πŸ“š PBI Book Club – MAY READING 🎯
This month inside the Poetry Business Institute, we’re focusing on one of the most important parts of building a poetry business: ✨ BRANDING ✨ Our May Book of the Month is:πŸ“– Building a StoryBrand by Donald Miller Too many talented poets struggle because people don’t clearly understand: ❌ who they help ❌ what they offer ❌ why it matters This book teaches us how to simplify our message so people don’t just listen… they TAKE ACTION. 🧠 Theme of the Month: Clarify your message so people listen β€” and buy. As poets and creatives, we often focus so much on the art that we forget the importance of communication and positioning. Your audience should instantly understand: 🎀 who you are 🎯 what you do πŸ’‘ how you help πŸ”₯ why they should care This month, we’ll work on: βœ… Brand messaging βœ… Clear introductions/bios βœ… Audience connection βœ… Offers & services βœ… Simplifying your communication βœ… Becoming the GUIDE instead of the hero Because confusion kills momentum… but clarity builds community, opportunities, and income. πŸ“Grab the book and join us in the Book Club category as we read, reflect, and apply these lessons to our poetry businesses all month long.

πŸ“˜ The 12 Week Year – Week 1 Summary
Chapters 1–4: A New Way to Think About Time πŸ”‘ Summary: These chapters challenge the traditional mindset of annual goal-setting and introduce a powerful concept: what if you treated every 12 weeks like a year? This new lens creates urgency, clarity, and focus. Instead of coasting through long timelines, you compress planning, execution, and reflection into tight, productive cycles. The authors argue that successful people don’t always know moreβ€”they execute more consistently. They also break down how vision, planning, and accountability are critical to making meaningful progress every 12 weeks. 🧠 Reflection Questions (Poet Edition) ✍️ What β€œpoetry project” or goal have you been dragging out for months that you could complete in the next 12 weeks? (A book? A tour? A new service? A signature poem? A brand launch?) 🧭 What is your 12-week poetic vision? (If this were a mini-year, what would you want to accomplish creatively and financially?) πŸ›  What systems or habits are currently blocking your momentum as a poetry business owner? (Be honestβ€”are you waiting until it’s perfect? Avoiding marketing? Failing to schedule?) ⏳ Do you wait until you β€œfeel inspired” to work on your business, or do you have structured work time? (This book says structure beats inspiration every time.) πŸ“ˆ What does success look like for you on March 31, 2026? (Because if you're following the 12 Week Year... β€œnext year” is only 12 weeks away.)
