My guest today is Joshua Lisec, a celebrity ghostwriter (and fellow Ohioan) who has ghostwritten over forty books for entrepreneurs, and he’s here today to share how side hustlers can turn their books into opportunity-attractors and money-makers for their business… all while slaying writer's block for life.

  • Joshua’s journey to becoming a celebrity ghostwriter, from charging just $1.67 an hour to being on track for a half-million dollars in revenue.
  • His secret to ending writer’s block.
  • Why you don’t need clarity on every aspect of your side hustle (and what to do instead).
  • How a book can help you grow your business.
  • Key things authors need on their websites.
  • How you can get people to buy your book.
  • Josua’s advice for how to get started as a ghostwriter.

My favorite quotes from Joshua:

  • “We all have to start somewhere, what matters is that you start.”
  • “I think of ghostwriting as acting in print. It’s my job to portray the authentic you on the page.”
  • Ask yourself “What problems do you like to solve?”
