Welcome to the Self Publishing School podcast. This is the podcast to listen to if you're an

aspiring writer or an author who wants to be more successful. On this show, you'll learn how to

write and launch a book successfully, all from the top authors and people just like you

who are doing it at the highest level. I'm your host, Chandler Bolt, the founder

of self-publishing school, the author of the book called Published and the CEO of self-publishing.com.

Hey, Chandler Bolt here and joining me today is Dean Graziosi.

Dean's a multiple time New York, New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur,

real estate expert, speaker.

You may have heard of his most recent book called Millionaire Success Habits. You may have heard of his podcast by the same title. You may have, like me, seen his ads pretty much everywhere all over Facebook.

You may have seen infomercials or heard of the knowledge business blueprint that him and

Tony Robbins launched. In this interview, we're going to be

talking about how to use books to build a knowledge-based business and how he's done that. So,

Dean, really great to have you here. Good to be here, Chandler. Pleasure to be here, man.

I've heard nothing but great things. So let's, listen, I know that if you're listening right now,

there's a million things you

could be doing. Lots of podcasts, lots of distractions. You're with us. I don't take that lightly, so

we're going to rock the house here. All right. Let's do it. So I love for you to start by kind of

taking me back a little bit to your first book, which I search. I couldn't even tell how many

books you've written at this point because it looks like there's ones that go way back. But why and how did you write your first book?

Yeah, so I'd love to say that that was my passion and dream my whole life to write a book.
