Life isn’t about “finding” fulfillment and success – it’s about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture? No longer. ** A Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly Bestseller ** Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition. The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill—it's a habit available to everyone: beginners and lifelong creators, entrepreneurs to executives, astronauts to zookeepers, and everyone in between. Through small, daily actions we can supercharge our innate creativity and rediscover our personal power in life. Whether your ambition is a creative career, completing a creative project, or simply cultivating a creative mindset, Creative Calling will unlock your potential via Jarvis’s memorable “IDEA” system: · Imagine your big dream, whatever you want to create—or become—in this world. · Design a daily practice that supports that dream—and a life of expression and transformation. · Execute on your ambitious plans and make your vision real. · Amplify your impact through a supportive community you’ll learn to grow and nurture.

There is no one else in the world like you. Your personal brand has been registered in your name and patented with your persona even though there may be hundreds of people carrying the same name. Creating, building, and developing your personal brand is entirely in your own hands. Conversely, destroying or diminishing your brand is also only in your own hands. Your brand is the essence of your own unique story. The key to this is reaching deep inside yourself and pulling out the authentic, the unique 'you', from within your own self. What we do with our own brand name could be the difference between being very successful and not so successful. This is as true for personal branding as it is for business branding. The Brand Called You outlines how critical it is for each one of us to understand the power and vulnerabilities of our brand and invest wisely and consistently in our persona and our name. Remember, the only legacy you will leave behind in the world is your name.

There's nothing secret or mysterious about a successful book launch (or a podcast or product launch). It's simply calendar-focused attention to your goals. "Launching your book, podcast or product doesn't have to be confusing or overwhelming. Mike breaks down the process and makes it easy to succeed." - Jared Easley, Author and Founder of PodcastMovement: www.PodcastMovement.com I developed this strategy with books, but have also had success in launching podcasts, online courses, and other products. This planner is concise and packed with practical tips. - How to clarify your true goals - Make sure you have the right brand foundation - How to ask for (and receive) endorsements from influencers - Templates for emails to your launch team I didn't invent the concept of a book launch, but want clients to succeed based on what I've learned. I have been a part of many book, brand, product, podcast, and brand launches-and led several for my clients. I've helped launch two successful New York Times bestseller campaigns, and every Amazon campaign I've led resulted in at least one #1 rank. If this planner helps you gain just one big endorsement, it's worth it. If this helps you sell three more books, your investment in this resource will double. "But I'm a writer, not a marketer. And I hate doing sales!" That's exactly why you need a proven strategy, and detailed plan. Most writers are not great marketers, but that does not mean they can't follow a plan, add their own personality, and enjoy reaching more people with their words. (By the way, telling your story is the essence of marketing, and introducing people to something that will improve their lives is the essence of sales.) "What if I already released my book?" There's a big difference between a release and a launch. The good news is, you can launch, or re-launch, your book any time.
