I used the Serve Call template and just sold my first Kit Build VIP package. The template kept me on track with my client, so I could stay focused on the call and really listen to what he needed. It also meant I could use his own words back to him during the call, which made the conversation feel natural rather than salesy.

For years, I've struggled to find a CRM tool that fits my freelancing business. As someone who values simplicity, I was always frustrated by how big and bloated all of the popular apps felt. KitBoard is a welcome breath of fresh air. Its sleek layout is easy to navigate. Its functions make sense for someone like me, who's working solo and who serves more individuals than companies. Its action-oriented design keeps me focused on what matters. I'm so grateful for this app.

Being an entrepreneur is lonely, and the Authority Guild has given me the opportunity to be vulnerable, share my ideas, [and] get feedback. I feel so excited because this week, again, I've come away with a plan knowing what I'm doing [and] feeling solid in what I'm doing. It also really helps me to level up... and the Authority Guild has helped me to become the authority really in my niche.
Video transcript: So, Mama J, why should someone join the Authority Guild? Tell us about your experience this week or just in general? I mean, you've been the Authority Guild almost a year now. So for somebody who's on the fence thinking about joining, give them just a little nudge, like, what do they need to know about why they should join? Being an entrepreneur is lonely, and the Authority Guild has given me the opportunity to be vulnerable, share my ideas, get feedback. And I feel so excited because this week, again, I've come away with a plan. Knowing what I'm doing, feeling solid in what I'm doing, it also really helps me to level up. So it's easy to just get focused in one lane. And the Authority Guild has helped me to become the authority really in my niche. I love that. I love that. And on your authority, thank you so much for sharing.

Building your authority is such a strong position to come from when you're looking at your business... I love the part about the book because... that whole credibility and legitimacy piece, once you're published, that [doubt] just disappears forever... But then the part that I didn't expect to be so valuable is just... being in the room where it happens... It's like that collective wisdom and support, and a space to be vulnerable with what isn't working and to share what is working.
Video transcript: I just. I just found Marie. So, Marie, what would you say to somebody who's thinking about joining the Authority Guild of what's your takeaway and why? Why should they do it? I think building your authority is such a strong position to come from, you know, when you're looking at your business. And then how do you build that authority? First of all. Right, so I love the part about the book, because I feel like you said that whole credibility, legitimacy piece, once you're, like, published, then, like, that just disappears forever. Right? So I thought that was brilliant. And then, I mean. And that was why I joined. Right. But then the part that I didn't expect to be so valuable is just, you know, it's like being in the room where it happens. Yes. The room where it happens. Yes. This is. That's, by the way, that's the room where it happens right there. So. Yeah, and it's like that collective wisdom and support and, like, a space to be vulnerable with what isn't working, to share what is working. All of that. That's good. That's perfect. Thank you, Marie, for sharing that.

[The Authority Guild] has been game-changing. A big piece of it is just being in a room with like-minded people. For me, as a mission-driven entrepreneur where my business is also part of my personal mission, those are hard spaces to find... to be in a spot where everybody is building a business that's really mission-driven and looking to impact people while also building a profitable business, for me, has been really huge.
Video transcript: Why would you join the authority guild? For me it's been game changing. A big piece of it is just being in a room with like minded people. You know, I know for me as a mission driven entrepreneur where my business is also part of just my personal mission, those are hard spaces to find where you're like, it's not just all about being an entrepreneur making money, it's also about like, like what is the purpose that you're living out. So to be in a spot where like everybody is building a business that's really mission driven and looking to impact people while also building a profitable business for me has been really huge. And then I guess the other thing is just the getting to be able to get raw and real feedback from people who are on a similar journey and doing similar things. Building the similar assets for our authority business is absolutely powerful because it's funny, like as a coach I can help other people unpack things and see things and diagnose things, but when it comes to my own business, it's almost like I put these big blinders on and it's really hard to see, like to really navigate. So like today I came into a hot seat and I said like, I know I have a gut feel that this isn't right, but I don't know why. Yeah. And then everybody was able to help unpack. And as we unpacked and they talked about different words, suddenly I was like, oh yeah, it's this word that I don't like and it's that word that I don't like in my promise. And then we're able to actually reshape it and recraft it in real time. So it's something that I actually love and I'm confident in giving to talking to about clients versus just like, well, I don't know, it's not quite right, but I don't know what else to do. And so to have that room and that support for me has just been so powerful on the journey. That's good. I'm so glad you're here, Brian. Thank you for sharing.

