JG talks us through the massive amount of leverage you can create for yourself in terms of increased consulting, coaching, and speaking fees from writing a book.
In essence, "You become a local celebrity". A book gives you credibility in your field, and JG shares six ways that we can write a book with content we already have (like blog posts, podcasts, or webinars)
