How to Fast Write a Book and Make a Fortune 263 We thought we could change the price and make more and better information available to millions and potentially billions of readers. We said we could instantly have our books serving people in 70 languages and in 120 countries the 昀椀rst day they are available. We would tithe 10 percent of our earnings to causes that we believe in, a practice that Mark launched with the Chicken Soup series. Ultimately, we would “昀椀ve- and six- sense” our books so they would get to the readers in the way they want to absorb the information: as text, audio, or video—even olfactorily or by feeling. We respectfully want to push the edge of your envelope. We want to end illiteracy, poverty, and “have- notness,” and we intend to solve many of the world’s problems with great information and world- improving ideas. Our idea is visionary, and as coauthors we want to inspire you to your greatest writing and thinking. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “I would rather see a ser- mon than hear one any day.” As a result of our coauthoring partnership, we wrote 100 books in 95 days, a feat that has never been achieved in the publishing industry anywhere on earth, and we had a tremendous amount of fun doing it! We hope you SEE our vision, dream, and thinking and are moved to self- reliance and to writing action.
