Our guest is none other than Johnny B. Truant. One thing that I loved about sitting down with Johnny is how much he shared about his journey. Here is a spoiler: The road to a 7-figure publishing company was NOT easy. Not just because of the work. Anybody can do the work. But can you be diligent in the worst of times and keep moving forward?

Johnny B. Truant is co-owner of the Sterling & Stone Story Studio, an IP powerhouse focusing on books and adaptations for film and television. It's the best job in the world, and he spends his days creating cool stuff with partners Sean Platt and David W. Wright, as well as more than 20 gifted storytellers. Johnny is the bestselling author of over 100 books under various pen names, including the Fat Vampire and Invasion series. On the nonfiction side, he's also co-author of the indie publishing mainstay Write. Publish. Repeat. and co-host of the weekly Story Studio Podcast.

"Ultimately, the business that can spend the most to acquire a customer wins." - Dan Kennedy

The reason that so many businesses fail and why so many need to get funding to start is because they do not know how to acquire a customer profitably or even at breakeven, and they do not know where it is that they want to take the customer after that point.

Once you figure these two things out, you will be able to serve your clients at a much higher level and make more money doing so.

You have never heard of a tree only growing half as tall as it could. So why do people only live up to half of their full potential?

Here is the great dilemma of life. We can have more than we've got because we can become more than we are. We are all constantly creating the world around us and the people we ultimately become by the little things we do daily.

If you don't like where you are, the good news for you is that you can make the conscious choice now to construct a better future. What is the key to that better future? A better you.
