I always wanted to write a book and I remember back in elementary school I was really into reading and thinking that writing a book was a monumental achievement for smart people and I wanted to do it.
I created my signature course, Unf*ck Your Biz and when I launched that I thought it would also be super fun to turn it into a book. Originally I thought I would wait for a couple years, but after interviewing Denise Duffield Thomas on my podcast, she suggested I start writing it now since I already had the material.
Once I extracted all the material I had already written in my signature course textbook, I was sitting around 30-35,000 words and started cutting out, writing, and editing from that baseline, which was what allowed me to write my book in 6 weeks. Before I started writing anything from scratch, I combed through my blog posts and podcast shownotes for additional content.
The book starts out with what I feel everyone should have learned about taxes in a high school class. Throughout the book I give examples based on different circumstances, for example, if you are an entrepreneur saving for taxes but are also married and filing jointly or separately.
One of my goals has always been to get into stage speaking at events, and my goal with the book was to help me get further towards that goal.
The main goal of the book is to help business owners get out of the feeling-stuck cycles they're in and take ownership of the CEO role of their business. It's super important to take ownership, even if you're the only one in your business, so you can grow.
