Secrets to Self-Publishing Sucess with Taylor Pearson

Taylor Pearson is the innovative mind behind ‘The End of Jobs’, a new book that focuses on the rise of entrepreneurship and why it’s a better career choice for today. Taylor doesn’t consider his path from software developer to self-published author a complete transition. Instead, he’s always thought of his career and life in terms of trajectory, always improving and accelerating to the next level. That’s not to say that he wasn’t a little bit nervous about putting pen to paper! But, he’d prepared himself and felt reasonably confident enough to go ahead and give it a try. Turns out, he’s pretty great at it. Taking inspiration from the book, ‘The 12 Week Year’, Taylor spent only 9 months on ‘The End of Jobs’, and it has been incredibly successful, quickly rising to the top of Amazon’s business category. Despite the book’s title, it is not a blueprint on how to immediately quit your ‘day job’ and start your own business. Instead, the premise of the book looks at the four distinct economic phases that the West has experienced and why entrepreneurship is such a great choice. It’s more of a thought process rather than an ‘action list’. So many of us have been trained to follow certain professional scripts but entrepreneurship puts you in charge of writing your own script. That means everyone from the established business owner to the employee can embody the principles of entrepreneurship; it’s about a creativity mindset, a new way of thinking about work and a new view way of viewing the world. Taylor and I sit down today to chat about lessons he learned during his book launch and how becoming an author has opened new doors for him and broadened his view on what is possible. Many of us have an internal force, a resistance, that holds us back from ourselves. Going to war with that resistance, driving ourselves forward every day, is BOLD!
