Go From No book to Published Author in as Little as 6 Months with Kevin Anderson Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Kevin Anderson is the founder, CEO, and Editor-in-Chief of Kevin Anderson & Associates, the industry leader in providing ghostwriting and editing services to publishers, agents, and authors.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. Hiring the right team can save you a lot of headache.

2. Writing the book is just the first part of it. You can write a great book, but if you don't publish it in a way that actually fulfills your goals for your business or your professional life, then all that writing could be wasted.

3. Every day, month, or year that you don't write a book, is a day, month, or year that you're not reaping the benefits of having that book. The earlier the book is out there, the more time you have to experience all the benefits.

Show notes

Mike Kim is a strategist for personal brands. He's consulted for thought leaders like John Maxwell and Donald Miller. He is the author of the book, You Are the Brand.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. Regardless of where you are on your entrepreneurial journey, we tend to see ourselves first through the lense of the organization or occupation that we work for, rather than really seeing that those skills are inherent to us.

2. Become the person you're trying to sell to people. Do the hardwork of it. Entrepreneurship has a funny way of bringing out the best in you but also revealing the roughest parts of you.

3. Share 3 simple stories that lead into the insighting incident. Your founding story which is how you got into the industry, your business story which is how your company started, and the customers story which are the story of your clients and testimonials.
