👋 Hey everyone, I wanted to give you a quick update in case you notice I'm a little quieter than usual this week. Last night I spent about six hours in the ER with my son after he started having asthma-related breathing issues. We're heading back to the doctor today for a follow-up, and right now my main focus is helping him rest and get back to feeling like himself. It breaks my heart that he got sick so soon after celebrating his birthday. Because of that, responses to messages, video reviews, and a few other community tasks may be delayed by a day or so. I appreciate your patience and understanding while I put my family first for the moment. I'm hoping today's appointment brings us some reassuring news and that he's on the road to a quick recovery. Thank you all for your kindness and support. It truly means a lot. ❤️

It's been a while since I shared this, and we have a lot of new faces in here. So, let's do something fun and let AI suggest your next read. (The image is the one that AI suggested for me...) SHARE YOUR RESULTS IN THE COMMENTS! PROMPT 👇👇👇 Based on everything that you know about me and my struggles, please recommend a book for me to read. Also, pull in an image of the cover and give me 5 reasons I need to read this book.

I started my day with the biggest smile because today is my son's 5th birthday! 🥳🎂 I had to work today, but thankfully I was able to work from home so I could make his morning a little extra special. Before he left for the day, I surprised him with a few birthday presents, and seeing his face light up was the best part of my morning. Moments like these remind me how fast they're growing up. ❤️ I have one small birthday request. If you have a moment, could you leave Elijah a "Happy Birthday!" in the comments or drop your favorite birthday GIF? 🎉🎈 I'm going to show him all of the birthday wishes when he gets home later today, and I know it would absolutely make his day. Thank you for helping make his 5th birthday even more special! 💙🎁

Whether you realize it or not, I've been making a lot of positive changes around the community. 👉 One of the biggest changes is what I ask every new member when they join: Are you here to publish your first book, or are you here to learn how to market a book you've already published? What's been interesting is that I've been seeing more and more people joining because they already have a book, they just need help getting it in front of more readers and generating more sales. And honestly, that's the goal for all of us. Publishing your book is a huge milestone, but learning how to market it is what gives it the opportunity to reach more people and continue selling long after launch. That's why this Friday, July 31, I'm releasing a brand-new Book Marketing Training for the community. ⏰ It will only be available from July 31 through August 2. Whether you haven't published your first book yet or you're trying to get more traction with a book that's already live, you'll walk away with practical strategies you can put to use right away. This training will be available to every member of the community, but only for that limited window. Don't miss it. Set yourself a reminder now, and I'll post another reminder when the training goes live!
