You may be removed without warning and without further explanation. Integrity rules this house. 4. No Spectators Allowed. Camera ON! This isn’t a stage for watchers. This is a workshop for workers.

I want to share something from a place of support—especially for those of you who are building, growing, investing, and stretching yourselves right now. This is a follow-up to what I shared earlier about the four stages everyone goes through in meaningful growth:exhilaration, frustration, exploration, and determination. What I want to talk about today often shows up right in the exhilaration stage—when things are working, momentum is strong, and results are coming in. Let me take you back for a moment. When I first started my business, things were moving fast.I was helping people write books and become bestsellers—and it was working. People were paying. Clients were winning. Momentum was real. My very first book client paid me $10,000.That year, I worked with ten clients at that same level. My salary at the time was right around $98,000, and by the end of that year, I had essentially matched it through my business. The next year, I did it again. From the outside, everything looked like success—and in many ways, it was. I was exhilarated. Then one day, at a Rotary Club meeting, a woman named Ms. Vernada pulled me aside. She believed in my business. She supported what I was doing. And then she asked me a question that completely stopped me: “Tell me about your chart of accounts.” I had no idea what she meant. She followed up with more questions: - “What’s your ROI?” - “How does your P&L look?” - “What’s your balance sheet telling you?” And one by one, my answer was the same: “I don’t know.” Finally, she said something that changed the way I see business forever: “If you don’t know your numbers, you’re running your business blind.” That hit me like a ton of bricks. Here’s the contrast I want you to see. On the outside, I was making money.On the inside, I was guessing. I wasn’t failing—but I wasn’t fully informed either. And that’s a dangerous place to stay. What I’ve learned since then To this day, I’m still learning my numbers.I haven’t mastered everything. I’m still growing.

Let’s talk book coaching for a moment. Have you created your launch team yet? Here’s the truth most new authors miss: Books don’t sell because they’re good. They sell because they’re organized. A launch team is simply a small group of people with clear roles, all focused on one goal—moving books on launch day. Here’s how to build one that works: 1️⃣ Start with family Not to critique the book—but to support the mission. They buy early, leave reviews, and share because they believe in you. 2️⃣ Add friends Give them one simple job: Buy on launch day. Share once. Leave an honest review. 3️⃣ Activate followers Your audience already trusts you. Invite them behind the scenes. People support what they feel connected to. 4️⃣ Yes—even your foes Some people watch just to see if you’ll win. Let them watch you sell books. The math is simple: • 10 people buying 5 copies = 50 books • 25 people buying 4 copies = 100 books • 50 people buying 10 copies = 500 books No tricks. No hype. Just clarity, coordination, and leadership. Authors don’t need bigger platforms. They need better launch plans. If you’re writing—or already holding—a book, the question isn’t can it sell… The question is: Who’s on your launch team?
