I’m setting an intentional goal for 2026: to be a guest on podcasts at least once a month. If you host a podcast and are looking for guests, I’d love to connect. I’ve been self-publishing for the last few years to generate passive income, and now I teach others how to turn books into income-producing assets—whether they’re first-time authors, coaches, or business owners who want a book that actually works for their brand. Happy to talk about: - Self-publishing as passive income - How a simple book can lead to higher-ticket offers - Building authority and audience through books - Lessons learned from publishing multiple books If this fits your show, drop a comment or DM me and let’s see if it’s a good match.

If you’re a business owner or community builder and you don’t have a book yet, 2026 is the year to change that. A book is one of the most leveraged assets you can create for your brand. It works while you’re offline, builds instant authority, and gives people a tangible way to connect with your ideas. Whether you sell it for $12 on Amazon, give it away as a lead magnet, or use it to move someone into a higher-ticket offer, a book positions you differently than almost any other piece of content. What most people get wrong is thinking a book has to be complicated or time-consuming. It doesn’t. You don’t need to be a “writer.” You don’t need months of free time. And you don’t need to start from scratch. Your existing knowledge, frameworks, client wins, or even community conversations can become a book. With AI and simple systems, the heavy lifting is lighter than ever. A book can: - Attract new leads who already trust you - Warm people up before they ever get on a sales call - Add a new revenue stream (even at a low price point) - Strengthen your community and give members something concrete to rally around 👉OK TAKE ME TO THE COMMUNITY NOW The key is being clear on the goal of the book. Is it to generate passive income? Bring in better-qualified clients? Grow your email list? Support your community? Once you know that, the structure and content become much easier. If publishing a book has been “on your list” for years, this is your sign. 2026 doesn’t need another overthink. It needs execution.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas (if you celebrate)! For some of us, today is Boxing Day and a welcome day of rest and relaxation with the family. My 6 yo asked this morning why it's called Boxing Day, which resulted in a huge debate about the origins of the holiday. In a day and age when answers are so easily found online, it was kind of nice to sit and argue about all of our personal preconceived notions about the holiday... For those of you who are new (and there are a lot of you!) we are so glad that you are joining us! Since the main community is for promoting your own personal groups and services, we like to take Friday to look outward and share about the communities of others that we think are particularly beneficial and that others would like to know about. This is the only place/time where it's okay to share affiliate links (please disclose in your comment if your link is an affiliate link). IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, please share the name of a community that you think others would like to know about. Provide some context about who it's for and how they will benefit. Include the link, and then also mention or DM the person who owns the group to let them know you promoted them in the Classifieds. i guarantee you will make their day! #FriendFriday recommendations made in new posts will be deleted.

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

Happy Christmas days to all of you 🎄🎁💝
