1048. A Day in the Life: What's It Really Like to Be an Editor and Publisher?

When the financial crisis hit in 2007, I owned a real estate and mortgage company and we were doing close to $100 million a year in transactions. Within a year our transactions fell to zero. I decided to pivot into financial services because with my experience I could help a lot of people in need. I asked a couple of experienced friends of mine what they would do if they were in my position of trying to reposition yourself in a brand new field. They each said the same thing: Write a book. I had zero experience and made a ton of mistakes, but I finished the book and it became number one on Amazon. That notoriety got me radio and TV interviews and speaking engagements and was the primary catalyst for relaunching my career. Nothing gives you credibility like a book does.”
