🧠26 questions. 200,000 people. 1 book.
My biggest investment.

Is it really worth writing a book in the age of TikTok and YouTube?
You can just type a few keywords and get what you need in 30 seconds.
Job done, right?
That's what I thought too, but after several years creating content, I realised it wasn't enough.
Every time I create content, I focus on one clear takeaway.
The problem after 3 years of content creation is that you end up with hundreds of pieces scattered everywhere.
I get brilliant feedback about how clear and helpful some pieces are. But when I publish a follow-up the next day or week, it barely gets noticed. And I can't help thinking: "They don't have the full picture."
My first attempt at fixing this was to create a free online course.
I posted on TikTok saying I was looking for 10 people to test it and give feedback. Within minutes: hundreds of people volunteered. I ended up picking 20 instead of 10.
Everyone started strong, but most never finished the course.
Looking back, I get why: it was too rigid, you had to go through everything in order, you couldn't just jump to what you actually needed.
Then last year, a publisher got in touch asking if I'd be interested in writing a book.
I was buzzing: I've always loved reading, and becoming an author has been a childhood dream.
But how do you make it genuinely useful? What goes where? How do you avoid writing something dull?
I rewrote the structure about ten times.
Then I was chatting to my 19-year-old brother, and he said:
"Oh wait, there's this book I'm reading and it's brilliant, each chapter is just a question, so I can read whatever I need."
Genius idea, little brother. I pitched it to my publisher and they loved it, since after publishing hundreds of posts on investing, I know exactly what questions people ask, from comments, DMs, and face-to-face chats.
After months of work, research, and rewrites, the book is finally done.
Is investing really for me? Is it actually guaranteed to work long-term? What are the best practices? Which mistakes should I avoid?
This book is the result of 3 years of content and 26 questions that keep coming up. It's something you can keep, scribble in, and come back to whenever you need it, so you can make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes with your investments.
The book is in French and comes out on 10 April.
You can pre-order it now on Amazon for €21:

(Not my style to sell €999 masterclasses)
Can't wait to hear what you think!
Take care,
