: The power of human connection. Your book deserves to be written, and at the heart of Blake de Vos and Idea To Impact is a deeply human-centred focus, not just on the book you publish, but on the ongoing influence your message has on others.
We value the author behind the book and the ripple effect of their words long after the final page is turned. Because to us, the true impact of a book lies in the stories it continues to inspire and the lives it continues to touch.
