Summary: In this episode I have the privilege of interviewing Derek Olsen, who is the author of The Four-Week Financial Turnaround. I was on the Launch Team for this book and had a blast. Derek took the time to put together a great product that has helped many people. While the focus of that book is personal finance, he is turning his attention to self-publishing in his upcoming book From Your Head to Your Hands: How to Write, Publish and Launch Your Book. This will be a free eBook that is available at HisPlusHersEqualsOurs.com. In our interview, Derek shares lots of great insight and info about creating and launching a new product. If you want to write and publish a book, create and launch or product, or complete some other kind of creative project, you will be blessed! What You'll Learn in This Episode Derek's story and how he began launching products. How he took the first steps in writing a book. The biggest challenges you will face in writing and launching a book. Why getting feedback from readers is very helpful, and how to do it. The great things that launching a product has done for his personal brand.