It's such a holistic experience because it really brings to the surface every idea I've ever had, every little squeaky wheel in my business, big and small, and gets it out of my head. When you're in a room with other business owners and hearing all of their feedback... I get advice that's so out of the box, but so applicable. The Authority Guild has given me big-picture support as well as real nuts-and-bolts tools—apps, how to use AI, how to get more creative with closing, and just better everything from every angle.
Video transcript: When I joined the Authority Guild, it actually came after already having worked with John. So John's heard me say this a million times, but everything he's ever taught me has worked. So I was like, I'm in whatever we're doing in the Guild. And what drew me in out of the gate was writing the book, which I've started. I'm like, more than halfway done. But it's so much more than that. I mean, if all I had gotten from the experience was just just starting a book. Yeah. I mean, let alone finishing a book, that would have been enough. But it's such a holistic experience because it really brings to the surface every idea I've ever had, every little, like, squeaky wheel in my business, big and small, and it gets it out of my head. And of course, you're so good with giving immediate feedback, whether we're, like, in person or not. But it's just, you know, 12 fold, 10 fold, whatever. When you're in a room with other business owners and just hearing all of their feedback from all of their very, very different places in life. I'm a professional organizer, and I love being in a room where nobody else is a professional organizer, because I get advice that's so out of the box, but it's so applicable. So the Authority Guild has given me just, like, big picture support, as well as, like, real nuts and bolts tools, apps like how to use AI, how to, like, get, you know, more creative with closing and just better everything from every angle. That's awesome. I love that. Thank you for sharing.

What the Authority Guild has made possible for me is it's given me a blueprint to follow and also put me in the room with other like-minded entrepreneurs that are building million-dollar authority businesses. I've learned so much from the hot seats... it's just amazing to be in this room with all the energy, all these great people, and all these ideas. There's just this synergy that you can't really get anywhere else.

One of the frameworks is getting paid for your advice and not for your effort or for your hands—sell your smarts, not your hands. For me, it's a very clear and compelling transition of how I best monetize, package, and communicate the value of my advice, and then put that into the right product model, business model, and pricing model. ...That's the power of being in a guild, in a mastermind of people doing similar things: you get fast access to wisdom and experience, and not just information.
Video transcript: I found Jordan. All right, Jordan, is the Authority guild a good use of time and money? Should I join? Is this the right fit for me? What would you say? So there are just so many frameworks that we use. Like one of them is getting paid for your advice and not for your effort, for your hands, you know, sell your smarts, not your hands. I came from the world and still in the world of selling effort and hands and work. And so for me, it's a very clear and compelling transition and transformation of like, yeah, how do I best monetize and package and communicate the value of my advice? And then putting that into the right product model and business model and pricing model, you can talk to AI and say, oh, what do you think? Is it a good idea for me to do this or that? And it's always going to say yes. And then it's going to give you some very simple high level rollout plan. But then when you actually go try to do it, you're going to be like, oh, this didn't work like I thought it would, or who do I go to to ask questions or to get feedback or to say like, was this normal? Or now what do I do? And that's, that's the power of being in a guild, in a mastermind of people doing similar things, similar business models, totally different niches and industries. You get fast access to wisdom and experience and not just information. There are some masterminds or groups out there that only meet up in person a couple times a year and that's it. And then you have to wait a really long time for your next in person when you have a question. So the value, you know, I, this is my first time in person. I've been a member for like nine months, so it's been all online and I've gotten a lot of value out of that. And I've gotten, gotten to meet people and start those relationships and be able to also bring the things I'm working on, but also the things that get brought to the virtual group, like guest genius sessions and expert sessions and roundtables where you're not always coming to like, ask a question, but you're coming to hear and listen. That's great. Thank you, Jordan.

The biggest thing is the people. When you have the people that you're surrounding yourself with, they push your thinking. They make you dig a little bit deeper... the people in general just help level you up and challenge you. If anybody's thinking about joining a group like this, I would say this is definitely the group if you want to grow, be challenged, and have a cool leader.
Video transcript: Scott, I'd love to know. What do you think? Why should somebody join the Authority Guild? What's the. What's your takeaway? And why should they join? Yeah, no, it's a great question. Well, I think the biggest thing is the people. When you have the people that you're surrounding yourself with, they push your thinking. They make you dig a little bit deeper. I know for me personally, I work with my son Scotty, and the group really challenged me on why I haven't gotten to the goal that we are striving for or what is holding me back from reaching that. So it made us have a really serious conversation, which was really great, and just kind of like reflecting, kind of forced that out of us. And just, I think the people in general just help level. Level you up and just, like I said, challenge you. So if anybody's thinking about joining a group like this group, this one particular. Because that's why I'm here, then I would say this is definitely the group if you want to grow, but you also want to be challenged and you want to have a cool leader like this guy over here. Oh, hey. Well, I don't know about that, but thank you, Scott. I appreciate you saying so.

