“It’s not about the book. It’s about who you become in the process of writing and publishing that book,” says Chandler Bolt, the founder, and CEO of Self-Publishing School and SelfPublishing.com. After dropping out of college and writing and publishing his own books, Chandler realized a strong need for people to learn how to self-publish. Now, Chandler helps his clients follow their dreams by giving them the tools to become published authors.

Chandler has always had an interest in starting his own business. While studying at the College of Charleston, Chandler could not help but notice that his professors were not business owners themselves. Chandler then dropped out of college and founded his own business. He has learned so much about what it means to be a successful entrepreneur from experience as the CEO of Self-Publishing School. A life-long learner, Chandler recognizes that owning a business can force you to self-improve so your clients receive the products they deserve.

Tune into this week’s episode of Move Forward Anyway for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship. Learn how Chandler started Self-Publishing School, how entrepreneurship motivates self-improvement and the importance of understanding what drives your work.

Quotes

• “Until you have sales, you don’t have a business; you have a business idea.” (7:59 – 8:03)
