AOA 143 | JG Francouer | Publish Your Book And Catapult Your Career

JG Francouer is the CEO of Black Card Books, which gives free writing and publishing workshops all over the world to help people publish their books so that they can build wealth.

A “Product of the product”, JG is the author of Messy Manager, and got started as an author after attending a publishing workshop by Gerry Robert – the founder of Black Card.

JG talks us through the massive amount of leverage you can create for yourself in terms of increased consulting, coaching, and speaking fees from writing a book.

In essence, “You become a local celebrity”. A book gives you credibility in your field, and JG shares six ways that we can write a book with content we already have (like blog posts, podcasts, or webinars)

In this episode you will learn the best reasons to write a book and how it can boost your career, but not in the way you might think!
