Expensive pals and allies,
After practically 4 years of pouring my coronary heart and soul into this venture, I’m happy to announce I’m lastly launching my 2nd e-book, 10,000 Hours of Play – Unlock Your Actual-Life Legendary Success.
My first e-book, Actionable Gamification, in distinction, took solely two years to jot down, and I bought over 100,000 copies (it has been referenced by greater than 3,000 PhD theses and educational journals).
I didn’t spend any cash selling my first e-book; the primary yr’s gross sales have been the bottom. Then, yearly after that, it bought higher than the earlier one. This time, I’m investing over $100,000 of my very own funds to advertise 10,000 Hours of Play (10K HP) so extra individuals can take pleasure in it sooner.
I’m launching with a Kickstarter as a result of it permits me to bundle in some perks for my early readers. Much like assembly me at a bodily convention, this would be the solely method to get autographed copies. I may even embrace private Licensed Teaching (so readers can at some point develop into 10K HP Coaches themselves) and Guild Membership to my neighborhood.
The premise of 10K HP is about turning life right into a sport by six steps:
- Step 1: Selecting Your Sport (Mission)
- Step 2: Figuring out Your Attributes (Skills)
- Step 3: Deciding on Your Function (Specialty)
- Step 4: Enhancing Your Expertise (Craft)
- Step 5: Constructing Your Alliances (Community)
- Step 6: Reaching Your Quests (Milestones)
In our analysis, we discovered that each profitable particular person in historical past we studied had these six steps aligned: Gandhi, Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Marie Curie, da Vinci, and others. Curiously, once they had solely 5 of the six steps aligned, they didn’t obtain their legendary standing. Our aim is to encourage about 100 extra of those legendary figures by sharing these confirmed steps for international impression.
In addition to being endorsed by the founders of Zoom, Guitar Hero, Singularity College, Comedian-Con, and plenty of bestselling authors, I’m most stunned that manuscript readers see it as a fantastic reward for his or her children of their late teenagers or early twenties (even a ten-year-old resonated with the ideas).
Considered one of our targets is to develop this right into a Licensed Coach coaching system, the place anybody, wherever, can apply these six steps to others and earn a residing. We purpose to have at the very least one licensed 10K HP Coach in each metropolis on the earth. This might probably be an effective way for readers to generate facet revenue whereas serving to others—and even construct a full-time, profitable profession. We’re simply taking our first step, and I hope this turns into a society-shifting motion.
I respect all of your assist and stay up for being a 10K HP Ally (Step 5) with you!
