Welcome to Your Book Revolution!
Because It's Not Just Your Book.
It's Your Business.
Watch this quick video for an introduction to what can be one of the best decisions you'll make for yourself, your professional life, and your future.
Hello Forthcoming Author!
I'm going to go straight for the jugular here because I know you can take it:
If you're a professional with an idea for a book...
If you're seeking more exposure for the magnificent work you do...
If you've got an idea, experience, story, framework, and/or system that can help others grow, transform, laugh, cry, do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight...
Writing a book isn't optional anymore.
It's not a "nice to have."
It's not an answer to a parlor game at the local watering hole with your friends on trivia night who say they want to write a book someday, too, but never do.
Writing and publishing your book -- the one that puts you in a different class above the rest -- is a knock-down, drag-em-out, fight-to-the-finish decision that goes waaaaayyyyy beyond the book itself.
Listen, the excuses and gatekeepers are gone.
There is absolutely NOTHING keeping anyone from writing and publishing a book today -- except for those annoying doubts, fears, worries, and concerns that plague us all around 3 am (gotcha covered here).
With so many ways to get your ideas, messages, systems, and processes in front of a global audience, the big question isn’t --
Should you write a book?
No. The big question is:
?
When are you going to write it?
Here's the Thing
A book can be the thick, frosty fodder of a great story you tell from a rocking chair overlooking a sun-sparkled body of water while sipping your favorite beverage.
It can sound something like, "Yeah, writing and publishing my book was one of the best decisions I ever made. And yes, if you're pouring, I'll have another!"
A book can give your business, your career, your life a new set of wings.
If you allow it to soar over that sparkling turquoise sea -- if you hop on and glide with it --
It can take you places you can’t begin to imagine.
- You become the authority for your niche.
- Your point of view grabs the attention of people who are looking for solutions to the problems you solve.
- Your book opens doors that were once closed because a proper book elevates your status and grants you access beyond the velvet rope.
All you have to do is hold on and ride.
It will find the current it needs.
And that’s where the magic happens.
Your job -- should you choose to accept it -- is to write the best, right book for your business and goals with everything you’ve got.
Right now.
The rest will take care of itself.
Let me ask you a question:
If you wanted to learn how to fly a plane, would you watch a handful of YouTube videos and hope you got it all figured out?
Would you enroll in a digital course with no live instructor to show you exactly what you need to learn?
Of course not.
You would find someone to teach you. To work with you side by side, guiding your process, keeping you on track.
You’d take flying lessons from an experienced instructor.
Writing and publishing a book is no different. Working with a professional who has done what you’re wanting to do is one of the best investments of your life.
With so many ways for people to consume content — print, digital, audio, video — and with so many consumers looking for great new content to consume…
Doesn’t it make sense to put your book onto the playing field?
The Problem
Outside of the pesky three-in-the-morning mind games your inner critic likes to play with you, there are only a handful of problems getting in your way of writing and publishing your book.
The most common challenges I hear:
- Can't get your thoughts out of your head onto the page
- Too many ideas with no sense of how to narrow them down to one simple idea
- Don't have a framework or narrative arc that holds your ideas together
- Aren't organized -- may have several drafts that go in different directions
- Haven't received any objective feedback, editing, or guidance during the developmental phase
- Don't know much or anything about book writing for today's marketplace
- Feel pressed for time -- you already have a ton on your plate
Trust me.
I’ve heard it all and more from every client I’ve worked with.
Yet on the day they hold their book for the first time, and we pop the champagne and raise a glass to a job well done, all these problems have gone away and they tell me writing a book was one of the best decisions they ever made.
Clients like Claudio who now have a book in the world making a difference.
That smiles says it all, doesn't it?

My Book Writing & Publishing Story
When I wrote and self-published my first book, I had no idea it would lead me to:
- Working with some of the best clients ever
- Securing generous paid speaking and coaching gigs
- Living my purpose while serving others
- Establishing myself as a trusted leader in the digital space
- Launching a podcast (500+ episodes and still going strong!)
- Building a business I'm excited about getting out of bed for in the morning
- Writing and publishing more books
All of these amazing results can be traced back to making one small decision to write the best book I could write at the time -- and then giving it to the world.
