F thembook.com. I wanted to explain something about the publishing world that pre-orders really matter.

0:17.1

I literally have three weeks to get some pre-orders on this book. And that's how the publisher goes out to Target and Walmart and Barnes & Noble and all your indie booksellers. And they basically say, hey, there's a little heat on this book. Would you buy 10 for your Barnes & Noble at the Grove? Would you buy 10 for your indie? It's crazy because the book is published in November, but the orders over the next few weeks really, really matter. If you're planning on supporting me and you're planning on getting the book, if you could do it now sooner than later, I would appreciate it so much. F thembook.com. And I offered all these pre-order bonuses. And one of them is to get into the K-type collective where I'm literally going to be your personal coach all year long leading up into the book launch for free. Every Wednesday you're going to get homework for me. It could be social media. It could be money. It could be emotional. And then on Sunday, I'm going to review it and do all of the work and tell you what I think and give you my personalized feedback. And we're going to have once monthly accountability meetings as well on Zoom so we can all chat. I'm really excited about
