There's something unique about your perspective or the lens you use to look at the world. And this is vital today because you're now competing with AI that can write a book. But AI doesn't have personal experience or opinions without a human giving it to them. So you must have this before you can write a book that will sell. Your perspective should be strong enough and different enough that people will go, I thought I was the only one.

So I'm saying that you're not ready until you can clearly identify what opinion or personal experience you're going to share for that audience that needs your message today. That's your secret ingredient.
