Brian: If you were talking to someone that's never written a book before, they're looking to stand out more and become more well known.
What do you think are the main advantages of writing a book?
Bob: Well, I think there's a couple of things.
Number one, writing a book really establishes you as an expert.
Quite often, it's like a ticket, right? It's like, it's, I wrote another book called, The Best Business Card On The Planet. It literally opens doors for you.
So, you know, to be interviewed on podcasts and things like that. I guess it's a little bit easier these days, but getting interviewed for television or radio, like they wouldn't even pick up the phone unless you had a book like, you're an expert, where's your book?
So I think even though the publishing industry has changed, to some extent, and a lot of books are self-published, I think it's still an amazing positioning tool to be able to put yourself in a book like that.
And I think the other thing it really does is it forces you to really focus in on what are my superpowers?
I'm not going to go write a book about Google display ads or Google Search these days, I can write a book about Facebook because I do it day in and day out.
I'm helping my business partner write a book on getting videos that sell because that's what we do day in and day out.
Putting your knowledge and your superpower into a written format is really powerful for you, the entrepreneur, it helps you really understand like, I do know this stuff, right?
It's a validation for you.
But to be able to communicate it effectively write a narrative around it, tell stories about it. It really just solidifies your foundation as an entrepreneur as an expert as a credible person.
And I still think it's one of the best steps you can take no, you don't have to write a 350-page book that entrepreneur press publishes. You can write 125 pages, 150 page book, you know, 20 25,000 words, maybe even less, that helps establish you.
I think it's reachable for anybody that's serious about serving clients or setting themselves up as an expert.
