Listen "Shaan Patel: How to Make a Book Pay for Itself"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Author Hour, Shaan Patel—entrepreneur, founder, and Shark Tank alum—shares how writing a book became a strategic asset for building authority, driving growth, and supporting a larger business system. Shaan breaks down why he approached his book with intention, how publishing fits into a long-term business strategy, and what most authors get wrong when they treat a book as an end goal instead of a tool. Drawing from his experience pitching on Shark Tank and scaling a successful company, Shaan explains how a well-positioned book can create credibility, open doors, and generate real ROI. This conversation is essential for entrepreneurs, founders, and aspiring authors who want to use a book to grow their business, strengthen their brand, and make their ideas work harder over time.
