Positive on Publishing


Jun 30, 2020

In this episode, you’ll learn the importance of your why, how to get started on writing a book, and how to boost your credibility.

Our guest is Mitchell Levy, a parallel entrepreneur and author of over 60 books.

The six “fun nuggets” from this interview are:

#1: A great idea for a book is a controversial topic or idea.

#2: Follow-through is one of the most difficult obstacles for authors.

#3: Know your why. The “10 Whys” that I mention in the interview comes from Module Three, Lesson One in one of my courses on publishing. The lesson is called “Identify Your Why”. Here is a screenshot of the “Why as your weapon (to help you decide, based on your why, which way to publish).

#4: The best place to start is to just START.

#5: Know the difference between being a serial entrepreneur and being a parallel entrepreneur.

#6: A good business plan (like what we follow in the Lean Launch model) starts with customer discovery and customer needs.
