The question is: How is the book, the product and the business strategy?” “What I've noticed with traditional publishing is it takes so long for the book to be released that by the time it releases you are sort of like ‘I was into that a year and a half ago, I'm not into that right now. I'm into the next book right now.''” “Who you become in the process of writing a book, you are not the same person.” “Your journey is the transformation that only you can lead and then the books you write are field guides, they are in service of that journey.” “Know what the upsell is and then sell it. Go sell it and see what people's real problems are. Now write that into the book.” “If you want to be known for anything, keep repeating yourself.” “People will ask questions at one level of investment, but they will not ask at another level of investment.” “Right now people don't have good leaders. A lot of people that could potentially lead won't learn sales.” Guest: Kate ODonnell Kate O'Donnell is an author, lecturer, and senior yoga teacher.
