The Big Book Lie

You know you should write a book.
You just don’t know which one.

You’ve got the expertise. You’ve helped people for years. But when you sit down to outline or write, you freeze.

What should it be about? Who is it for? Will anyone buy it? Will it bring you clients, or just compliments?

So the book stays in your head. Another year goes by.

That’s not your fault. You were sold The Big Book Lie: the belief that a real book has to be long, take years, and be perfect before anyone sees it.

It doesn’t.

Your guide

I’ve written 32 books.
22 Amazon bestsellers.
Only 2 make me real money.

The difference had nothing to do with how good they were. The books that pay me claimed a category. They made me the only choice for one problem.

My book The Independent Adjuster’s Playbook built a business that has earned up to $750K a year. I wrote Mini Book Model in 3 days, and a year later people were calling me “the Mini Book guy.”

My newest book, LAZY Book Launch, hit #1 in all three of its Amazon categories the weekend it released.

I’ll show you how to do the same thing with your book.

The plan

Three steps. Thirty days.
One finished book.

01

Name it.

We find your person, your problem, and your point of view. Then we name your category and the villain it defeats.

02

Frame it.

We turn how you solve the problem into a simple framework and outline your book around it.

03

Write it.

You write. When you get stuck, I ask the questions that get you moving. In 30 days, your Mini Book is done.

What’s at stake

A year from now,
where’s your book?

Without a plan

The book stays in your head.

You keep posting and hoping someone notices. Clients keep asking what makes you different, and you keep explaining.

With your Category Book

You’re the name they remember.

Your book introduces you before you ever get on a call. Readers show up already believing you can help them.

Thirty days from now, your first draft could be finished.

A few answers

Before you
begin.

What if I don’t have a book idea yet?

Perfect. That’s what the Category Session is for. Most people start there.

What’s a Mini Book?

A short, focused nonfiction book, 5,000 to 15,000 words. Long enough to change how someone thinks. Short enough that they finish it.

How much time will this take?

Three 60-minute calls, plus your writing time. Most people write 1–2 hours each day.

Do you write it for me?

No. You write it, and I coach you through it. Your ideas, your voice, your book.

How does the payment plan work?

$500 today to get started. The second $500 is charged automatically 30 days later. The total is $1,000.

What if I get stuck?

Message me on the Stuck Line. I’ll reply within one business day with questions that get you moving.
