#032 - Alex Ivanov - Produce Publish Promote - 7 steps to publish a book
Alex is a published author, teacher on Udemy, public speaker, business coach and SW engineer. He used to be a shy SW engineer but has learned through reading, public speaking and coaching to overcome his shy personality. For the last 45 days he is changing his life and wants to bring more of his learnings to the world. To do so he is about to launch his new website and create more content on video and in book format and lately offering in person coaching to his portfolio.
3 Words to describe him: Charismatic, Driven, Authentic
Colour Red: Representing power. A power that he feels now but hasn’t felt as a kid.
Secrets not many know about. One is that both his parents are Chess Champions in the US. As far as he knows no one has both parents with the trophy. The second one is him being a pool shark. He loves to play in bars and meet and connect with people over a game of pool. Especially beating the local heroes and surprising them. His biggest and fondest memory playing pool is the time that he announced a difficult shot and made it. That earned him a lot of applause and a night of free drinks
3 Pool playing tips:
Creativity:
Alex considers himself a creative but not before his mid 30’s. There he learned Mind Mapping Mastery by Barry Mapp on Udemy.com. He uses Mind Maps for e.g. presentations, To-Do lists, book planning... The more he practiced the faster the good results show up.
Creativity Killer:
Number one is too much stress. A little stress is good but too much is bad. Alex is focusing on things that bring him joy to reduce his stress.
His signature Class on the “7 Step process for how to become a published author” for busy people
Advice:
He wished that he started reading earlier than at the age of 27. Use your library, it's a cheap way of learning. And if you want to read more, listen to audiobooks instead of music on your commute.
