A lot of people think the title ‘How To Be Rich and Happy’ is a bit cheesy. In fact some think it is downright misleading, especially with a subheading of,
“Whatever you want, whenever you want”
They don’t believe there is a formula to a rich and happy life and to say otherwise just promotes false hope.
I get that a lot more than you may think (unless you know me well) because I had the same thoughts when John suggested it to me as a title over 2 years ago.
Now however, I absolutely love it!
It’s provocative, thought provoking and totally ballsy. In fact, I think my initial skepticism was caused by the concern that people might think it was a scam rather than because I didn’t believe in the premise.
The reality is, it no longer matters. The first 4,000 books are now printed so there’s no turning back even if we wanted to, and we most definitely do not!
To start with we believe totally in the book, but more than that, we believe in the project to giveaway 1,000,000 copies to good causes. Oh, and we’re also having a load of fun into the bargain.
After several false starts that just go to show goals really do have to be flexible, we’re finally at ground zero with our project to giveaway 1,000,000 copies of How To Be Rich and Happy.
We have a very limited amount (approximately 750) of signed first edition copies to sell.
We’re looking to raise enough money from the pre-sale so we can order the next batch before we start giving the first ones away. This way we don’t run the risk of running out and killing the momentum.
So what’s in it for you?
As of May 10th How To Be Rich and Happy will retail at $25, but we’re offering the first 750 copies at $19.99 with free worldwide shipping for anybody that orders 3 or more. A saving of $5 and free shipping is nice, especially if you’re overseas, but it’s way better than that.
You also get a signed first edition copy of a future best-seller!
You may think that’s arrogant bullshit as the book hasn’t sold a copy in traditional format yet, and you’d be right, it is a little bit arrogant.
However, my opinion is if we don’t believe in the content 100% we should still be doing re-writes until we did.
But it’s more than that, we’ve had over 30 reviews, all of them excellent, lots and lots of brilliant feedback from people that bought the e-book, and the rights have already been sold for the French language version with a German publisher very interested.
By the way, we could sell the rights into the US tomorrow, but that would kill the goal and we’re not about to do that.
So we’re putting the 750 up for sale for 2 weeks only. However, I’m convinced they will be gone way quicker than that as John has way more subscribers to his mailing list than I have readers of my blog and has sold many tens of thousands of his own books, and the interest has been amazing.
So don’t mess around pondering the meaning of life when you can have a book that will help you find out the meaning of YOUR life.
Note: We can NOT sign copies with individual messages. I’m really sorry about this, but John and I will be doing this at different times and the logistics would be crazy.
