About the course
Got an idea for a business book but you overwhelmed about where to begin? Don’t feel bad. Many others feel the same way. In the souped-up version of my original 2019 course, I explain how to move from idea to outline to manuscript to final product. Oh, and I’ll tell you the questions that you’ll need to answer.
