MiniWrimo Week 1: Start the Journey to Write & Publish Your Mini Book Today & Finish This Month

7 Days to Nail Your Identity

Hey Revenue Writers,

Welcome MiniWriMo!

The first annual Mini Book Writing Month.

Each week you’ll have daily tasks along with learning to guide you through it. If you complete all the tasks you’ll not only have a Mini Book Written, but it’ll be written and published on Amazon.

Week 1 Sat November 1st - Friday 7th

This week you are establishing your idea and identity that your Mini Book will cement.

Most people start a book all wrong. They pick a topic and start writing.

I want you to NOT pick a topic for your book, but pick a direction for your business.

This is what makes a Mini Book so effective. When you write it intentionally to achieve a specific outcome in business.

This is how we create a Book to Business Flywheel, because a book isn’t supposed to make you royalties, it’s suppose to drive and create revenue for your business. Not pennies from an ebook selling, but finding you clients.

Much of this week is based on my upcoming book Mini Book Flywheel: Become the Person, Brand, and Category People Remember that releases December 9th.

So lets get started!

(All 7 days for this week are below go as fast or on pace as you want)
