Sometimes writing a book is "free therapy"...especially if you're writing about tough life experiences like divorce, loss, or painful events from the past. Today I'm joined by Dave Hollis author of "Built Through Courage" and his upcoming Children's Book "Here's To Your Dreams".
In this interview we talk about:
-How Dave has used books to launch his brand and to better understand himself
-Writing real and raw books as therapy post divorce or other painful events (reflections and lessons learned)
-Why high expectations are extremely dangerous as an author & how to manage expectations around your launch
-Why Dave and his daughter decided to write a children’s book
-How to outline a create children’s book (Dave’s method)
-How marketing and selling a children’s book is different from traditional non-fiction
I loved the real and raw reflections in this episode. Listen and let me know what you think!
