Welcome back to the Weekly Book Business Brief—your weekly shot of strategy, tools, and real talk for authors building a book-based business.

I've got 10 episodes in the can of The Honoree Corder Show (coming July 13th 🤯). The Empire Builders Mastermind summer meeting is in the books. Summer has come in hot.

How are you?

🎯 MONETIZE YOUR BOOK WITH A MASTERMIND

The Empire Builders Mastermind Class of 2026 summer meeting was last week. With Project 100 underway and the show coming up, I kept the group smaller this year than in year's past--which has allowed for deeper strategy work to happen.

The above pic is the result of one such strategy session, and I have to say, I freaking love these types of sessions!

Hosting a mastermind for the past 8 years has allowed me to combine everything I love into one container: books, strategy, coaching, mentoring, laughing, coffee, and eating.

If you've considered hosting a mastermind, you'll want to check out Build a 6-Figure Mastermind (and use code subscriber to save 30%).

Full disclosure: If I created the course today, there's one change: it would be Build a 7-Figure Mastermind. When I created the course, I hadn't quite crossed over into 7-figures, but now I have.

You can, too. You can design a mastermind that is easy, lucrative, and fun (ELF), one that harnesses and showcases your education, experience, gifts, and talents. And I hope you, do!

​Get the course here.

I’ve been in bed the past several days because I picked up a nasty bug (after a fall on my left knee). I’ve discovered what an awful sick person/patient I am. Always room to grow, right?

I’ll be healthy and fully mobile soon and I’ll see you next week.

Make it a great one!
