Choose Your Path To Published
By the time you're reading this, the question isn't whether you should write a book. You already know the answer to that. The question is which path makes sense for what you're trying to build. This is the part most experts get stuck on. They confuse the decision...

Books That Work for You

You Don’t Need More Experience
Look at the experts getting the keynotes, the podcast features, the premium clients, the media calls. Look closely. They are not, as a rule, more experienced than the people watching from the sidelines. They are not more credentialed. They have not been at it longer...

It’s July. Where’s Your Book?
Half the year is gone. Pull out the list you made in January. The goals. The new revenue lines. The brand moves. The book you said you'd finally write this year. How much of that actually happened? If the book is still sitting there in the “someday” column, you're in...
“I’m Not a Writer” Is the Wrong Worry
Almost every expert who considers writing a book says the same thing. "But I'm not a writer." It feels honest. It feels like a reason to wait. And it is the wrong question entirely. The right question is not "Am I a writer?" The right question is "Do I have a story...

Your Story Is Not a Memoir. It Is a Business Asset.

Why a book no longer takes a year
“I don't have time to write a book.” That sentence used to be true. In 2014, writing a book was an eighteen-month project that included a year of evenings, a stack of false starts, and a manuscript that got rewritten twice. Most experts who tried it quit. The ones who...
Your Book Isn’t Content—It’s a Conversion Tool

The Cost of Being Invisible

Your book already exists. It just needs to be assembled.
Most experts kill the idea of writing a book on the same sentence: “I wouldn't even know what to write about.” Here's the truth they're missing. They've already written it. Three or four times over. They just haven't realized they've been doing it for years. If you've...
