My today's guest is Jesse Krieger and he am a guy who loves traveling the world, learning languages and cultures, making friends along the way and starting businesses.


Jesse love it so much that he wrote a book called Lifestyle Entrepreneur: Live Your Dreams, Ignite Your Passions, and Run Your Business from Anywhere In The World, which became a bestseller.


In this interview we talk about the different opportunities that books may bring with them and discuss what it takes to have a full time author career and become lifestyle entrepreneur.


Takeaways


You have to grow a lot as a person in order to grow your business.


The book became the doorway to all the possibilities to make money that are related to the book.


Your book is your hook.


There is no excuse to not have a success with your book if you're willing to put in the work and show up consistently and put in effort.


If you are published author you still have to promote your book as a publisher's job isn't to market it.


If you wanna be author as full time career you have to realize that a large part of it is doing marketing.


Nobody loves being sold but everybody loves to buy.


It's probably 20-30% writing and 80-70% marketing to make career out of it.


Embrace the marketing and don't think of it as marketing, think of it as sharing the ideas of your book with different people in different ways.


Create experience that people want to be part of.