One of the biggest things is just being in the room with everyone that I've been around and just being able to take different things I didn't even know about my business that they might be doing and kind of get that information that like, 'Oh, maybe it's something I should try' and then starting to implement into my business. 'Cuz it's a lot of things that we end up missing that is really so obvious that someone else is doing that we're not. And that kind of exposed that in a good way to where now, okay, I have a direction of something I should add to my business that I'm not right now that is really simple, but I didn't look at it from that perspective.
Video transcript: I'd love to hear from you, Scotty, and your perspective on, like, you know, what's been your experience in these Wortigales so far and why should somebody join who's thinking about it?

If you're on the fence and you're trying to figure things out for your business—and partially also your life—this is going to dramatically accelerate that process. For me, actually, the word is acceleration. Being surrounded with the right community who are wrestling with similar or exact same problems... they'll ask you really good questions. You learn faster, you move faster, and you're motivated because you see people are moving. There's friendship, there's community, and there's work—it's a good balance.
Video transcript: Okay. I'm here with Nicola, and I want to know Nicola, so what would you say to someone who is thinking about joining the Authority Guild? Right. So you've been a member now for not quite a year. I'd love to know, like, what's been your experience? And what would you say to someone who's on the fence? All right, you. If you're on the fence and you're trying to figure things out for your business and partially also your life, this is going to dramatically accelerate that process. And what helped me is, you know, being surrounded with the right people. The community. Yeah. Who are wrestling with similar or sometimes the exactly same problems. And not only. I don't, you know, they're not going to give you answers, but they'll ask you really good questions. For me, actually, the word is acceleration. I feel like if I tried to figure this out on my own. You could. It could, but it would take longer. I hope I could. Maybe you could, but. Yeah, but you know, when you have a mirror, Right. People, they ask questions. Yeah. You learn faster, you move faster, you're motivated because you see people are moving. You kind of like, you hold yourself accountable. There's friendship, there's community, and there's work. It's good balance. I like it. And there's the beach. And there's a beach and there's a jungle, and there's. John. Yes. Yes. Thank you, Nicola. I appreciate you sharing that. I'm glad you're here.

We came in at a confusing point in our business with a lot of unanswered questions on where we wanted to go. Beforehand, we felt jumbled all over the place... Now I feel very confident in our offer and I feel way more convicted to sell the clients that we need to get in so they can have results.
Video transcript: I found Isaac and Liv. Isaac and Liv are two of our newest Authority Guild members. They joined just before this retreat. We came in with a confusing point, I think in our business with a lot of unanswered questions on where we wanted to go. Our business strategy has changed a lot on getting more narrow and we changed our offer a little bit based on that. Before we were covering everything that we needed to talk about instead of really targeting down on the one to two things that we can make the biggest difference on. I would say confidence is the biggest thing. Beforehand we felt jumbled all over the place, didn't feel like we were selling gold bars. And now I feel very confident in our offer and I feel way more convicted to sell the clients that we need to get in so they can have the results. Whereas before I didn't feel very convicted because I didn't feel 100% confident in what we had. I'd love to know, just like what would you say to someone who's thinking about joining the Authority Guild? To me, the biggest selling point for why we joined the Authority Guild was because I feel like our biggest risk in the future wasn't necessarily just having information, but having the implementation and also having the community. Because in a time filled with AI, the info is out there, but what's not out there is in person, in person relationships and having these conversations to grow with everyone here. I would say our immediate success with joining your first group was obviously successful and I think it was almost a no brainer to join the higher group. It was like, well, if this one worked, I am sure this next one will definitely work. So. And it already has. We already have so much clarity. So that obviously worked immediately as well. Awesome. That's great. Thank you for sharing that. I'm glad you all are both here.

