I'm actually due for an updated number because October is when they provide the six-month report.

I'd say somewhere between 30,000 and 35,000 copies of Reinventing You.

That was at the end of April, yes.

So it's been now, you know, what, four or five months?

That has sold now over 6,000 copies so far.

It's actually relatively even in terms of individual versus bulk orders.

The first time around with Reinventing You, I had no clue about the importance of bulk orders, so I didn't really emphasize it.

But for Standout, in advance of the launch, one of the things that I did to tee it up was for months, I would, in preparation, try to get people to, if they were booking a speaking engagement with me, exactly to commit, and then the sale would be triggered immediately.

the first week that the book came out.

So we had, um, somewhere around 1750 or thereabouts, uh, bulk orders for the book, um, you know, on, at the launch.

And, uh, and so since then I've been continuing to drive it, but of course it's in smaller increments, but so there is a fairly large percentage of people who have bought it as individuals.

Speed round.

We're doing it.

So I am following, right at the moment, I would say my friend Michael Port, who is, we'll call him a CEO.

He's sort of a solo consultant, but he has his own empire.

And his new book, Steal the Show,

is out today and he's done a masterful job of promoting it and building up a business around that book.

So I'm watching carefully what he does.

One of my favorites, especially because I'm catching a flight very soon, is TripIt Pro, which is a fantastic business travel app that allows you to store all of your travel information in one place really easily.

You don't have to remember which rental car agency you're using or whatever.
