“I know I need a book to build authority…
but I don’t have time to write a book.”
I didn’t rush to convince them.
I just asked a quieter question.
What if writing a book was… easy?
Not win-a-literary-award easy.
But why-did-I-make-this-so-complicated easy.
Here’s a 3-step, very human system you can steal 👇
Step 1: Find one person with a problem you already know how to solve.
A friend.
A client.
A former colleague.
Someone who says,
“I’m stuck with this.”
I am sure you already know plenty of them.
Ask for three one-hour conversations with them.
That’s it.
No writing yet.
No pressure.
Step 2: Let them talk. You solve. Hit record.
In the first session, ask them to explain the problem in painful detail.
Then walk them through your solution, step by step.
In the next sessions, talk about:
– What they implemented
– What worked
– What broke
– What new problems showed up
Record everything.
You’re not “writing a book.”
You’re documenting real-world problem-solving.
Step 3: Hand the transcripts to AI and say the magic words.
Feed the transcripts to AI and ask it to:
– Turn the conversations into a structured case study
– Extract the framework behind your thinking
– Disguise names and identifying details
Voilà.
You’re holding a book in your hands.
Not a theoretical book.
Not a fluffy one.
A battle-tested, credibility-building book based on real results.
So maybe the real problem isn’t time.
Maybe we’ve just been taught the hardest possible way to write books.
What if your next book didn’t start with a blank page…
but with a conversation?
Can you do that?
