How Writing a Book Became the Gateway for Everything Else with Paul Peters

If you're thinking about writing an authority building book, and I really hope you are, and you don't want to be counting pennies or checking your book sales all the time, you actually want a book that's going to change your life, I can tell you how. Just go to sevenfigurebooks.com. I'm not trying to capture your email or anything. You can just download this PDF that's going to tell you exactly how to turn an authority building book into revenue, speaking, authority, and no exaggeration, a whole new life. 

Paul Peters’ second-grade teacher told him he'd never amount to anything and he believed her long enough to spend 14 years sitting on a message he knew he needed to write down.

Thankfully, he eventually realized she didn’t know what she was talking about and he wrote his first book in three months.

That was 2021. He's now up to book number 10, with four more on the way, and the book became what put him in proximity with Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, Brian Tracy and Joe Vitale (he co-authored a book with Canfield along the way). All of this compounded into a TV show, a novel headed toward a movie adaptation and a wife he met—and later proposed to—on his own show.

In addition to talking all about publishing, we spent this episode getting into the difference between intentional and unintentional mentors, why he believes most people fail at manifestation and why forgiveness was the piece that let him break a cycle of addiction and self-sabotage.

In this episode:

• How to earn access to mentors you admire without the relationship feeling transactional
• Why Paul never saw himself as a writer until after he'd already become one, and what that says about identity and success
• Why he believes most people fail at manifestation, and what has to happen internally before visualization actually works
• How writing his first book led him into rooms with Tony Robbins and Jack Canfield, and eventually onto stages of his own
