Housel: Selling 10M copies of a book is almost completely unrepeatable
“And the truth is if you sell ten million copies of a book, it's probably not repeatable unless you're like J.K. Rowling. It's just not repeatable.”

Insight
Housel: Books are like seed startups and tail-driven, usually failing despite talent
“All books are basically a seed stage startup in the sense of even if you do everything right, and it's run by talented people and well-funded, it's probably going to fail. That's most of the case. Books are a tail-driven business.”
