10 years

200–300 pages

A best-selling book

The next thing is to set a published date in their mind, give it a stop, making the target moving like it's something I'm going to do someday and draw a line in the sand and say this is when my book is going to come out and then work backwards from there to produce a professionally done book.
I think it's really important too because you can distill 10 years of a life into 200, 300 pages and then you get the benefit as a reader of all that that's provided. It's put together in a way that's palatable and people can actually get through it and take away the takeaways.

Against rushing, taking the cheap and easy way out, not thinking about where the book fits strategically into their business, thinking short term. So I want a best selling book is not the correct ANSW.