I host retreats, I attend lots of things, but I think the big differentiator here is the people and sort of this common thread that we all have and that we're all building these authority businesses of a certain size and type—very mission-driven people. And I just love the variety. There's people from different industries with different stages of business, but we have that united purpose. It's just a space for me to just work on my business, not in my business, which is where I think a lot of us get stuck.
Video transcript: I found Dustin. All right, let's see what he has to say. So, Dustin, what would you say to someone who's thinking about joining the Authority Guild? I don't know. Should they do it? Yes. Okay, great. Done. That's a whole. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah. What else do you want to say? Yeah, I mean, for me, I was reflecting on this. I host retreats, I attend lots of things. But I think the big differentiator here is the people and sort of this common thread that we all have in that we're all building these authority businesses of a certain size and type, very mission driven people, and I just love the variety.

Looking for a step-by-step framework to leverage your knowledge in your coaching practice around group coaching? This is 'alpha' and 'omega' for getting it done right, smart and effectively. That simple - and one of the best things to tout with this book? Answer: it's a short, to the point and no fluff. The exact manner a truly helpful business book should be.

John breaks down an industry that is alluring to start and hard to scale in with simplicity. There is so much “how to” content out there about the coaching space, and the barrier of entry is low to get started. What makes John and this book different is that it’s a proven path to profitability - both with your time and your earnings as a coach. This book isn’t just full of steps that will work if you work them, but math that helps you know where to spend your time in sales (service) and marketing (also, service). If you want a mentor and a playbook to scale your expertise, this is it.

I loved that John's book was easy to understand, focused on maximum impact (without unnecessary filler) and most importantly, actionable. To top it off, it also includes access to the tools built on the processes John is teaching in the book. In this book he's provided all the information to get from point A to point Z, and in bite-sized, easily digestible steps.

John's generosity with his knowledge about group coaching is off the chart. At just under 100 pages a good measure of the value of this book comes from how concisely it communicates the essential components of building a group coaching program. John's ideas are tested and verified by his own experience and by students like me. I know it works, because I've booked ten of thousands of dollars worth of memberships in my own program using the system just months after applying these strategies, and I'm just getting started. Any single chapter alone of this book is worth 10X the cover price.

John doesn't hand you theory. He hands you frameworks he's tested hundreds of times, on hundreds of coaches — including me. Every strategy in here is evergreen and every page is actionable. Don't read this book. Work through it. It'll convince you to bet on yourself, help people chase their dreams and improve their lives, and sell your smarts without losing your soul or your Saturdays. If you feel called to coach, buy this book. The world needs more wisdom, not less. P.S. Thanks for making sales fun(serve calls), John.

I haven't only read the 7-step framework that John shares in this book, I've lived it. I have followed this blueprint to grow my own business to six figures in the first year and seven figures the past several years by creating, selling and scaling a profitable group coaching model. John has been a mentor and friend to me in this journey. As I read the pages in this book, I couldn't help but get excited as I thought about all of the other experts who will now have the EXACT plan to grow their own group coaching program to $10K+ per month in a way that supports their lifestyle. This plan works, and this book shares everything you need to implement the plan for your own business.

I had already been in business for over 20 years, but a pending move was forcing me to leverage my ability to earn from home. He taught me how to quickly create small group coaching programs that have earned me over $80,000 in under 2 years. His plan is a simple one that simply works. Learn everything you can from this powerful, generous teacher!

I became a client of John's and can honestly say, this book is worth 100X the investment and maybe even 1000X. Seriously, when you get the book, you're getting the exact framework he shares with his private clients (me). This is the exact playbook to earn $10k per month from group coaching. If you're serious about building a group coaching program, this is the best investment to becoming a SOLD OUT Coach.

John teaches an authentic and simple framework. Thankful to have learned from him - I have already ordered another copy for a friend. What I like most is that each step is clear and attainable if you trust the process.

John's generosity with his knowledge about group coaching is off the chart. At just under 100 pages a good measure of the value of this book comes from how concisely it communicates the essential components of building a group coaching program. John's ideas are tested and verified by his own experience and by students like me. I know it works, because I've booked ten of thousands of dollars worth of memberships in my own program using the system just months after applying these strategies, and I'm just getting started. Any single chapter alone of this book is worth 10X the cover price.

John doesn't hand you theory. He hands you frameworks he's tested hundreds of times, on hundreds of coaches — including me. Every strategy in here is evergreen and every page is actionable. Don't read this book. Work through it. It'll convince you to bet on yourself, help people chase their dreams and improve their lives, and sell your smarts without losing your soul or your Saturdays. If you feel called to coach, buy this book. The world needs more wisdom, not less. P.S. Thanks for making sales fun(serve calls), John.

