“Don’t aspire to eventually write the book,” we say. “START with the book.”

And by everything, we mean EVERYTHING.

At the same time, there’s not— for the most part— a lot of money to be made in books.

Unless you leverage the book to make a bigger impact, that is. With the right strategy in place, you can use the book to clarify your message, communicate it clearly, and connect to the people you’re called to serve in a more precise (and greater!) way.

We talk about HOW to begin doing all of this here…

👉 Use the book as a “next best step” for people— as a way to take them from a conversation and initial interest to a more thorough intro to your framework.

💥 Provide your reader with a clear “call to action” in the book— to go further with you.
