WRITE FOR OTHERS, NOT FOR YOU.

Three Steps to Writing Your Book

There are a lot of smart, accomplished people in our audience.

You know things that are valuable to others.

Youโ€™ve got great businesses.

Youโ€™re ready to share that knowledge with the world.

But figuring out where to start can be overwhelming.

For this 5-Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Tucker Max where he shared his three steps to starting your book.

Tucker Max is a NYTimes Best-selling Author who was named one of Time Magazineโ€™s 100 Most Influential in 2009. He invented the genre โ€œfratire,โ€ and his number one bestseller, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, was made into a major motion picture. Tucker is the co-founder of Scribe, a company that turns ideas into books.

He says that before you sit down and start typing, you should first hone in on who youโ€™re writing for and what youโ€™re writing.
