How Gandalf inspired my writing and my business

One present I received this Christmas was a box set of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.

I became obsessed with reading and writing this last year.

Before that I had read maybe 5 books in total (and never the full book) because a book assignment in school forced me to do so.

All of that changed this year.

I started out reading a lot of non-fiction business and self-improvement books.

But I quickly expanded to reading fiction as well. Starting with famous literary works such as A Farewell To Arms by Hemingway, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, 1984 by George Orwell, and many many more.

A few months later a friend of mine recommended me to read The Mistborn trilogy from Brandon Sanderson.

Little did I know that this would spiral me into the world of high fantasy.

I loved the genre so much.

It inspired me to start writing my own fantasy-themed Viking novel. And I’m even taking lessons from the genre as to how to run my business—as crazy as it sounds.

With all that said.

I simply had to pay homage to the founding father of high fantasy and read Tolkien’s works. Decades later and it’s still the most famous and well-loved fantasy series, making every other attempt almost look like a failed copycat.

One of the greatest facts I learned about the making of The Hobbit is how Tolkien didn’t have a clue where he was going with it.

Many people mistakenly assume Tolkien had everything planned out, knowing exactly what was about to happen.

And while some writers work that way.

Tolkien didn’t.

All Tolkien had was this idea of a few Hobbits living in a grassy plains area. He thought it’d be a nice, cozy, and fun story to read to his children as a bedtime story.

It’s only after C.S. Lewis—who was part of the same writer group—urged Tolkien to make the Hobbits go on an adventure outside of their homeplace, because it would be dreadfully boring otherwise, that Tolkien started coming up with any sort of real adventure on the spot as he was writing each page.

There wasn’t even a single mention of the famous ring until one of the final stages of writing when The Hobbit was almost finished.

Anyway.

This directly influenced how I work—both with my writing and in business.

I don’t plan out everything in advance. Which is also what I’m teaching in Product Creation Made Easy.

You start with a single topic idea/burning problem you want solved, then you immediately go on to validate it before even doing anything else. Next up is adding all the spices to it, such as the big idea, the unique mechanism, and actually turning it into an actual offer people want to get their hands on.

Here’s where most people would spend months perfecting it building out everything as they planned.

But not me.

And not you either.

Not anyone who cares about their speed of implementation, the amount of people they’ll be able to help, and the amount of profit they’ll make from it.

Nono, you immediately launch it as a product up for pre-purchase—just like I’m showing you right now. (I’m essentially proving to you just how good it works so you know just how much value you’re getting)

Only then, once it’s up for purchase—which has many benefits I won’t get into now—will you work on creating and finishing the actual product in less than 7 days using the simple method I teach even a 10-year-old could follow.

Anyway, there’s already so much I revealed in this email.
