CarTalk with Kartik #319: Why Promising Book Projects Stall Why do promising book projects stall? That's the question one of my CEO clients and I recently discussed. As a 2X bestselling author featured on BBC TV & Times Square and named a Top Consultant of the Year by PMA, here's my take. Enthusiasm is not ownership. Five people can offer to help, yet everyone assumes someone else has Chapter 3. Suddenly, your manuscript has more passengers than drivers. A bestselling book needs one clear owner,

As a 2X bestselling author featured on BBC TV & Times Square and named a Top Consultant of the Year by PMA, here's my take. CEOs love big numbers. Add a percentage and suddenly everyone wants a pie chart. But numbers impress readers. Stories make them care. For example, 22 million pounds of rescued food sounds impressive
