One of the biggest reasons many of us joined this Skool community is because we’re committed to learning, growing, and pushing toward our goals. Yes—online connections are amazing, but there is something powerful about putting yourself in rooms where inspiration is flowing and people are taking big action. This week, I’m attending a business conference in Arizona called BBD Live, because I’m always looking for new ways to grow both personally and professionally. And even though this post isn’t directly about book publishing, it absolutely ties into the journey of becoming an author. When you’re creating something meaningful, your inspiration, network, and environment matter.If you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired lately, maybe that’s your sign to invest in yourself—attend an event, join a workshop, or put yourself around people who talk about goals, ideas, and what’s possible. Tell people you’re writing a book. Tell them you want to be a future author. Say it out loud so you start owning it. When you share your goals with others, you bring momentum into your life. You stop keeping everything in your head and start allowing new opportunities, conversations, and creative sparks to enter your world. Another great option is to check if your area has a Skool IRL group. I’m feeling incredibly grateful that I get to present at the Chicago IRL, hosted by @Steve Gast . If you’re in the Chicagoland area and you haven’t connected with that group yet, please jump in—you never know who you’ll meet or what inspiration will hit. Also, if you're in the Milwaukee, WI area connect with @MJ Berst she is hosting a meetup there soon. Let me know in the comments:What’s one event, workshop, or in-person experience you want to attend in the next year to invest in yourself and your author journey?

If you want to start writing a book but you’re feeling overwhelmed, pressed for time, or like life keeps interrupting, this one simple ChatGPT prompt can take a huge weight off your shoulders. This is the exact prompt I use when I’m brainstorming a brand-new book: 👉 “I’m planning to write a book about __________________, what should I include in this book?” The more specific you are, the better the output. Here are a few examples: - “I’m planning to write a book about sound healing for women over 40.” - “I’m planning to write a book about how moms can create passive income from home.” - “I’m planning to write a book about managing anxiety for people with avoidant attachment styles.” - “I’m planning to write a book about helping beginners create their first Airbnb listing.” ChatGPT will generate a full chapter breakdown with sub-topics and ideas you may not have even thought of yet. ✨ You don’t need to follow the outline word for word.Use it to spark creativity, mix and match ideas, and shape a structure that fits your expertise, message, and teaching style. Give it a try and tell me in the comments if it helped you feel inspired or gave you a clearer starting point for your book!

Hello community I just wanted to make everyone aware that there has been an uptick in fraud on Skool communities and people who pretend to be influencers to gain your trust. Who I thought was Greg, a successful KDP YouTuber was actually a fraud. I messaged @Greg Gottfried on his YouTube channel and the real responded back to let me know it was not him and now we have the authentic person actually on Skool. Just please be mindful of who is connecting with you.

I just uploaded a new video breaking down EXACTLY how I earned over $20K in Amazon KDP sales this year — and the steps you can follow to get there too. Here’s the simple recipe every author needs: 🔥 Pick a strong topic people are searching for 🔥 Use a professional, scroll-stopping cover 🔥 Write a description that actually sells 🔥 Get at least 20 reviews 🔥 Run Amazon Ads consistently Most authors skip one of these and wonder why their books don’t move. When all five pieces work together? That’s when you start seeing real income. Drop a comment after you watch the video — which part of the recipe are you working on right now?
