They think the goal is to SELL their book. But the real opportunity is to LICENSE their book. That is a completely different mindset. And it changes how you think about your words. START HERE When you publish a book, you have created a WRITING. That writing is not just content. It is INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. And intellectual property can be LICENSED.
