About this ebook
How to Launch Your Book like a "Lean" Startup Company
You won't find this anywhere else.
"What is the fastest way I can get my book done?" I pondered the question a minute. There is all this extravagant education out there on writing a book, filled with hundreds of things to do. But the truth is, you do 20% of the work for 80% of the result (The Pareto Principle).
How does one accomplish this? By streamlining all the tasks down to the minimum requirements, and focusing on those.
The Author Startup is a process to create a minimum viable product for your book. It is used to get your book out there and build momentum for you.
In The Author Startup, you will:
- Learn the Boogie Board Approach for publishing
- Use concepts similar to The Lean Startup for your book
- Learn the exact tools I used to create and publish a book in 26 days
- Find out how to defeat the "Imposter Syndrome"
- Receive a complete Action Plan that will change your approach and attitude for publishing your book
The book contains links to an entire action plan, including video demos. Don't wait to start your book, learn the quickest way to get it published now!

INTRODUCTION
I was sitting on the couch at home thinking. What if I had to write a book as soon as possible? What if I had a friend who needed to do that? What would I tell him or her?
The truth was, I had enough going on. I was creating my Free Author Mini Course, to help aspiring writers. I was also recording the audiobook version of my recent bestseller, Author Your Success. Then there was the sequel to Author Your Success, called Launch Your Success: The Ultimate Guide to Building Launch Teams, Organizing Promos and Scheduling a Best-Seller Book Launch.
That was plenty.
As an avid reader, I had also slowly begun evolving to the point where I stopped buying Kindle books that were too long (like more than 40 pages), and I knew other readers were doing that as well.
So there I was, deciding to chase that next shiny object and write a short Kindle book. It would be a book that gave no choices, told you exactly what to do to get your book done and published on Amazon and that is all.
Here is the thing. Focusing on being published first is what you should do too. I have taken many courses and seen many students get bogged down in the details. Others look at the list of things you should
