Entrepreneurs need to be different and creative to become successful in business, and one of the traditional ways to get awareness from audience is to publish a book. Entrepreneurs should not think like a publisher or a writer, they should focus on more than just the book sales. Business sales do not come from book sales; they are from speaking seminars, spin-offs, boot camp and etc.

The business mind behind the business of publishing books is to create own reputation and get others to pay for everything. The average cost of cover, layout, editing and printing is about 4.5 thousand, and the average revenue is roughly over 33 thousand plus more.

There are 3 kinds of people:

• Wonder things happen
• Watch things happen
• Make things happen

Entrepreneurs are the one who make things happen.

Business looks for simplicity; therefore, a length of 100 pages per book is the most effective. It is important to not let money get ahead of business. Entrepreneurs should always put client value in front of everything.
