@Krista Brea I’m ready to start laying out my book… are there instructions in the classroom somewhere on how to do that and what sizes to fit to and what format to upload in etc? TY!

💰 Hypothetical Question... If Amazon dropped a $10,000 royalty check into your bank account this month from your books, what would you do with it? Would you: 📚 Reinvest it into publishing more books? ✈️ Take a dream vacation? 💳 Pay off debt? 🏡 Put it toward a home project? 📈 Invest it for the future? 👨‍👩‍👧 Spend more time with family? One of the things I love about publishing is that every book can become a digital asset that continues working long after you've finished writing it. So tell me... What's the first thing you'd do with a $10,000 royalty check?

Lately, I've been putting more effort into making this community feel like a true community again—not just a place to consume content, but a place where people connect, share ideas, and grow together. I'd love to hear your story. What originally brought you into this community? - Did someone refer you? - Did you discover me through YouTube? - Did you find us through the Skool network? - Were you looking for help publishing your first book? - Were you searching for ways to actually sell more books? - Are you a business owner looking to use a book to build authority and create another income stream? Sure, I can see some of the analytics, but numbers don't tell the whole story. I'd rather hear it directly from you. What was the moment, video, post, recommendation, or goal that made you decide to join? Drop a comment below and introduce yourself. I'd love to learn more about what brought you here and what you're hoping to accomplish. 🚀📚

As some of you know, I've been traveling internationally and am currently visiting Italy. What you might not know is how I've been leveraging my business to help support my travel. One of my favorite strategies is making sure my business expenses are working for me instead of just being expenses. For example, I use an American Express Business Gold Card. (I realize this may be more beneficial for those in the U.S.) The reason I love this card is because it allows me to earn Membership Rewards points on business spending, which I can then use toward flights and travel. Check this out... Last month alone, I spent about $1,000 on Amazon ads. That spending earned me 4x points. But that's not the only category that earns bonus points. Many of the Skool communities I've joined also code as business services, which means those expenses have earned me 4x points as well. Think about that for a minute. Sure, it may not look like much right now but over the course of a year just amazon and skool alone might be pulling in 65k annual points. I was already planning to spend that money to grow my business. By using the right credit card, I'm earning rewards that help fund future travel experiences. This is why I always encourage business owners to look at their entire business ecosystem. Don't just focus on generating revenue. Also look at how you're spending money and whether those expenses can create additional value. 👉 Advertising. 👉 Software subscriptions. 👉 Communities. 👉 Business tools. If you're already spending money in these categories, you might as well earn rewards while doing it. If you're spending a lot on Amazon ads, software, or Skool memberships and you're not using a card that rewards those purchases, it may be worth taking a closer look at the Amex Business Gold and seeing if it makes sense for your situation.

Sometimes it's hard to explain your book in a sentence... but what if you had to explain it with a GIF? 😆 Drop a GIF in the comments that represents what your book is about (or the book you're currently working on). Examples: ❤️ Relationship book → A couple hugging, arguing, or reconnecting 💰 Personal finance book → Money raining from the sky 🐶 Dog training book → A dog doing something hilarious 🚀 Business book → Someone launching into space 📖 Self-help book → A dramatic transformation GIF No titles. No descriptions. Just the GIF. Let's see if the community can guess what your book is about based on the GIF alone! 👀
