In this live YouTube announcement, author Haritosh Srivastav celebrates the upcoming paperback release of his book Small Town Bigger Dreams on 2 November 2021. He explains that today marks exactly 21 days until launch, aligning with the 21 chapters in the book, and launches a self‑imposed 21‑day live‑stream challenge. Over the next three weeks he will go live daily on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube (and possibly Instagram) to share insights, lessons learned, and excerpts from the book, while inviting audience comments, questions, and suggestions. Haritosh highlights the power of asking for help, noting that after reaching out to many people, most have offered assistance with the launch—a point reinforced by a quote about asking and a reference to Mel Robbins’ advice that outreach is essential for success. He reminds viewers that the paperback is already available for pre‑order on Amazon India, provides the link in the comments, and encourages viewers to engage, keep learning, and step out of their comfort zones. The video ends with a promise to return the next day for Day 2 of the challenge.
Chapters
Hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, people who is watching this. Thank you so much for tuning in. I just wanted to come live and make a few announcements. So as many of you already know, I am an author of the book Small Town Bigger Dreams, and there's a big milestone coming up. The paperback edition of The Small Town, Bigger Dreams is launching on 2nd November. So I thought, why not come here and talk to you about that and also announce a few things. So first of all, it's exactly 21 days, uh, to the launch of the book. Uh, so I'm really, really excited. It has been a dream, and especially as I say, as the title of my name— book name says that Small Town, Bigger Dreams. So this small-towner, I don't know whether I had a dream of writing a book a few years ago, but it is getting materialized. So I just wanted to come here and celebrate with you. So thank you so much. And if you are watching this, please feel free to put in your comments from where you are joining. So, uh, the one of the question that came to my mind, and maybe it's also in your mind, is why today? Why now? Why 21 days before that, and what exactly is the challenge. So 21 days before, because I believe 21 is a significant number. In my book also, there are 21 different chapters, uh, which are individual in a, in a way, and you can read one chapter a day if you want to. So I thought this would be a great way to come live and talk to you And the challenge that I've taken on myself is to come live for the next 21 days. Yes, next 21 days. I don't know how I'm going to do that, what I'm going to talk about. But what I intend to do is share some of the insights that is there in the book, share some of the learnings that happened throughout this journey and the lessons. For example, Yesterday I reached out to a lot of people asking for help with this book launch, and I'm so, so blessed, so, so happy that almost all of them have said, yes, we are ready to help you with the book. We are ready to help you launch this book. And this, I believe, is the power of asking. I read a quote somewhere that if you don't ask, the answer is no. I've learned that lesson. I have In the past, I've done so many times that I wanted to have something, but I didn't reach out for help and I did not get any help because I didn't reach out. So this time I reached out to so many folks and they have readily, readily accepted that. What is the, what is the help that they're going to do? Probably let's keep this for a secret for next time, but thank you to all of them. So The plan is that book will be available. It's already available for pre-order in Amazon India if you want to have the paperback edition, but the book will officially launch on 2nd November. So exactly after 21 days, and I'm going to be coming live for a few minutes on the various social media, specifically Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. I'll try try to see if I can come live on Instagram as well. But that's the plan itself. I intend to share a lot of learning source of insights, and I may be repeating myself because I've not prepared anything as such. And I said, let's rather go and talk. And I'll be really looking forward to your feedback, your comments, your suggestions on how we can make this a worthwhile journey. I was reading an email from Mel Robbins. She's She's now the number one bestseller in the world with her new book, The High Five Habit. And she said that, no, unless you reach out to people, you won't get that. And it's also about the journey more than the success. She said, when the book became a bestseller, I didn't feel as happy as I was throughout that journey. So I want to experience that. I want to experience these 21 days, and I want to invite you to be a part of this. I think the link of the preorder is already in the comment, or otherwise I'm going to put it now. But I'm really looking forward to your feedback and your comments and your suggestions and anything specifically you want to cover in this particular live session. I'll be more than happy. So thank you so much. So this was day 1 of 21, 21-day challenge or 21 days to the Small Town Bigger Dreams launch. I will keep you posted, and until next time, as I say always, keep learning, keep growing, and keep going out of your comfort zone. This is Haritosh Srivastav. I'll be back tomorrow. Take care, stay safe.
