Key takeaways:
- Do not wait till your book is published to bring their message to the world, that’s the most important conceptual bit and inspirational bit. (2:00)
- Start calling yourself the forthcoming author of such and such a book, even if you don’t have the title yet. Leverage that right out of the gate to get your conversations, to get you speaking gigs, and all of that kind of stuff. (19:00)
- Think of the kind of message that you potentially want to get there, the kind of collaboration that you want to create with people, and the kind of impact you want to make. (19:28)
- Make sure to have conversations with great past clients, great current clients, and great potential new clients or partners about your book. (22:46)
