Tips:

  • A book helps people understand how I think. This creates credibility.
  • What keeps me going is “I have purpose.”
  • To have the right thesis you have to be clear about both your business purpose and your personal purpose.
  • Rejection from publishers is not personal; it’s about their business model. Find new ways to bring your book to life.
  • What information supports your big idea? Turn that into a story.
  • Marketing starts when you conceive the book.
  • You have to continually challenge your assumptions. You are looking for answers. Expect to be surprised when you find them.
