When readers wanted to get in the same room with me #surprise

About eight months after I launched Building a Million Dollar Book Business I attended a really cool conference. RIP, Tribe Conference.

A sub-topic of the conference was masterminds, and one of my long-time readers looked at me and said, "If you had a mastermind, I'd be in it!"

In my shock, I said, "Why?"

Her reply, "You have an empire and I want one. You own it, it doesn't own you, and so if you start a mastermind, I'd be the first to sign up."

Long story short, the Empire Builders Mastermind was born (she was the second person to sign up!). This year, 2026, is the 8th year. Because I'm still quietly working on Project 100, this year's Class of 2026 is quite small--but definitely mighty!

If you're interested in hosting a mastermind, I launched Build a 6-Figure Mastermind a couple of years ago. It's super fun and can help you put yours together without a steep learning curve. I put mine together from the experience of attending masterminds and hosting group coaching, but I've definitely learned a lot!

Monday came around fast, I hope you have a great one. I'll see you tomorrow.

Reading time: < 30 seconds As I mentioned, the Empire Builders Mastermind (EBM) was born in 2019 with just six people. I didn't have a massive strategy--my "big marketing push" (and I do detest when someone says, "I'm going to 'push' this..." 🤮) was a Facebook post. One other thing I did was to make a list of people I thought would be a great fit for my group. Then I called and invited them with a brief description. I didn't have a numbers goal, I had a "perfect fit" goal. I wanted people who...

Reading time: < 30 seconds Mr. $300K Course Launch helped me put together, pre-launch successfully, and fully launch Building a Million Dollar Book Business. It has been, since the first day, one of my most popular courses. In case you're wondering if all courses are still popular after 8 years, the answer sadly is no. Here's why I believe my course is continuing to help people: the content is evergreen. Whether you published a nonfiction book in 1997 or are aiming for 2027, the chances are...

Reading time: < 30 seconds I used to teach Publishing PhD three times a year live. I'd meet people who wanted to write a book, and enroll them in my next eight-session course. I had a blast! Then someone approached me and said, you could save time, make more money, and serve more people with a "blended-learning" model. I didn't know what that was and if you don't either, it's basically an on-demand course that combines the different ways people learn the best: videos, audios, downloadable...
