Everyone thinks success means being wealthy. But there are actually 5 types of wealth: time, social, mental, physical, and financial. Read this book to learn about all five and how to achieve them.

2) "The Expectation Effect" by @d_a_robson

Think of this book as the science behind visualization or manifestation. In it, the author explains how our beliefs shape our reality. A must-read for anyone interested in psychology, neuroscience, or mindset.

Over the past few months I've been fortunate to meet 50+ amazing authors.

This includes NYT bestsellers, authors who've sold 1+ million books, and authors who've made millions of dollars from their books.

Here are 10 key lessons I've learned from them: Image

1) The BEST Way To Sell Books Changes Every 10 Years

In the 2000s, it was newspapers and magazines.

In 2010s, it was popular blogs and TV shows.

In 2020s, it's podcasts and social media.

Now it's TikTok shop and newsletters.
2) Test EVERYTHING

Writing a bestseller isn't luck, it's calculated.

James Clear tested 300 (!) different book covers for "Atomic Habits".

Take the time to test the title, subtitle, and cover with FB ads or Pickfu.

A small change can help sell 10x or 100x more books.
