Bookology: Book. Brand. Business. With Dr. Fred Jones

This week we have a very special guest on the podcast: the Bookologist, Dr. Fred Jones.

Dr. Jones is a fascinating man who I greatly admire. He’s an author, a lawyer, a professor, and a coach. He helps entrepreneurs write their books, build their brands, and construct profitable businesses based on the core elements of their book.

His story is remarkable, as is his use of clarifying, memorable, and edifying language. I’ve rarely heard someone so full of unique tweetables.

Tune in to my conversation with Dr. Fred to learn…

  • ([7:30]) How he discovered the world of self-publishing. It was a passion project one of his 13 siblings encouraged him to undertake as a gift for their father.
  • ([9:30]) The harsh and seemingly unfair statement from his eighth-grade teacher that completely turned his life around. Luckily for him, she saw more in him that he saw in himself and wasn’t afraid to bring that to his attention.
  • ([10:45]) How each of his 7 books went on to become #1 Amazon bestsellers. Several of them even became #1 bestsellers in multiple categories thanks to the self-publishing secrets he discovered.
  • ([13:40]) The real purpose of an Amazon bestseller. HINT: It’s not the money, because there isn’t much. It has much more to do with this important type of perception.
  • ([15:10]) What he and his 13 siblings have done every Saturday morning for the past 11 years without fail. They’ve even organized a board that oversees these weekly gatherings to ensure that what they’re doing is done properly.
  • ([18:35]) How he helps his clients see the value in their struggles and scars. He describes their true meaning and purpose.
