This was a surreal moment for me — the first book my publishing company @newwavepress.co produced is in Times Square.

When I released my first book with a major publisher in 2017 (Rich20Something), I was upset that we got so close to hitting the New York Times list and just missed by a small margin.

That chip on my shoulder is part of the reason I started New Wave — because I knew there was more that publishers could do to support their authors.

Missed the Times list, but made Times square. I’ll take it.

I could not have been happier to share this moment with @jamesswanwick, my friend of 10+ years and all around great guy who has been instrumental in helping me on my journey.

His book CLEAR is a guide to help high achievers quit drinking. I love that the work we’re doing is having such a positive impact on the world as well as being immensely personally fulfilling.

This new phase of my career feels great. I’m incredibly excited about all the projects we have in the pipeline. At least 20 more books will be dropping over the next 12 months.

I’m making a living doing what I love. My wife, mom, dad, and grandma are proud.

That’s winning, baby!

PS: the irony that the book on quitting alcohol is next to the alcohol ad is not lost on me. PPS: feel free to DM me if you’re an entrepreneur who wants to write a book that will elevate your business — and you need a publisher who will work hard to sell and market your book for years to come.

Did you know that my first book made $500,000+ the day it dropped....but I didn't see a dollar 💵?

(Don't cry for me, I more than made up for it on the back end...)

However...I was on the phone yesterday with an entrepreneur who is really excited about publishing a money / investing book he's working on for 2025. On the call, we were reviewing how @newwavepress.co works with our authors and it dawned on me...

Most people have no idea that there are three different ways you can publish your book: traditional, independent or self-published.

If you want to have the highest quality, most control and biggest ROI from your book, you need to understand the differences and choose wisely. I break it all down in this video. And if you are an entrepreneur or expert who is ready to become a bestselling author by publishing a professionally produced, top-tier book…send me a DM with the word “Publish” and I’ll share more about the process with you. I love this stuff!

Thoughts about the mental component of entrepreneurship. BTS updates on @newwavepress.co 🌊

The two-day Q4 board meeting for @newwavepress.co is complete — here’s some BTS. @isaac_lipscomb flew in from LA so that we could plan out all the releases for our incredible authors in 2026. We got crystal clear on marketing rollouts and all the operational support we’ll need to hit our targets. We also met with New Wave author and advisor @ryanleslie to go over the launch of his upcoming book The WealthPlan way — a premium free release based on the principles he teaches inside his private club @wealthplan.co. 2026: LFG.

So this is pretty cool...just checked the stats. As of today, @jamesswanwick's book CLEAR is selling 10-20 copies per day across all formats ORGANICALLY since it's release in April of this year.

We haven’t turned on any paid traffic yet. We haven’t engaged any influencers to push it. We haven’t gotten any corporate bulk sales. This is all being driven via word of mouth because the book itself is a stellar product. That puts it in the top 2-3% of books who sell that many copies in their lifetime. Imagine once we turn on the ad spend. Woof.

This means 10-20 people per day are deeply engaging with James' message of the alcohol-free lifestyle for FREE...and these readers are that much closer to working with his team to change their lives. All because they are connecting with his work through the book. These are the absolute best types of leads to have, especially when you're offering a high-ticket product or service.

Keep in mind: you don't need to sell that many copies of a book to make a ton of money on the back end. If you are charging thousands to work with people, it doesn't take long for readers to snowball into hundreds of thousands...or millions of dollars in ROI.

I know because I've seen it happen in my own career.

If you want to learn to publish a book that functions as an asset for your business by consistently generating customers, I'm teaching a live Zoom on December 18th that walks through how I've done exactly that with 3 of my books...and how we've implemented that system for our authors at @newwavepress.co.

My unpopular opinion: you’re not an authority in your space unless you’re a published author with a full-length, professionally produced book that is available worldwide for purchase in all formats.

Sorry, not sorry. I said what I said.

So, your social media is popping. Who cares? At best, you’re an expert. At worst, you’re a mere content creator.

But if you don’t have a book, you can’t be the leader in your little slice of the market.

