Summary
I am very passionate about entrepreneurship and love sharing my thoughts on social media. I previously wrote "Social Media for Entrepreneurs" and then "Things Entrepreneurs Say" but now it is time to do a bigger book focused on the journey of an entrepreneur:
- Interviews with a select group of founders
- Insight into how they started, mistakes along the way and lessons
- Framework for decision-making and recommended books, as well as why
This book is for the person facing the tough journey or contemplating it. Learn from the mistakes others so that you can make new ones instead. This is not a book written by a White American guy either so expect it to be far more focused on the reality of building a business as a minority.
What We Need & What You Get
The details:
- The book is going to be published no matter what
- Many of you want perks for being early adopters/supporters
- I want to also give back to charity and pay it forward
- That means perks like signed copies, a free 1-hour consultation with me, a live speaking event and even hanging out with me at either Walt Disney World or in Jamaica (your choice!)
The Impact
Your contribution is an indication of support as a pre-order as well as a way to get some quality time with me to help you with your own journey:
- Not enough people have mentors that they can be open with
- Two books previously published and positive reviews
- Thousands of people with positive things to say from interactions with me
Risks & Challenges
As a transparent person, I must say that this project is one of the low-risk ones that I have done because I oversee the execution and I get my books done. The biggest challenge is actually publishing and shipping the physical books, which is not such a big deal. The bigger challenge will be if a publishing house offers me a book deal for the book and then I would have to organize a transfer of your pre-orders, but then that would also be so awesome to have supported a book that got picked up before it was released!
- Previously published and printed books
- Any publisher will be made aware of the pre-orders if they actually offer a deal
Other Ways You Can Help
If you cannot contribute, that doesn't mean you can't help:
- Get the word out and make some noise about the campaign
- Use the Indiegogo share tools!
- Tell a friend
Looking forward to this campaign!
