Here’s what you’ll find on my profile:

→ Actionable content strategies for LinkedIn growth

I bootstrapped my publishing business to over $1MM in royalties. 

I specialize in helping others do the same.

Financial security always seemed like a distant dream.

Growing up with a single mom on welfare taught me early lessons about resilience and the value of opportunity.

Fast forward to my mid-20s:

I was working brutal 12-hour shifts at the port (4 days on, 4 days off)...

Feeling trapped in the employee mindset that I'd been conditioned to accept.

Then I discovered the world of publishing.

My first breakthrough came when I published a simple book and watched in amazement as royalties started flowing in - without trading more hours for dollars.

But the real game-changer?

January 2015, when I pivoted to high-quality cookbooks.

This generated over $10,000 in a single month.

That was more than I'd ever made before.

And it was just the beginning.

Today, I've:

• Built a 7-figure publishing business spanning both fiction and non-fiction
• Successfully exited one of my publishing ventures
• Developed a proven 4-step system that's helped hundreds achieve publishing success
• Maintained consistent success in this space for 8+ years

But here's what makes me different:

While others push get-rich-quick schemes or celebrate one-hit wonders, I've developed a sustainable approach to building real publishing assets that generate long-term wealth.

My signature "Six Figure Foundations" process helps authors:

• Create high-quality books that consistently generate 5-star reviews
• Build valuable publishing brands (not just one-off titles)
• Position their portfolio for potential six-figure exits
• Achieve this while working just 5-10 hours per week

The reality?

Publishing is changing.

AI is transforming the industry, and reader expectations are higher than ever.

But that's created an unprecedented opportunity.

Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman discovered something shocking:

You have two brains that make every decision.

This will change how you understand every decision you'll ever make: 

1. The Two Systems of Thinking

Kahneman discovered two distinct modes of thinking:

System 1 (Fast Thinking):

• Intuitive & automatic
• Emotional & effortless
• Makes quick decisions

System 2 (Slow Thinking):

• Rational & effortful
• Deliberate & logical
• Solves complex problems

We mostly use System 1, but it's prone to errors.

System 2 can catch these mistakes, but requires energy & focus.

2. Cognitive Biases & Heuristics

Our brains use mental shortcuts (heuristics) for quick decisions.

But these create systematic errors:

Here are a few:

1) Anchoring Bias:
Relying too heavily on the first piece of information

2) Availability Heuristic:
Judging probability by what easily comes to mind

3) Confirmation Bias:
Seeking information that confirms existing beliefs

Understanding these biases helps us think more rationally.

3. The Illusion of Understanding

We think we understand the world far better than we do.

Our minds create coherent stories from limited information, leading to overconfidence in our:

• Knowledge
• Predictions
• Understanding

Lesson:

Be skeptical of your certainty.

The world is more random than you think.

4. Prospect Theory & Loss Aversion

People process gains & losses differently:

1) Loss Aversion:
Losses hurt about twice as much as equivalent gains feel good

2) Framing Effect:
How choices are presented changes decisions ("90% survival" vs "10% death")

This explains many irrational financial decisions.

5. The Planning Fallacy

We consistently:

• Underestimate task completion time
• Overestimate our efficiency
• Ignore past experiences

Kahneman's solution:

Study similar past projects for realistic estimates.

6. The Halo Effect

We judge everything about someone based on one prominent trait:

• Attractive people seem smarter
• Successful companies seem better managed
• Well-dressed people appear more competent

Lesson:

Judge situations on data, not impressions.

7. The "Econs" vs "Humans" Model

Traditional economics assumes rational people ("Econs").

Reality shows we're emotional & impulsive ("Humans").

This insight created behavioral economics:

Understanding why real decisions deviate from rational models.

8. How to Think Better

To avoid fast thinking traps:

• Slow down for important decisions
• Recognize & adjust for biases
• Question your assumptions
• Consider the outside view
• Use data over intuition

Look at how similar situations played out before.

The Bottom Line

Understanding how your brain works is the key to better decisions in:

• Relationships
• Business
• Finance
• Life

Generated $1M+ with Amazon Publishing | Girl Dad x2 | Free KDP MasterClass on Dec 1 👇

No alternative text description for this image

This video of a 65-year-old man is going mega-viral.

