Welcome to the Entrepreneurial Author Course. I'm really excited to have you here, and I can't wait to show you the deep knowledge that I've gained after a decade of entrepreneurship and the hard lessons I received publishing my first book that will help you become the best selling author you dream of becoming. This course contains everything I wish I had known and the skills that were required to bring my award-winning book to success.

So here's a quick overview of the course. Becoming an author is a phenomenal way to elevate your brand, your authority, as well as a product and service. Whether or not you're planning a fiction or non-fiction book, if a book is truly your passion, if it's something that you've been working toward for a long period of time, you need this course.

Again, "best selling author" includes an entrepreneurial mindset in order to conduct the marketing necessary to achieve the sales, reach, and status that you desire.

Don't forget to download the accompanying guides. You'll be prompted to do so throughout the course, but I want to make sure you look for them every time, as the guides are the cornerstone of this course. Also, please join us in the Disruptive Entrepreneurs Society on Facebook. I've curated the group to create a great sounding board for you.

And again, don't forget to take copious notes. There is going to be a lot of information that I provide in the lectures that aren't in the slides. So, in proper author fashion, definitely get that pen and paper out.

This course is for entrepreneurs who want to have a book that elevates their brand or business or fiction writers who want to see their book have a far reach; but it's also for authors who have launched a book and don't know what to do next, or authors who are in the middle of planning a book and aren't sure how to get it in front of people to make sure that it gets seen and sold. This is a huge gap for authors, especially if you're someone like me who has been writing since you were young. We get caught up in the romance of writing, and not in the selling and marketing of a book. And that means that our dreams often don't come true because we didn't know how to go from writing and publishing to selling. So that's what this course is going to do for you.

What's not going to be covered in this course is how to write your book or manuscript. We all have our own methodology for writing and that's great. I'm not going to be teaching how to write in this course. I may mention a few tips, but really the point of this course is to convey how important entrepreneurial thinking is to becoming a best selling author.

Yes, the writing has to be good, but there are wonderful resources and wonderful groups already available to you, including books by Anne Lamott, Stephen King, and Julia Cameron, and writer's conference like that put on by HerStry. These resources are phenomenal will truly help you become a better writer and get the writing portion done.

If you would like to connect with me personally I certainly have some suggestions on Facebook groups and collaborative groups that will help you with your writing, so if you're really stuck on the writing part, definitely feel free to reach out to me for a complimentary session, but this course is not designed to help you write. This course is designed to help you learn the tenants of entrepreneurship to become a best selling author.
