These three lessons have helped me reach five #1 bestselling books.

They have helped me sell over 7,500 books.

And it has given me a vision to keep publishing books.

So, without further ado, let’s get into these lessons.

You need to spend money to make money.

You need to spend money on an editor, cover designer, and on book promotions. You don’t have to do it. But it’s a good idea.

However, with books after your first, it will compound on how much you can make.

Here’s my first book: Productivity Success