AMAZING Sold Coach system gave us a pathway through the unknown. We were willing to put in the work, put in the reps, and get to it, but we didn't know what to do or how to do it. We had been doing sales calls but not booking anyone. We had been trying lots of fancy funnels that weren't working. John's simple system is incredible, and once we put it into our business, we started booking clients right away. We were able to do our dream job because of it. If you're on the fence, you need to buy this book and implement the simple system. Too many times we tried to do the crazy, but we just need the simple.

In a world full of coaching hype, John Meese is the real, authentic guide we need as coaches. Everything he teaches comes with such a depth of insight because he has proven it out in his own coaching work. His frameworks have had a profound impact on the way I communicate what I do as a coach and how I operate my coaching business. From my 5+ years as a coach, John's work is the way to go from being a good coach to being one that is sold out.

There are a lot of books about coaching and how to build a prosperous coaching practice. I’ve read and hugely benefited from many of the very best ones. I've also read ones that left saying, "meh." What really stand out about this book is that John has been to the mountaintop. He's not only built but mastered the complicated funnels, mastered the marketing, and done all the things coaches are so often told they must do to succeed. And he's come around the bend and discovered something that, by his own account, really seems to work better: simplicity and service. SOLD OUT Coach doesn’t merely show that it’s possible to dispense with many of the bells and whistles and still build a prosperous coaching practice. It makes a compelling case that this simpler path is actually preferable. John shows how coaches can get closer to the people they serve, focus on work that genuinely helps them, and build something successful without creating an unnecessarily complicated business in the process. John’s story constantly inspires me. So does this book. It's helped me see what is possible in my own coaching practice, and there’s a very good chance it will do the same for you.

In the Authority Guild, we work on the book as a main focus, but the other members (as well as John and his team) have actually helped me to think about the entire Authority business; what that means, what it takes. They're helping me right now to integrate my current businesses. I run several, and they're helping me to make it one cohesive Authority business.
Video transcript: My name is Victor Vo, and I am the author of the upcoming Bet on Scaling, which is the project I'm working on right now in the Authority Guild. I'm a founding member of the Authority Guild, and it's been a very impactful journey. What I mean by that is if you're considering finding the right place to release a book, this would be one of the options I'll throw out to you. If it's actually a place that you're looking for more than just releasing a book, which I was actually pleasantly surprised about, because in the Authority Guild, we work on the book as a main focus. But the other members, as well as John and his team, they've actually helped me to think about the entire Authority business, what that means, what it takes. They're helping me right now to integrate my current businesses. I ran several, and he. They're helping me to make it one cohesive Authority business. So I'm happy to answer any questions as well. You can reach out to me directly, but I can't recommend Authority Guild enough. I will say, though, it is not for everyone, because if you're at a place where you don't think that you want to release a book, or really you're just kind of okay with what you have right now, then maybe the extra support push may be. Well, actually, I take that back. Right. I was trying to be clever there. I love the Authority Guild. I love the team here, and I feel like if you just give a. If you have a conversation with John, myself, or even anybody on the team, you'll see what it's really all about.

Think about whether you want to be a professional for the rest of your life or whether you want to level up and become a master in your craft. If you're the type that wants to master or has already mastered something and you want to communicate that to the world and bless the world with that, you need to join The Authority Guild.
Video transcript: For me, it was really seeing that a book and establishing my authority would be the next step to making the impact that I want to make in the world. And writing a book is such a complex, big endeavor, and it really just. It helps to know that there's a whole bunch of other people in the room with you doing the same thing, going through the same process, and you start, you know, feeding off of each other's energy. You start learning from other people's processes. We're all busy business owners, but actually taking the time to schedule writing a book, I think is a huge step, because everybody wants to write a book, but few ever do. Everything from the tools that John and the team give us and then combined with the peer feedback is so good. The walk and talks, like, just taking time to process out loud. You. You don't get stuck. You. You keep writing. You. You go to your. Your writing assistant and hash things out. You go for a walk and talk. You. You write without edits. And then seeing the steps, you know, I would say overall, just a phenomenal experience. Being in Puerto Rico is amazing, too. An awesome environment to be. To be in. You know, I. I go out on the rooftop there, and I can see the ocean, and it just helps inspire me and give me a vision for what I'm trying to do. You know, it just brings me back to. And the reason why I'm here. If you don't have clarity, you can't clearly communicate what you're trying to bring into the world. So that's one huge piece. And then also realizing may sound counterintuitive, but just realizing that everybody else has the same insecurities that I have, it's like, oh, it's not that big of a deal. I can just push through and do it anyway, because they're all doing it anyway, too. Think about whether you want to be a professional for the rest of your life or whether you want to level up and become, you know, a master in your craft. And if you're. If you're that type that wants to master or has already mastered something and you want to communicate that to the world and bless the world with that, and you need to join the authority guild,

