How to Write a Book with Nick Soleyn

How to Write a Book: Developing an Idea

Not everyone should write a book, but likely some people who should never do.

Matt had burning ideas that he had been developing for years and decades, and the opportunity arose and he seized it.

Before this, remember, he had been writing articles, recording podcasts, and discussing things on YouTube for years if not decades.

Start getting your idea out there. Talk about it, write about it, share it with people. Get feedback. Don’t expect to go from idea to book.

Some ideas should just be a podcast or article. Some ideas are books.

Similar to how Matt would recommend starting a business, don’t go from nothing to book, but start organically developing the idea. You may eventually publish or self-publish a book.

Nick recommends this needing to be important to you and your values divorced from its success. You have to want to get this idea out there and see the benefit in developing the idea.
