Ryan Levesque

To be honest, the original reason why I wanted to write the book was to have the world's best business card, right?

There's no better business card to hand somebody than a business card in the form of a book.

And I told that to someone that I met who ended up becoming my editor.

And I told her my personal story.

Her name is Karen Anderson.

She good?

Do you recommend her?

She is amazing.

Okay.

And she was the one who convinced me to write the entire first half of the book, which is my personal story.

Now, what's interesting about that is it's the most polarizing part of the book because people either love it or hate it.

There are people who write to me, they write, you know, handwritten letters to me and say, Ryan, I'm so glad that you poured yourself out like that because it was very vulnerable and it made me believe that I can do what I want to do.

Let me be the hater.

That's it.

It's totally true.

And that's what basically every one star review of my book on Amazon says the same thing.

The whole first part of the book was the self-aggrandizing, who does this guy think he is, hot shit, total waste of my money, waste of my time.

Every one-star review says that.

And what people don't realize, and I'm fine with that, because I've learned that, and if you write a book, if you're thinking about writing a book, you're gonna have haters, right?

And what I've learned, and there's this amazing quote that I saw on Facebook, and it's, I don't really care if people hate me or not, because most people hate themselves.
