The first time a reader asked for more

You Must Write a Book came just a year after I'd written Prosperity for Writers.

Something cool happened after I published that book--a reader emailed me and said,

"I wish this book had a place to do the exercises."

I was teaching a course of the same name, and everyone in the beta of that course echoed a workbook or journal would be helpful.

Sometimes the best ideas are what I call "throwaway suggestions." Even if you can't turn that idea into gold immediately, jot it down and save it for later.

That one suggestion planted a seed and changed how I looked at book content forever.

I'll talk about that a bit more tomorrow! Until then,

Honorée Corder.
Author. Executive Book Producer.

Seven Master...

Reading time: < 30 seconds Super big nerd alert: In 2004, I was attending a conference and I met the Mark Victor Hansen. Now our conversation changed my life, apparently I didn't make an impression. As luck would have it, I did a book with Joe Polish (who is close friends with MVH). I got to FaceTime with him and he was psyched our encounter made a difference. As an aside, always be nice. People might be telling others of their encounter with you a couple of decades from now. Make sure they...

Reading time: < 30 seconds One book was an income stream. Scratch that--one book was two income streams (at first): book and ebook. A book and a workbook--well, now we're talking four income streams. Now with the availability of POD (print on demand) hardcover and easily accessible audiobooks, each book and companion is four income streams, each! So a book and a companion product (workbook, journal, companion guide, to name three) can be a package, a system, a reason for readers to come back....