He gets asked:

“What’s something you thought was really important when you were younger...

you now realize isn’t ACTUALLY important?”

& It made me think...

Today's younger generation believes that happiness comes from:

• More money
• Fancy clothes
• Expensive cars

But this man emphasizes what really matters:

• Relationships
• Time with loved ones
• Knowing when you have enough

You see…

By no means would I consider myself rich.

I do make a comfortable living self-publishing books...

But I consider myself rich in other ways:

I have a beautiful family & great health.

Like the man in the video…

My goal is to spend as much time with my family as possible.

The older you get, the more you realize:

Time > money.

Working 24/7 to make more money but having 0 time to spend with family...

Leads to a sad life.

Sometimes people don't realize this until it's too late...

Luckily I realized it when I was 30.

Now I get to spend my time:

• With my family
• Prioritizing my health
• Being there for my kids as they grow up

This is what matters most to me.

These are the kinds of videos we need to see more of on the internet.

What do you think about this man's answer?

Do you agree with him?

HUGE announcement from Trump:

90% of Americans will receive a $2,000 dividend check.

Most people will see this as “free money”

Smart people will see this as an opportunity.

If I were you...

Here’s exactly how I’d turn $2,000 into a $3,000/month cash-flowing machine:

Step 1: Niche Research ($0)

You don't need to spend a dime here.

Go to Amazon, look at bestselling books in categories like health, self-help, business.

Find a niche where:

• Books are selling consistently
• Competition isn't impossible
• You can target a specific audience

This takes 2-3 hours max.

Step 2: Outsource the Writing ($800-$1,200)

Don't write the book yourself.

Use a ghostwriting service or Fiverr.

Budget breakdown:

• Content: $600-$1,000
• Cover design: $100-$150
• Formatting: $75-$100

Quality matters. You're building an asset, not cutting corners.

Step 3: Launch Setup ($200-$400)

This covers:

• Optimized product page creation
• Amazon ads for first 30 days
• Promotional site setup

The goal is to get reviews and momentum fast.

Step 4: Rinse & Repeat ($500 for book #2)

Once book one is making money, use those royalties to fund book two.

You don't need your own money anymore.

Here's what success looks like:

Book launches on Day 1 
→ 30 days of targeted ads 
→ 50-100 reviews 
→ Organic ranking kicks in 
→ $1,500-$3,000/month from one book

That's your $3K target right there.

But most people miss this because they think:

• "I have to write it myself"
• "I need to build an audience first"
• "It's too saturated"
• "I don't know enough about publishing"

All excuses.

The system works. You just have to execute it.

Real talk though:

$2,000 only covers 1-2 books depending on quality.

If you want to build a real business making $5K-$10K/month, you'd need multiple books.

But starting with one is perfectly fine.

Get that first win. Build momentum. Scale from there.

If you want to learn the exact process I use to publish high-quality books consistently…

DM me “SYSTEM” & I’ll get you up to speed.

& Follow me for more tips like this.

Anyone can publish a book on Amazon & make $3,000/month from it.

I've been doing this for the last 10 years...

The best part?

I've never written a single book.

Here's exactly how I've made $1,000,000+ on Amazon (& how you can too):


1. Find a Profitable Book Idea

Not all books make money.

Here's how to find one that does:

• Use BookBeam to see what's selling
• Look for self-published books with good sales potential
• Focus on evergreen niches (health, business, relationships, finance, etc.)

Once you've found a niche with demand, move on to the next step.


2. Get the Book Written (Without Writing a Word)

You don't need to be an author…

You just need a system.

Here's how I do it:

• Hire a ghostwriter on Upwork or Fiverr
• Use AI writing tools to assist with outlines & drafts
• Focus on creating high-quality, valuable content

In a few weeks, you'll have a fully written book.


3. Design a Professional Cover

A bad cover kills sales.

Your book needs to look like a bestseller.

Here's what I do:

• Use Canva to create a simple cover
• Hire a pro on Fiverr for a professional design
• Model your design after top-selling books in your niche


4. Format & Upload Your Book to Amazon KDP

Amazon makes self-publishing stupidly easy.

