Listener Question: Should I Write a New Book or Re-Launch the Old One?

Paul Colligan has written 13 books, is in the Podcasting Hall of Fame and has helped Donald Miller, Brendan Burchard, JJ Virgin and Joe Polish turn podcasting into what he calls a “grown-up business strategy” instead of a hobby. He also sent me a question I love: when you already have a working book, how do you know if it’s time to write a new one or keep leveraging the one you’ve got?

Quotes by Anna David (?)

“Cat people, you see, don't just have cats; they're somewhere between somewhat and fully obsessed with those cats. You can identify cat people sometimes by the fact that their friends can't help but know the names of their cats for the simple reason that cat people are always telling stories about these cats.”
― Anna David, Animal Attraction

“What I'm trying to tell you is this: cat people-ness is contagious. If you're not careful, they can turn you out as one of them.”
