![]() Once I had refined the initial idea, I reached out to a former employee of mine, Zach Obront. Take us through the process of designing, prototyping, and manufacturing your first product. Not having a deep understanding of that was a big weakness of mine at the beginning.Īnd thus, the very first seeds of Scribe Media were planted. They’re not just buying what you think you’re selling, they’re buying a solution to a problem. You have to really understand who your customer is. When I called Melissa back to tell her about the idea, she was on board with the concept, provided that we could ensure it was her words and her ideas in the book. Socrates and Buddha and Jesus got their words into books by talking. Writing isn’t the only way you can get an author’s ideas out of their head and into a book. It wasn’t until I actually stopped thinking about it that I finally found the solution: talking! I ended up obsessing over our conversation for weeks, but I couldn’t get past the idea that it was impossible to write a book without actually putting in the time to write it. But I couldn’t think up any solution to the problem she posed. And I was clearly (and embarrassingly) very wrong. Can you solve my problem, or are you just going to lecture me about hard work?” Melissa: “You’re an entrepreneur, correct? I’m an entrepreneur too, and the most important thing I do is solve problems. Melissa is bright, successful and has accomplished many amazing things, so when I gave her my usual response, she straight-up called me out. But Melissa Gonzalez – the entrepreneur who asked me the question that day – was different. To be honest, I often looked down on the laziness of people who thought they could just get a book without putting any of the efforts in. It was my standard response to get out of the conversation as quickly as possible. Typically, I’d tell people that writing the book is not an optional part of the process and that they can’t have their own book without actually doing the work to write it. I’m a writer (I’ve written four New York Times Bestsellers), and thus I used to hear some variation of this question on a nearly daily basis. ![]() “I want a book, but I don’t have the time to write it, and the normal publishing process is too frustrating. It all began with a simple question from a frustrated entrepreneur: What's your backstory and how did you come up with the idea? And even better, we solve their problem in a way that’s easier, cheaper and more effective than any other potential solution. Scribe does that-there are so many people who really want to turn their idea into a book, but they just don’t have the time, ability, or patience to do it the traditional way. ![]() Yes, making money is great, but in this case, the money is only the proof of what matters in a new start-up: that we’re creating real value for real people, by solving their real problems. Honestly, what’s been really cool to me is how excited people are about their books.
