Written by JJ Barnes
I interviewed Rob Cross about his life and career, what inspired him to write his new book, Flip Your Thinking: To Ignite Your World, and how his book helps readers to question their perspectives.
Tell me a bit about who you are.
I’m Rob Cross. My wife Franca and I live in the cozy town of Sugar Land, Texas. I’m an award-winning independent filmmaker by trade. These days I’m sold out to my passion and purpose of telling the world about THE FLIP! I’m a speaker, life coach, author, and a blurter of common sense.
When did you first WANT to write a book?
When my wife Franca told me one too many times, “You must write a book about all this!”
When did you take a step to start writing?
The moment I realized this was my life calling.
How long did it take you to complete your first book from the first idea to release?
About two years.
How long did it take you to complete your latest book from the first idea to release?
Less than one year.
Focusing on your latest release. What made you want to write Flip Your Thinking?
Most of the focus has been on my first release, “Flip Your Thinking.” It has caused quite a stir among media as well as among readers. My message had to be told. We’ve been doing much of life upside-down, pushing away must of the life we want. It’s a message I couldn’t keep to myself.
What were your biggest challenges with writing Flip Your Thinking?
Taking the leap to start. Believing that I had value to add to the world.
What was your research process for Flip Your Thinking?
My content is largely from years of asking the why-not questions and studying my mentors in Jim Rohn, Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, and others. Those insights are coupled with my knack for telling stories and whittling things down to common sense.
How did you plan the structure of Flip Your Thinking?
Personal preferences and insights, after adhering to the industry’s standards.
Did you get support with editing, and how much editing did Flip Your Thinking need?
Much editing with a half dozen editors.
What is the first piece of writing advice you would give to anyone inspired to write a book?
I believe we each have a book within. Of course, most don’t know this and most do nothing with it. If you sense that book within AND it burns, write your book! You owe it to the world. Yours is not to hold and hide but to share and impact.
Can you give me a hint about any further books you’re planning to write?
My first two books are Flip Your Thinking and Flip Your Mornings. Coming out next is Flip Your Marriage.
And, finally, are you proud of your accomplishment? Was it worth the effort?
Let’s say I feel fulfilled and rewarded. Is it worth it? It’s what I’m here to do so, of course, it’s worth it. Much more to come!
