About this episode

80% of people say they want to write a book. Only 1% ever do. Chandler Bolt — founder of Self-Publishing School, author of 7 books, and the man behind $85M+ in revenue helping over 7,000 people publish in 91 countries — sits down with me to bust every excuse you've been telling yourself. We get into: → Why most people never write their book (and it's not time) → The #1 mistake writers make that kills their progress → How to write a rough draft in a single weekend → Why the NYT Bestseller list is a terrible goal → How to use your book as a lead generation machine → The 4 P's of a bestselling book (and a high-converting offer) → Dan Martell's book launch strategy broken down → Why "people who pay, pay attention" — and when to give it away for free → Chandler's live coaching on MY book launch (yes, I'm writing one) This one hit different. Chandler is one of the most practical, no-BS guests I've had, and if you've ever thought "I should write a book someday" — this episode will either light a fire under you or confirm what you already know. Plus — Chandler and I get personal about brothers, legacy, emotional vulnerability, and what it really means to leave something behind. 📞 Book a call with his team: selfpublishing.com/kassidy If this episode helped you, share it with one person who keeps saying "I should write a book someday." #KassidyWarren https://www.instagram.com/kassidy.warren https://www.linkedin.com/in/kassidywarren #ChandlerBolt https://www.instagram.com/realchandlerbolt/ Watch #ForYourOwnGood on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KassidyWarren keywords: book writing tips, how to write a book, self publishing, book launch strategy, publish a book, write your first book, book marketing, how to sell a book, self publishing secrets, book launch plan, passive income books, author tips, grow your business with a book, copywriting skills, book title ideas, audiobook strategy, content creation, entrepreneurship, lead generation, legacy building
