After going through several years of business school, some of the best advice I can give you is something I wish someone would have told me before I started in this wondrous world of writing and publishing — and business building.

The fact of the matter is when I first started my writing business I only wanted to write what I wanted to write about — and I was expecting readers to just start busting down the doors to read what I had written.

Truth be told, the old saying “If you build it, they will come” is nothing more than a myth. You see, it doesn’t take having to go to Wharton or Harvard Business school, and earning your MBA, to learn what I’m about to tell you.

Here are 8+ years of business school crammed into one sentence: The key to building and growing a prosperous business is by finding a hot market, asking them what they want, and then giving it to them. It’s that simple!
