But imagine being able to sell your products when others cannot, being able to take market share from your competitors, and knowing the precise formulas that would allow you to expand your sales while others make excuses.

There used to be two teams in every workplace: management and labor. Now there’s a third team, the linchpins. These people invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos. They figure out what to do when there’s no rule book. They delight and challenge their customers and peers. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art.

The holistic way to approach being a modern author
The book is about authors being very customer/reader focused. It examines the desired values of the modern author and emphasises the things to do 'after' the book has been published. It's about customer service and lifestyle balance. Can be a bit repetitive in places, though some points need to be reiterated. If you are an author with good content and adopt these philosophies you are on the right path to success.

Good for business writers
A good approach to life for authors who are using their books to advertise themselves and their other business. Not as useful for full time authors. More of an “approach to life as a business author” book. Not what I was expecting or hoping for, but still good info.
