After successfully negotiating his own salary, Josh wrote a #1 bestselling book to help others learn his process. Soon after, he added video courses to help his students better implement the strategies. In this episode, Josh shares how he turned his book into an online course, why he still coaches clients, and what he's learned along the way. Having a visual component helps people to see in action the things written in my book Episode Quotes "I knew that I could learn a lot of valuable skills if I started learning how business actually works." "All I had to do was ask and they just gave me money for this job." "Creating the online course was a way to augment the book, but also to teach people who kind of think like me." "I definitely did design the book so that it's not necessarily meant to be completed." "I do this because I like helping people and it’s the best way to make a good living without having to go to a day job."
