Quotes:

“The one thing I would say, it is so important to have a coach, a consultant, an agency, a firm, whatever it is, it’s so important to have someone come along the ride and to help with that, because I spun my wheels quite a bit when I was left on my own. And so having you guys alongside is super important for authors.” (04:46)

“I’m not a professional author. There was never a grandiose idea that I was going to make my living off of writing and selling books. It was really to get a lot of my knowledge around finance out into the world.” (07:32)

“A lot of authors, business authors like me are really doing this to be able to hand this book to somebody when I’m speaking at a conference or whatever, because it’s not so much the money of selling the book. That’s great. That’s gravy. But a lot of times I’m handing this to people and that’s a great point because it would be nice to have that, be easy to be able to.” (11:35)