There’s a reason why “author” is the root word of authority.

That’s exactly why I’m teaching a free class called The Million Dollar Author Formula on Saturday, November 29th at 12pm ET.

During the class, you’ll discover how entrepreneurs and experts can publish a book that generates at least one million dollars through clients, cashflow, and career opportunities. I highly recommend you sign up.

The link is in my bio or comment “AUTHOR” and I’ll send it to you. Seats are limited to 300 people. via @newwavepress.co

I said what I said. @newwavepress.co

[SAVE THIS] I’ve written 3 books so far. Each one has taught me something different about the publishing, marketing and monetization process as an entrepreneur. This post shares my biggest lessons from each release.

My first book, @rich20something, is an international bestseller published in multiple langauges. It opened the door to many opportunities because of how far it reached...but it came with downsides.

My second book is in a completely different vertical and it’s not well-known by my core audience. It’s called @strengthofseduction.

My most recent release is a philosophy book called @thetrueartifact. I held onto it for over 5 years, scared to release it, because my agent and publisher were not interested in helping me produce it.

I’m grateful because it’s only through these lessons that I’ve been able to start my publishing imprint @newwavepress.co.

Our job is to help you turn the credibility and authority from your book into a stepping stone that supports you in reaching your biggest goals.

It’s all about you, as it should be.

We take a true partnership approach writing, designing, producing and marketing your life’s work. Authors pay up front to work with us, and we give a 70/30 split favoring the author as sales come in.

Plus you get full creative control, access to the same caliber of production that traditional publishing offers — and you own your intellectual property forever.

If you’re a top-performing entrepreneur or expert who is ready to level up your career by publishing a world-class book in 2026, we can help.

DM me “Publish” and I’ll reach out to see if you’re a good fit to be the next New Wave author.

My first book, @rich20something, is an international bestseller published in multiple langauges. It opened the door to many opportunities because of how far it reached...but it came with downsides.

My second book is in a completely different vertical and it’s not well-known by my core audience. It’s called @strengthofseduction.

My most recent release is a philosophy book called @thetrueartifact. I held onto it for over 5 years, scared to release it, because my agent and publisher were not interested in helping me produce it.

I’m grateful because it’s only through these lessons that I’ve been able to start my publishing imprint @newwavepress.co.

Our job is to help you turn the credibility and authority from your book into a stepping stone that supports you in reaching your biggest goals.

It’s all about you, as it should be.

We take a true partnership approach writing, designing, producing and marketing your life’s work. Authors pay up front to work with us, and we give a 70/30 split favoring the author as sales come in.

Plus you get full creative control, access to the same caliber of production that traditional publishing offers — and you own your intellectual property forever.

If you’re a top-performing entrepreneur or expert who is ready to level up your career by publishing a world-class book in 2026, we can help.

Most people think you have to sell thousands (or millions?) of copies to make any meaningful money from a book...but that’s a myth.

In my experience, the real money isn’t in one-time book sales—it’s in what you build around the work.

The real revenue driver from creative work is made on the back end: the products and services that readers buy into once they know, like, and trust you. It’s all in the followup game.

This is exactly the mindset innovators like ​@nipseyhussle​ and @ryanleslie have been preaching for years.

Ownership is everything.

The only way to build a sustainable business from your creative work is to create your own systems for collecting customer info, contacting them, and deepening the relationship over time.

That’s what Ryan has been focused on at @superphone for over a decade. He even helped Nipsey launch one of the most successful DTC campaigns in music history called Proud2Pay, which was birthed from a desire to challenge record label dependency.

At @newwavepress.co, we’re standing on the shoulders of giants. We’ve taken a page out of Nipsey and Ryan’s book by helping authors directly own the relationship with their readers—and because we also manufacture + ship our books in-house (not just print on demand), we also get customer information from Amazon, which is an absolute game changer.

I’d rather have 1,000 customers in my own database that I can contact on a anytime I want than 10,000 people who’ve purchased my work, but I cannot follow up with.

When you own the customer relationship, you own the income stream.

That’s it for today.