• Format your book properly for both digital and print
• Upload it to KDP(.)Amazon(.)com (paperback, eBook, or both)
• Set your price between $2.99 - $9.99 for max royalties

Once approved, your book is ready to start earning.


5. Launch & Market Your Book

Your book won't sell itself.

Here's how to get early traction:

• Set your book to FREE initially to gain early downloads
• Use promotion sites to spread the word
• Run Amazon Ads to stay visible in searches


6. Make Your Book Passive Income

Once your book ranks, you'll start seeing daily passive income.

• Books on Amazon sell for years without extra work
• Some books make $2,000-$5,000/month each
• Repeat the process to scale past $10k/month


7. Turn One Book into Multiple Income Streams

Don’t think of this as “just publishing a book”...

Think of it as a business.

• Create audiobooks & sell them on Audible
• Offer a course or coaching based on your book
• License your book to foreign markets for extra royalties


Final Thought:

Most people waste years dreaming of writing a book.

But today, anyone can self-publish one (without having to write it yourself)

I've done it 300+ times and made over $1,000,000 in royalties.

& if I can do it... you can too.

If you want to learn more about how you can self-publish on Amazon KDP...

DM me "Amazon" & I'll show you how.

Don't spend $1000 on the newest XBOX for your kids.

Instead, spend $500 to create a children's book on Amazon that profits $2000/month.

It can pay for their college, allowance, & birthday presents.

Here's how to do it:


The children's book market is huge.

Parents are always looking for books that teach & entertain their kids.

& I know someone in my program who uses AI to create children's books with AI-generated images.

They have a template down & create beautiful books fast.


Step 1: Find Your Profitable Niche

Look for books that are:

• Simple educational concepts
• Self-published
• Selling well right now
• Have room for improvement

Use BookBeam to research what's working.

This is the same process I use for any profitable niche.


Step 2: Keep the Content Simple

Children's books need:

• Clear educational value
• Simple, repetitive language
• Maybe 1000 words max
• Age-appropriate themes

The content volume is much lower than typical non-fiction books.

Makes them faster to create.


Step 3: Use AI for Creation

ChatGPT can help with:

• Story outlines
• Simple, repetitive text
• Educational themes

Then use AI image tools for illustrations.

Someone I know creates beautiful images this way & their books look professional.


Step 4: Professional Quality Matters

You still need:

• Great cover design
• Proper formatting
• Quality throughout

Don't skip the fundamentals just because it's a children's book.

Quality is what separates profitable books from the rest.


Step 5: Follow the Same Launch Process

Use my proven launch plan:

• Start with reviews
• Use Amazon ads
• Get visible fast
• Maintain ranking

The marketing fundamentals don't change whether it's children's books or business books.


Step 6: Build a Series

Once you have one book working:

• Create more in the same style
• Same characters, different lessons
• Build a catalog in that niche

This is how you get to $2000/month from children's books.


The investment breakdown:

Medium content book: $50-$300 Quality illustrations: $200-$400


Total: Around $500

If done right, you never lose money on a book.

Some hit positive ROI in the first month.


I've published over 300 books & made $1,000,000+ in royalties.

The process works across niches when you focus on quality & follow proven systems.

Children's books are just another profitable category.

So, remember:


Your kids will outgrow that XBOX.

But a profitable book can generate income for years.

& they'll have something with their name on it forever.

The key is treating this like a real business.

Not just throwing something together & hoping it works.


If you want to learn more about the exact system I've used to make $1,000,000 doing this...

DM me "Ready" & I'll give you the details.

I turn 45 next week.

Here are 10 things I’d tell my 25 year-old self:


1. Motivation is a scam, do this instead:

Stop relying on willpower.

Create rituals instead:

• Daily publishing work
• Weekly content planning
• Monthly business review

When you don't have to think about it, it gets done.

Pre-deciding removes mental friction.


2. Focus on your vision.

Most people focus on goals. But goals change.

Instead, ask yourself:

• What kind of life do you want?
• What matters most to you?
• What does freedom mean to you?

