From College Dropout to 8-Figure Entrepeneur | Chandler Bolt
About this episode
Today’s guest is Chandler Bolt, founder of SelfPublishing.com
That’s the company that helped Cody publish Retire by 30 and hit bestseller status in three categories within 16 hours of launch.
Chandler dropped out of college with three months of runway, moved across the country to live with his mentor, and was a millionaire by 21.
Today, he’s built an 8-figure business that has helped over 7,000 people publish their books.
His latest book alone generated roughly $7 million in revenue over the past year. He still drives his 2004 Nissan Altima.
In this episode, you’ll hear Chandler explain:
- The mindset behind his financial decisions
- Why he kept his expenses near zero even as his income exploded
- How he thinks about delayed gratification
- The investment mistakes he’s made along the way
- Why a book is one of the highest-leverage things an entrepreneur can do
- How self-publishing differs from traditional publishing
- Why the most valuable thing you can do this week is spend 15 minutes mind-mapping your book idea
And much more!
Whether you’re thinking about writing a book or just want to hear how someone compounds money and opportunity at an unusual pace, this one’s worth your time.
