Confession: I Don't Write Books
You might not know this about my process, but I outsource a lot of the work that goes into creating a book...and thatโs intentional. I approach books with a publisher mindset, not an โI need my name on everythingโ mindset. My time matters, and for many projects, I hire ghostwriters and publish under pen names. Iโm not trying to be a public expert on every topic I publish inโIโm focused on building assets. Outsourcing does cost money, and itโs always a choice, not a requirement. It depends entirely on your goals. Iโve worked with ghostwriters, cover designers, narrators and professional formatters depending on the project and timeline. That said, hereโs the part I think matters most ๐ Before you outsource anything, you should learn every step of the process. I can do 100% of it myself if I need to. ๐ And because of that, I know: - Which parts I donโt enjoy - Which parts take me way too long - Which parts are better left to professionals for a more polished result That clarity only comes after youโve done the work at least once. So Iโm curiousโฆ If budget wasnโt a factor, what part of the book process would you outsource first? ๐ Drop it below ๐
