The day MVH said, "You must write a book!" changed my life forever

Super big nerd alert: In 2004, I was attending a conference and I met the Mark Victor Hansen.

Now our conversation changed my life, apparently I didn't make an impression. As luck would have it, I did a book with Joe Polish (who is close friends with MVH). I got to FaceTime with him and he was psyched our encounter made a difference.

As an aside, always be nice. People might be telling others of their encounter with you a couple of decades from now. Make sure they can say something good!

Anyway. When he asked me what I did, I very proudly did a hair flip, followed by, "I'm a coach and a speaker."

His reply? "Everybody is a coach and a speaker." (Ouch.) "You must write a book."

"Okay, Mark, tell me more."

I had no idea the advice he gave me would change the trajectory of my life.

More tomorrow.

Reading time: < 30 seconds One book was an income stream. Scratch that--one book was two income streams (at first): book and ebook. A book and a workbook--well, now we're talking four income streams. Now with the availability of POD (print on demand) hardcover and easily accessible audiobooks, each book and companion is four income streams, each! So a book and a companion product (workbook, journal, companion guide, to name three) can be a package, a system, a reason for readers to come back....

Okay, I can't believe it's Saturday (where did the week go?). January was such a long year, February was a flash and now we're in the final month of Q1. Wait, what?! The number of you who've replied and said you'd never heard of this book (Stop Trying So F*cking Hard) reminded me that it's always a great idea to keep marketing your book--even if you're tired of talking about it, there's someone who hasn't heard of it (and would really like to). If you have a book you haven't talked about in...

I've been really busy lately, running out of daylight or brainpower (sometimes not in that order). I've got a lot going on--I know you do, too--and even though I fall asleep (according to my SleepNumber bed) in less than one minute, I've been waking up at 3 a.m. I know, that is super early, and it's a full hour and a half earlier than I usually get up (and 4:30 isn't exactly late, either). Those extra 90 minutes can mean the difference between me being creative and me counting the hours until...
