- Cultivate is designed for a specific breed of author: the authorpreneur. This program is not for you if:
- you are looking to carve out a cookie-cutter book of bland content.
- you want to rush and write your book in 30 days without any vision or soul preparation.
- you just want to tell your story.
- you just want to sell a lot of books.
- you just want to be able to say, "I'm an author."
- Cultivate is for you if:
- you believe the book is only a piece of the puzzle.
- you want to create content that connects to your ideal client and changes their life.
- you want to launch your book using a strategy that builds relationships and revenue for your business.
- you want to tell your side of a multi-faceted story presenting your perspective and problem-solving.
- you want to be known as the author, speaker, consultant, expert, coach, teacher, visionary, strategist (just keep adding on the commas).
- Cultivate is a two-year program and requires a valued commitment from you.
- The enrollment process occurs twice a year: May through June and July through December. During each application cycle, only 5 authors will be chosen to work with me 1-on-1.
- If I choose you for Cultivate, here's what the program will look like. We will:
- Cultivate Clarity:
- brainstorm, mindmap, and outline the vision of your book and its role within your business. Preparation is never wasted time, and you will save time.
- Cultivate Content:
- write, write, and #JustWrite. Content will flow abundantly from your lips and fingertips. Your words will, yes, go into your book, but also, into other mediums, such as blogs, videos, podcasts, social media posts, infographics, newsletters, etc.
- Cultivate Cash:
- self-publishing your book is an investment. To offset the costs, we will use some of that content you have already created to cultivate cashflow through programs, workshops, intensives, consulting sessions, seminars, conferences, curriculum, etc.
- More program benefits:
- ISBN and barcode purchases
- Book cover and layout design
- Content editing
- Professional bios
- Back cover content
- Book summaries/ad copy
- Customized marketing strategy (pre-launch, launch, and post launch)
- Ongoing, unhindered access to me for questions, concerns, and feedback
- The investment for Cultivate starts at $20,000.
