Rintu Basu on Chaos to Creation Confessions: I accidentally wrote a bestselling book
SHOW NOTES
Find out how Rintu accidentally wrote a bestseller
Why you should create something for people to solve the problem they struggle with the most...
Rintu wrote and gave away, for free, a 10 week course on NLP
He was only one week ahead of the course participants
JIT product creation: make sure it's fit for purpose by incorporating on the fly feedback
Rintu: It's my responsibility to give people the stuff they need to do their jobs - for free
I have a tendency to think I'm naturally creative... I can give this course away... there are more problems to solve and I can create another course
After writing and delivering the 10 week course he realised he had all the material for a book... but would people buy it?
People wanted the material in other modes, he was able to upcycle his material and turn it into a book
Play to your strengths, I'm a creator, I create. Make the statement, even if you don't believe it yet.
Expand your skills to accommodate your identity
Are you suffering from an identity constraint?
I went from not believing I was an author to realizing that the only thing that was stopping me was the physical tippety tappety of typing it all out
The biggest issue for me is letting go of my baby: I look for collaborators, and then I remove myself from the process
I was creating the course just one week ahead of the people reading it - that was a huge motivator. It let me incorporate feedback. I loved it.
Get the details of Rintu's bestseller plan and how he made the bestseller charts from an audience of just 6000
Rintu created a group of true fans who bought his book even though they'd seen the content on the course.
Add value all through the pipeline
I am a problem solver: If I don't have a problem to solve I don't do anything
I create stuff, systems, processes: I came up with a way to create 70 articles in a day... find out how
In the future Rintu wants to write a series of fiction books - and he'll use a system to write them
Look out for Rintu's hilarious memoirs... and how he's been looking at himself as a character in a book, wondering what his motivation was for his actions...
I asked myself: how do I make this interesting, how do I make it funny?
