Favorite Quotes
“A book is like an entry ticket to so many opportunities: podcast interviews, keynote speaking, and other media opportunities. It’s just so much easier to get in the door for the kind of things that you want to do when you have this credibility anchor of a book.”
“The most profound internal benefit is simply the journey of writing a book. Most of us don’t spend five full minutes in silence a day, let alone an hour or two hours. That experience of being in your own thoughts, striving for clarity, striving to teach and share in a really clear and compelling way, and putting in that effort to push for that clarity is one of the most profound things that most people will go through.”
“Don’t worry about over-delivering value in a book. Keep more focused on what your one reader needs at the place that they are in their journey and write a book that is in and of itself powerful, profound, transformative, meaningful mindset shifting”
