Tips:

I am a great starter and a great finisher. I needed to find a co-author who was a great middler.
Working with a co-author gives you a sense of accountability. You know who does what and when.
It’s important to have an audio book because executives like to listen when they drive. It’s an amazing way to learn things.
Have a clear vision of what you and your co-author are creating together. Create an outline that shows who needs to do research.
Find comparable books you want to model your book on – format, size, length, how many chapters, what works and what would make the reader want to continue reading.
Find a co-author you know, like, and trust.
Find a co-author who is different than you. I find the funny side of things. I needed to find someone who could give it weight.
