There’s something about those black and white composition notebooks that takes me right back to elementary school. Every morning, our teacher would write a journal prompt on the chalkboard. We’d open our notebooks, date the page, and start writing. No overthinking. No perfectionism. Just words on paper. Then I’d come home and grab my little diary and write, “Dear Diary…” followed by whatever felt dramatic and important in my world at the time. The 90s really had us believing our stories mattered. And they did. Writing was fun back then. I wasn’t the “best” writer in class. My graded essays weren’t winning awards. But I loved the process of putting thoughts into words. I just didn’t realize that those tiny daily habits were building something in me. If you had told that little girl with the glitter pen that one day she’d have 12+ books published and over $100,000 in royalties from self-publishing, she probably wouldn’t have believed you. But here we are. What changed wasn’t talent. It was commitment. Learning how to use Amazon KDP turned something I genuinely enjoy into an income stream that shows up month after month. That’s powerful. Not just because of the money, but because of what it represents. Ownership. Creativity. Leverage. And I know there are people in this community who have been telling themselves for years, “One day I’ll write a book.” One day turns into next year. Next year turns into “when things calm down.” And life keeps getting in the way. If that’s you, I want you to know you’re not behind. But you do have to decide. For a limited time, I’m choosing to work closely with a small group of people who are ready to stop talking about it and finally get it done. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take your writing seriously and see what’s possible, this might be it. 👉 DETAILS HERE Your story still matters. The only question is — are you ready to finish it? 📚✨

💥 It’s never too early to start marketing your book. Most people think marketing starts after the book is published. That’s already too late. If you’re even thinking about writing a book, here’s what you can start doing now: • Talk about your book idea on social media • Share what you’re learning as you research and write • Start building a small list of beta readers • Begin growing an email list early • Think about how your book fits into a bigger ecosystem 🔥 Your book shouldn’t be the finish line — it should be the front door. Before your outline is done, ask yourself: - What action do I want readers to take next? - Could this book lead to a course, a community, coaching, or a free resource? - How can this book collect data and build my audience? Personally, I add QR codes inside my books that send readers to opt-ins, resources, or next steps. That way, the book keeps working long after the sale. Highly recommend checking out @Jeff Baer and his community Skool Bio Profits he will hook you up with some custom QR codes! 👉 So even if: - You haven’t outlined yet - You’re still validating your topic - You’re at the very beginning Start thinking bigger than just “publishing a book.” Think strategy, ecosystem, and long-term leverage. Your future self will thank you. 👇 DROP IN THE COMMENTS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO TO START GENERATING AWARENESS ABOUT THE BOOK YOUR WORKING ON

I want to share a story around a decision I made yesterday. I removed @Al Anderson from the group due to spam. This community has a zero-spam policy, and I take that seriously. My goal is to protect this space so members aren’t flooded with unsolicited DMs or pitches from people who aren’t here to contribute. That said, this has never been an anti-collaboration community. After a conversation, AI Anderson shared that his intention was to learn about books and participate without spamming. I’m open to second chances when intentions are clear and boundaries are respected. So here’s the line I’m drawing clearly: 👉 No spam. No cold pitching. No unsolicited DMs. 👉 Collaboration and community are welcome—when done openly and respectfully. To support that, I’m opening this one thread for visibility and connection. 👇 In the comments, feel free to share: - Who you are - How you help people - A link to your community (if you have one) This keeps everything transparent, optional, and respectful for everyone here. Thanks for helping keep this community valuable.

Most people in here are building (or planning to build) an online business. But let’s be honest—almost none of us started right away. 😱 Was it: - Fear of failing (or being judged)? - Not enough money? - Feeling like you didn’t know enough yet? - Being way outside your comfort zone? Now here’s the interesting part 👀 When you started thinking about writing your book… did the same thing show up again? Fear, overthinking, waiting for the “right time,” second-guessing yourself? 👉 Drop a comment: - What held you back then? - And did you notice any overlap when it came to starting your book? No wrong answers—patterns are where the breakthroughs usually start. **Funny side note I searched "stuck" in the GIFs and saw this image pop up and this is exactly why my son has a fear of the BIG POTTY. I'm actively in a potty training process and he only insists on using the kids potty**