Building a vision based on your values means you're always moving forward.


3. Put 80% of your energy into ONE thing.

For me, it was publishing.

But I still tested other things like:

• Niche sites
• Affiliate marketing
• Online courses

Think of it like ordering at a restaurant: 

Pick your main dish, but try a couple appetizers too.


4. Your biggest breakthroughs usually come right after things feel like they're falling apart.

When I was working 6pm-6am shifts, publishing felt impossible.

But I kept going.

Remember: 

The downturns get shorter. The wins get bigger. 

Just don't quit.


5. Most decisions aren't permanent.

I used to stress about every choice like it was life or death.

Then I realized: If publishing failed, I could always go back to my old job.

That mindset freed me to take bigger swings.

Move fast, collect feedback, adjust, repeat.


6. Focus on building good processes.

Sometimes you'll make the right call and still get bad results.

That's just life.

What matters is improving your decision-making system.

Results come from consistent, quality choices over time.


7. Business isn't black and white.

Think in probabilities:

• What could go right?
• What could go wrong?
• What's most likely?

This helps you prepare for multiple scenarios instead of betting everything on one outcome.


8. Choosing the right partner is about the future, not just the present.

Look for someone who:

• Shares your values
• Supports your vision
• Grows with you

The right person makes your future bigger, not smaller.


9. Having kids changed everything for me.

Suddenly, I couldn't waste time on:

• Half-baked ideas
• Things that don't move the needle
• Projects without clear ROI

Children force you to focus on what actually matters:

• Cash flow
• Systems
• Time freedom


10. Your circle has to evolve as you grow.

Not everyone will understand why you:

• Work on your business at 5am
• Skip happy hour to write
• Reinvest instead of buying toys

Find people who reflect where you're going, not where you've been.


Building a publishing business changed my life.

But looking back, I could have gotten here faster if I knew these lessons.

I just turned 45 years old...

Here are 12 lessons I've learned after making $1,000,000 as a one-man business:

300+ books in… people ask how I stay motivated to keep publishing.

I don't.

Motivation is for amateurs.

I have systems that run whether I'm motivated or not:

Weekly niche reviews
Monthly publishing targets
Quarterly profit analysis

The business runs itself now.

Which means I can spend my time doing what I’m truly motivated to do:

*Must Follow*

Here’s How to Self-Publish a Book in Only 7 Days (Save This):

Don't invest in crypto.
Don't start a dropshipping store.
Don't buy another rental property.

Instead, spend $500 creating 1 book that pays you $2,000 every month.

Here's how it works:


Most people chase the latest business trends.

I focus on something boring that actually works.

Here's the difference:


Crypto? Volatile & stressful to manage.

Dropshipping? Supplier issues & thin margins.

Real estate? Requires huge capital & ongoing maintenance.

But a single book?

No overhead, no inventory, no headaches.


Here's my $500 book creation breakdown:

• Ghostwriter: $300
• Professional cover: $150
• Editing & formatting: $0
• Launch marketing: $50
• Total investment: $500


The average book makes $3,000/month within 90 days.

That's a 600% ROI in the first month alone.

& unlike that MacBook, it doesn't depreciate. It compounds.

The process is simple:


1. Find a profitable niche using BookBeam 

Look for categories with demand but not oversaturated. 

I target niches with 100+ reviews on competing books but less than 50 similar titles.


2. Hire a quality ghostwriter 

I use the same 3 ghostwriting companies for consistency. 

They handle research, outline, and full manuscript. 

Takes 3-4 weeks.


3. Get a professional cover designed 

Your cover sells the book. 

I spend $100+ on designers who understand Amazon's algorithm and what makes readers click.


4. Launch with my proven system 

Free promotions for 5 days to build momentum, then strategic Amazon ads. 

Reviews start flowing, rankings improve.


5. Collect monthly royalties 

Once it's live, it works 24/7. 

No inventory, no customer service, no shipping. 

Pure passive income.


I've published over 300 books using this exact method.

Total revenue: $1,000,000+

& I didn't write a single word myself.

The best part?

You can start this weekend.

While others are shopping for things that drain their bank account...

You'll be building assets that fill it.
