You Write A Book For 3 Reasons

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

Okay, so you write a book for three reasons, one of three reasons: I want to get rich, I want to get famous, or I want to get something off my chest, right. So most of the people I believe you're working with are trying to get rich or trying to get famous. Some might be writing something to get off their chest, but I suspect that's probably not the case. I want to get rich meaning not just from the book, but I want to use this to catapult my next part of my career, or I want to be famous. I'm using it as a brand building opportunity. Is that fair to say that it probably falls in those two, three? 

Yeah, I would agree. 

Okay, so there you go. So they're likely not 100 years old, they're likely not over 70. What is their age group likely? I'll give you a hint. The average age of an entrepreneur's 42 years old.

I was just gonna say about 45. 

There you go. So who are you really talking to? You're talking to that group right in their, in their 40s looking to, you know, start to grow their thought leadership, right? They've gone to their 20s and 30s. They've done all the hard work. And now they're looking to take advantage of that experience and wisdom and start to help others and scale and expand their business. So I might–now again, somebody at 60 years old comes to you and says I want to get something off my chest. God bless them, take them all day long. But if you nail that group who's trying to get rich, trying to get famous, you'll get the I want to get something off my chest.