I'm coming home with a renewed excitement around something brand new that I know I'm capable of. If you feel like you need a sign from the universe that this is the time to produce what you've always been meant to produce and write that book, just go for it.
Video transcript: I decided to join the Authority Guild because John Neese has already helped me so much with my small group coaching program that I launched a year ago. When John said, it's time for you to write a book, join the Authority Guild, I was like, oh, shoot, I guess this is the sign. So I couldn't say no. This has been an incredible program. I felt incredibly supported and 100% okay with wherever I was in the process. And even though there are other people in the program who are much further along with their book, I never felt like I was behind or in the wrong room. This week so far in this experience, I have my second table of contents, which is much better than the first one, and I've already started writing three of the chapters, and I just have such clarity on how the others will fall into place. I really live for that feeling of excitement that wakes me up in the morning when I have something to create, and I haven't felt that in a very long time. And I'm coming home with a renewed excitement around something brand new that I know I'm capable of. If you feel like you need a sign from the universe that this is the time to produce what you've always been meant to produce and write that book, just. Just go for it. You are in good hands with John and the community, and you'll be welcomed fully no matter where you are in the process. So the fact that the Authority Guild has been put in front of you means that you're. You're ready. So just take the leap. And it's been far more fun than it has been. Sieri.

About a year ago, I really felt like an imposter, like I don't have a place at the table—but on this retreat, I don't feel any of that. I feel like I deserve to be here. And I feel like I'm starting to own my space.
Video transcript: I've learned that what John says works. So even though I wasn't actually sure it was right for me, right now, I felt like he's never been wrong. When I first started working with John about a year ago, I really felt like an imposter. Like I don't have a place at the table. But on this retreat, I don't feel any of that. I feel like I deserve to be here. And I feel like I'm starting to sort of own my space. Just having the quiet space to write and the dedicated space to write has been amazing because I just don't give myself that time. I don't think anyone does. And second, of all, the people talking about your book, talking about entrepreneurship, mixing with people, it's just been amazing. And then the surroundings. Who wouldn't be inspired? The retreat has been really clearly, solidly planned. And it's also the people in between and dinner at the pool. And those have been amazing conversations. A significant core part of my book changed when I did a walk and talk with John, because I was talking about it in a certain way. And then we came up with this word that. This wording that just landed so well. And then I got so excited. And that's now a thread through the bottom. Actually finishing the book. I finished the book today. Nothing that John and his team have done has been. Has been wrong. Everything is both professional and considers you as a person. You'd be welcome, you'd be nurtured, and you'd end up with a bus.

I've had something I didn't realize I needed: a sequestered space with other like-minded experts who are masters in their own right at what they do. We get this opportunity to come together, work on our work, but then at the same time sharpen ourselves with how others are thinking about presenting their wisdom.
Video transcript: I knew that I had a book inside my head, but I needed a guide to help me unlock it and give me the place, the space and the insights necessary so that I could take my wisdom and make it available for others. And that wasn't something I could, you know, traverse on my own. I needed someone who's been there and done that that could help me get there. And, you know, that was a no brainer to do that with the Authority Guild. You know, my experience has been transformational and principally because I've had something that I didn't realize I needed. I had sequestered space with other like minded experts who are, you know, masters in their own right of what they do. And we get this opportunity to come together, work on our work, but then at the same time sharpen ourselves with how others are thinking about presenting their wisdom. And it's just been an incredible experience to come in with an idea and leave not just with a framework and a manuscript, but, but leave with confidence and the assurance of capability that the thing I'm writing is going to make a real difference in the world. I came in with a framework of an idea and I'm leaving with a title, a book promise, a clear vision of exactly what this book is going to do for those that I serve, and a manuscript that's basically writing itself for me at this point because I'm able to leverage the stories, insights, wisdom and things that I've collected over the years. Drop it right in where it matters most. If you're thinking about writing a book, the answer to that question is yes, you should write it. The thing you should not do is try to do it alone. It is a lonely process, but that's a self inflicted choice and you should not do that. You should partner with someone who cares about unlocking your wisdom not for themselves, but for you and for what that can bring to the world.
