Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation

A “shook” is a great way to bring people information they seek in a shorter, much easier way. A shook can be consumed in roughly an hour and, by design, is not meant to be something that contains every single piece of knowledge available. This short-form approach can give people a great introduction to your expertise while, at the same time, establishing you as an authority in your space
A Call To Action is important to any book so readers know what to do next. Many authors forget this important step and it’s hard to keep people in your orbit if you don’t guide them on their journey with you
Don’t get wrapped up in “content perfection.” There’s no such thing as a perfect book. Start thinking of your book on the level of “if I don’t finish this, less people are going to be impacted by my message.” Redirecting your energy will help you overcome trying to be perfect and, instead, put you in the mindset of serving your audience
