Your First Book Shouldn't Take a Year.
🧩 I've noticed a pattern in this community. A lot of people join because they genuinely want to become an author... but many never actually start writing. So I'm curious... What's stopping you? Is it because writing a book feels overwhelming? Like there's just too much content to create? If that's you, I want to let you in on something. If you're already a coach, creator, consultant, business owner, or even someone who regularly shares your knowledge online, you're probably sitting on a goldmine of content already. βœ… Social media posts. βœ… Blog articles. βœ… Email Newsletters. βœ… Videos Lessons βœ… Podcast episodes. βœ… Presentations. Your client questions. You don't have to start from a blank page. In fact, one of the smartest ways to write a book is by repurposing the knowledge you've already created. This is also where AI becomes an incredible assistantβ€”not to write your book for you, but to help you organize everything you've already made. Upload your existing content, ask AI to identify common themes, group similar ideas together, and help build a logical chapter outline. Suddenly, that mountain of content becomes a clear roadmap. But here's something even more important... Mindset is everything. If you constantly tell yourself you'll write your book "someday," someday usually never comes. If you're serious about becoming an author, it's time to turn down the outside noise. Stop comparing yourself to other people. Stop waiting until you feel like an expert. Stop believing you need everything to be perfect before you begin. Every published author started with a blank page. The difference is they decided to keep going. And remember... publishing a book isn't just about selling copies. A book can open doors to speaking opportunities, coaching clients, consulting work, media interviews, partnerships, and opportunities you can't even predict today. It establishes credibility in a way few other assets can. So let me ask you... πŸ”₯ Are you fired up to finally make this happen?

@Krista Brea you have helped so many members become authors, and you offer so much value. This is a no-brainer.

πŸ“š Who do you know that has a book inside them? Maybe it's a friend, a family member, a business owner, a coach, or someone in another community you're part of. This community was built to help absolute beginners go from idea to published book. Inside the Premium level, I walk members through the entire process step by step, using mostly free and low-cost tools so they can create their first book without feeling overwhelmed. And here's a bonus: affiliate commissions are enabled. If someone you refer joins Premium or VIP, you can earn 40% recurring commissions for as long as they remain a member. If this community has helped you, taught you something new, or inspired you to finally start your book, I'd appreciate you sharing it with someone who could benefit too. You never knowβ€”your recommendation could be the thing that helps someone finally become an author. ✍️

What Brought You Here? πŸ‘‹
Lately, I've been putting more effort into making this community feel like a true community againβ€”not just a place to consume content, but a place where people connect, share ideas, and grow together. I'd love to hear your story. What originally brought you into this community? - Did someone refer you? - Did you discover me through YouTube? - Did you find us through the Skool network? - Were you looking for help publishing your first book? - Were you searching for ways to actually sell more books? - Are you a business owner looking to use a book to build authority and create another income stream? Sure, I can see some of the analytics, but numbers don't tell the whole story. I'd rather hear it directly from you. What was the moment, video, post, recommendation, or goal that made you decide to join? Drop a comment below and introduce yourself. I'd love to learn more about what brought you here and what you're hoping to accomplish. πŸš€πŸ“š

I like to be transparent about my earnings because I want you to see that creating an additional income stream is possibleβ€”even if you have a busy life. I still work a full-time job. I'm also a mom to a young child, and like many of you, I have a lot competing for my time. That's why I love self-publishing. Once a book is created, it can continue working for you long after you've finished writing it. πŸ“š Paperback & Ebook Results - Lifetime Royalties: $68,057.75 🎧 Audiobook Results - Audible doesn't make it easy to calculate lifetime earnings because I'd have to download and total every royalty statement individually. However, based on my historical average royalty earnings per sale under the previous royalty model, I've had nearly 17,000 audiobook sales/downloads, which puts my estimated audiobook royalties at roughly $60,000+. πŸ’΅ Combined Estimated Lifetime Earnings - Books (Paperback + Ebook): $68,057 - Audiobooks (Estimated): $60,000+ - Total: Over $128,000 in approximately 3 years Is that enough to replace my day job today? No. But has it helped create more financial freedom, additional income, and opportunities that wouldn't have existed otherwise? Absolutely. The biggest mistake I see people make is waiting for the "perfect" time to start. Every month you delay publishing is another month your future books aren't out there working for you. Imagine where you could be 1 year from now if you started today. What Book Earnings Milestone (PER MONTH) Do You Want to Hit?
