What makes a book a bestseller?

I was asked a question last week about how I define success for my book writing programs.

The reason the answer made me so excited was that the answer has changed.

Truthfully, my answer to this question a few years ago was very dangerous, even though I didn't realize it at the time.

If you have a similarly dangerous perspective (without realizing it) when it comes to your book, your program, your product, or your service, this episode is an invitation to reconsider so you can have MORE confidence and excitement about how you're sharing your value with the world.
