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 that’s intentional.
I approach books with a publisher mindset, not an “I need my name on everything” mindset. My time matters, and for many projects, I hire ghostwriters and publish under pen names. I’m not trying to be a public expert on every topic I publish in—I’m focused on building assets.
Outsourcing does cost money, and it’s always a choice, not a requirement. It depends entirely on your goals. I’ve worked with ghostwriters, cover designers, narrators and professional formatters depending on the project and timeline.
That said, here’s the part I think matters most 👇
Before you outsource anything, you should learn every step of the process.
I can do 100% of it myself if I need to.
👉 And because of that, I know:
  • Which parts I don’t 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 you’ve done the work at least once.
So I’m curious…
If budget wasn’t a factor, what part of the book process would you outsource first? 👀
