#Episode 1: The Year I Funded My Book and Built a Thriving Platform
How it all started...
I made a critical mistake.
I’d always dreamed of writing a book that would not only inspire others but also serve as the launchpad for a thriving platform and business I could be proud of. I was excited to share my story and expertise, believing this book could change lives—including my own.

But as I dove in, I quickly realized the reality: publishing wasn’t cheap. Editing, design, printing, marketing—it all added up fast. Then came the unexpected costs of PR, ads, and building a platform.
I’ll never forget the day I hit my breaking point.
I was sitting at my desk, overwhelmed by mounting invoices, trying to figure out how to keep moving forward when my child walked in, asking if I could come play. I snapped, saying I didn’t have time. The disappointment on their face broke me.
In that moment, I realized the path I was on wasn’t sustainable. I was chasing a dream, but it was costing me everything else. Something had to change.

I was in the middle of a launch and focused on re-writing 11 pages of copy for the seventh time in a row, when the phone rang with a call from my daughter’s school.
It was an early dismissal day, and even though it was on my calendar, I completely spaced out. I forgot to pick her up from school like I’d promised.
When it finally clicked, my mind was blown.
Just when I was ready to give up, I came across a strategy through my publisher —a way to fund my book through collaborations and sponsorships before it was even published.
It sounded almost too good to be true, but I decided to give it a shot.
And then it worked.
In fact, it worked so well that I raised $91,000 before my book was even printed. That funding covered my publishing costs, allowed me to attend marketing retreats, and even gave me the resources to hire professionals for PR, photos, video and a marketing agency.
But it didn’t stop there.
The success of my book collaborations helped me build a thriving platform, scale my business, and create an online course that grew to 7 figures—all while continuing to monetize the book itself.

A Method That Works.
The process I created—one that worked for me and others—is called Beyond the Book.
It’s a proven system that helps authors fund their books, grow their platforms, and scale their businesses before their books are even published.
The key? Leveraging strategic collaborations and partnerships to not only cover costs but create opportunities for lasting growth.
Without this process, you’ll likely face the same challenges I did—working too hard, running over budget, and feeling stuck with no clear path forward.
Beyond the Book Allowed Me to Achieve My Dream.
I built a 7-figure business that generates predictable, scalable revenue—all while being fully present for the things that matter most.
If you’re ready to fund your book and create the platform and business you’ve always dreamed of, I’d love for you to join me.
I’ve created a free training that reveals the exact process I used—and that’s helped hundreds of other authors—turn their books into thriving platforms.
