I'm watching Day 1 of Success Summit. Julie mentions the connection between intellectual property and building one's empire. What if one has written a book, his first (and to date, only), for hire? How might one use that book? (In my case the publisher and I are on good terms.) It's almost 20 years old, still in print and #704 in Kabbalah and Mysticism on Amazon. Thank you for your comment.

I have two examples: 1. Born to Run — Christopher McDougall There’s a section where he’s on his third doctor visit trying to solve his foot pain. He watches a video of himself running on a treadmill and describes it as “Frankenstein’s monster trying to tango.” That line instantly made him feel human to me and I was hooked until the end. 2. Stolen Focus — Johann Hari I can’t even quote a specific line anymore, but the way he broke down what tech companies are doing to steal our attention just clicked. When I finished the book, I spent days deep-diving his website, reading all his recommended resources, and signed up for his newsletter. Both authors are wildly successful, but the connection I felt wasn’t about their size or status, it was about how they were real, and relatable. I’d love to hear your experiences... What was a time you truly resonated with an author? And then flip it - How could you create moments like that for your readers? Answering this will help you build those lasting connections that are so essential to having success as an author. And if you are writing a book, or you have a social media account, you have the tools to make it happen right now.

Hello everyone i am new here i hope i am in the right place i also needs a support

@Julie Broad in one of your YouTube videos you said that pull quotes are falling out of favor. Curious why people don’t like them. I tend to use them and have always liked them, but maybe I am an outlier. Is it pull quotes specifically or sidebars in general. What I like about them is that when you are faced with a page full of text you can very quickly see some of the key points. I can see them being less valuable for the e-book format but for print I really like them. I’m looking at interior design options right now and I had pull quotes as one of the design elements I would use. Thanks!

Does anyone know when the 2nd edition version of "Self-Publish and Succeed" is supposed to ship out to us if we purchased it for the summit?
