Let me tell you what this book is doing here.

I spent the better part of a year on it, and it costs 399 rupees, which is roughly what it takes to print a copy and post it to you.

Yes, I'm aware of the irony. A book arguing that you shouldn't compete on price, priced like that.

Here's the honest answer.

The book isn't the product. It's how you find out whether I'm worth listening to.

I run a small premium programme called Alpha Club, capped at 108 people. Alpha Club is what paid for the months this took to write. And a book that people trust does more for it than any advertisement I could buy.

Most of the people who read this will never work with me. It was built to be worth their time anyway.

That's the whole method, running on itself, in your hands. Be useful in public, at length, before anybody owes you anything. Give away the best of what you know. Let the trust do the selling while you get on with the work.

You're welcome to watch it work.

Deepak Kanakaraju

You're good. They're louder. They're winning.

There are two kinds of expert. One is brilliant at the craft and quietly certain that being brilliant is enough. The other isn't especially good, but is comfortable doing things the first would find embarrassing. You already know which one gets the premium clients.

You've probably decided the answer is to be seen more. It isn't. Being seen and being trusted are two completely different projects, and only one of them lets you raise your price. This book is about the second one.
