Joe Polish argues you already have a book if you've taught anything: your online courses, workshops, or coaching sessions contain enough material to repurpose. Publishers like Hay House want books that show real-world results from methods that actually work.

But anyone that has, like an online course, let's say you have a book ready. You just have to take that. Of course, the way you talk and the way you write are different. You have to convert that. If you can do a weekend workshop so, like, you're a great speaker, you can do a weekend workshop. You can easily. You have a book right there for sure, because that's like 15 hours of content. That's more than enough for a whole entire book. Like, especially if you talk the whole time. But if you just do exercises and stuff, that might not be enough, but you get the idea. And then anyone who works one on one with people and does things like that, you have the knowledge for the book. Because you know what works and doesn't work. And that's what we love, like at Hay House, too, is people that are out there working with people. Like, people that are around doing different things, changing things, seeing how it affects them. Those are the best books because it's not just your philosophy, but you see that people put it into practice.
