How do I take my blog and turn it into a great book concept? I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Chad Allen and ask that very question.

Chad is the Editorial Director for Baker Books and has personally worked with hundreds of authors over the past 15 years. He has the keen ability to see and know what makes for a great book concept.

Statistics tell us that more than 80% of  people surveyed would love to write and publish a book in their lifetime. I'm sure the percentage is even higher among a community of bloggers.

It starts by having a great book concept.

Did you know there are hidden challenges you often do not see when pursuing self employment? In this episode, Jonathan interviews Kevin Miller from Free Agent Uprising. They discuss some of the surprising challenges entrepreneurs face that they hadn't expected when starting out. 

A few questions they discuss include: 

1. What are a few of the biggest struggles people face when pursuing self employment?

2. Many aspiring entrepreneurs want to jump right to the “how” and then they find themselves struggling later. You take a different approach. Can you explain a bit why addressing your personal perspective and mindset comes first?

3. One of the things I admire about you is how important family is to you. You have 7 kids! Why is it important that you bring your spouse along in the journey?

4. One of your goals is to create a movement toward free agency. Can you talk a bit about the series you are doing on “how they made their first dollar”?

5. I’ve been a member now for over a year in Free Agent Uprising. Can you give the Blogging Your Passion audience a little more detail about what you get as a member?
