Quotes: “A book can be the cornerstone of your content. From one book, you can create thousands of pieces of marketing.” “Self-publishing should really be called DIY publishing—because unless you hire experts, you're trying to learn plumbing, electricity, and construction all at once.” “Most authors think, ‘I wrote my book, I'm done.' But that's when the real work begins—marketing, leveraging, and selling.” “Confidence is the biggest barrier. Even presidents of NFL teams wonder, ‘What if my book sucks?'” “In business, in writing a book, there are ups and downs. It's like a Rubik's Cube—just keep moving the pieces until they line up."
