You've told more people about this book than you've written pages of it.

You have described it at dinners. On podcasts. To a stranger on a plane who was extremely polite about it.

The Bestseller Blueprint is the advice I would give you if you asked. Okay, even if you didn't. 6 parts, about 40 minutes. Everything I'd tell you in the first hour of a coaching call.

A word on the numbers

Every figure in it is sourced

Publishing runs on statistics nobody checks. The most viral one of the last 3 years, the claim that half of all books sell fewer than a dozen copies, came from a lawyer's framing during an antitrust trial, got amplified by a Substack post, and was never corrected. Circana's own analyst tried to reproduce it and could not come close. The real figure is 14.7%.

Where the honest answer is that nobody actually knows, I say so. That happens more often than the internet would suggest. You are going to make expensive decisions off this information. It should be true.
