Chapters
I'm giving away 10 copies of my book. What's up, Believe Nation? I'm excited. I got all those books that I have that I need to figure out what to do with, and my first plan is I'm going to give away 10 of them. That's one box. 10 of them to you guys, I want to see something special. So here's the rules. Here's what I want to do. I'm gonna give away 10 books. I'm gonna sign them. I'm gonna put a special message in each of the books. So these will be one-of-a-kind, hardcover, signed, special message book. Special message book. Did I say that right? Special message book for you guys. And we're gonna do a giveaway contest. I'm super pumped on it. What I want you guys to do is make a tribute using your art to the book. I want you to pay tribute to the book in some way using your art. So if you're a YouTuber, make a video about the book. If you are an artist, draw the book. If you're a singer, sing something about the book. If you're a graphic designer, make a beautiful graphic about the book. If you are a coder, program something about the book. Whatever it is, whatever your art is, I love art. I want you to Funnel your art and creative talents to make some kind of tribute to the book. I want to see that. The deadline is going to be the end of the year. It's got to be in before December 31st. You can link it up in the comments below. Put a link to whatever the resource is. If it's to a YouTube video, if it's to a webpage, whatever, put a link down in the comments so we can track it. I don't know if I'm going to judge or I'll leave it open to the— to you guys to judge, or some kind of combination. I haven't figured out those details yet, but I am so pumped. I can't wait to give away 10 copies. I want to see what kind of art you guys can create. I'm confident that the Believe Nation has some amazingly talented entrepreneurs who are going to pour some love and creativity into making an amazing tribute for the book. Link it up below. You have until the end of the year. I want to see it, a personalized, signed, with a message copied from me right to your mailbox. Let's do it, guys. Send it down. I'm curious to find out. All right, with that excitement behind us, let me get to the questions and comments that you had from last week's video. First up, Rose Tan: "Remember when Oprah and Eckhart Tolle did a worldwide live webinar, 10 weeks, 1 chapter a week, live Q&A? That would be awesome, Evan." So Rose, that's the plan. I haven't announced the dates for it, but I'm gonna do There's 7 chapters in the book. There's a conclusion, intro, a bunch of other stuff, but 7 chapters in the book. And I'm going to do a 7-week program for free, probably Monday afternoons. That's when my usual book time, my book video slot is. And yeah, that may continue. Maybe I'll bring on special guests to talk about their one word. Maybe I'll bring on people from, who've bought the book and have questions. I don't know what to do like after the 7. Maybe we repeat it again. The people who weren't able to join the first time. But for sure, at least once, we're going to go through one chapter per week for 7 weeks, live YouTube Hangout on Air, to have me answer whatever questions you have about the book and that chapter. Because I really want to make sure that you are getting results, that the money you invested is a solid return, and that you're making the big change and impact on your life. It's probably going to be in the new year. And as soon as I have the details, I will let you know. Next up, another one from Rose. Finally got the book today. Woo! I always grieve over a book from front to back to see if, one, it's user-friendly, two, easy on the eyes, and three, draws me in. So yes, yes, yes. I love it. I love it. I love it. I've always wanted to do an alternative book club. This may be a great start. Congratulations. Rose, thank you for the love. I really feel it. And super excited to have you as part of the book club. When we put it up. Next up, Dr. Phoenix. Congrats Evan, got my book and I'm loving the read. Thumbs up. Thumbs up, Dr. Phoenix, feeling the love, thank you. Fernando, almost 500K, congrats man. I appreciate that, Fernando. By the time this goes up, it probably will be 500K already. I film on Wednesdays and this book series comes out on Monday, so I probably will hit, I probably will pass 500,000 by Thursday, which is tomorrow for me. So yeah, it's been, It's been a fun ride. I don't know if I'll do some kind of celebration or not. Really, 1 million is the next milestone for me, so this is just another step to getting there. But yeah, thank you for the love and support, for all of you guys for subscribing to the channel, for sharing the videos, for leaving comments, for being part of Believe Nation. I love it. It fuels me, gives me energy, and excited to get to that next half a million, to get to the million mark. Big party at 1 million. I'll need your ideas when we get there. It's coming. I don't know what to do yet, but I'll tap you guys up. Next up, Chris Saber. Got the book recently at my local bookstore. I love the gold wording on the art cover. I'm glad you're feeling that. The art— the COVID is one of the things that I was not a huge fan of. Honestly feel like it could have been way, way, way better, but we were short on time. And me, I didn't understand the cycle and how long it took to do artwork on the COVID and they basically told me, Yeah, you have like one week to make a decision on this. Like, ah! Anyway, so I'm glad you like it. My publisher and my agent both like it. I'm not a huge fan, but I love the content of the book. So I'm glad that though you side with my agent and publisher and love the COVID that gets me pumped. Mike, how can I get your book in Nigeria? Thank you, Mike, for the question. There is a website that we've linked up before. It's a Book Depository. Something like that. We'll link it up here, right here. This is it. Go check that out. It ships anywhere in the world. Otherwise, looking at your typical websites, Amazon, that stuff. I don't know if it's any local. If you got, you know, I want to see, I want to see pictures of the book in different cities. So if you're from a different city, I want a landmark, like, here I am in St. Louis with the Arch. With the book. I'd love to see some of those come in. Whether you post it on Twitter or Facebook or whatever, send me a link. I would be super pumped to see the book in different cities and different countries. So for those of you who bought the book, please put it out there. I'm curious to see those. Valentin, man, you're such a hard worker. Definitely going to read the book. Greetings from the other end of the world, Bulgaria. You got to work hard. You got to work hard on the thing that you love to do. I don't see this as work. You know, I look forward to video day. I look forward to talking to you guys. It's one of my favorite parts of the week. And, you know, Jerry Seinfeld, doing the torture that you enjoy. I love this stuff. I may look at the work you do and say, "That's crazy. That's torture. I never want to do it." You can look at my thing and say, "Man, I could never keep up with Evan." That's okay. Don't do me. Do you. And work hard, hard, hard at it because you got one life. You gotta make it count. Next up, Tamara. Hey Evan, I know YouTube and Facebook is your media outlet. Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter. But please consider using Instagram Live. Instagram, I haven't, I don't know, I haven't gotten into Instagram, mostly because it's all on the phone and I don't really use a phone. If there was a desktop way to do it, I'd probably be way more into it, but I don't. I use a phone as a tablet, but I don't use it as a phone. So Instagram and Snapchat have never been my thing because it's too mobile, but I appreciate the love, and if it keeps coming in, maybe I'll look at it again. By the way, I thought I had it planned out who to give my books to, but now I feel like I'm struggling with who will really value the information. I feel you there. Just alone, your videos have helped me get through running my second company. Now the book is gonna help me take it to another level once I reread it. You've already read it, amazing, reread it. #Believenation all the way. I feel like I need a hoodie with the believe on it for more inspiration. Hope you're killing it with the sales, Tam Cam. Yeah, people have been asking about the Believe hoodie. Not for sale anywhere. The t-shirts are. You can get the Believe t-shirt, and you can get the Rebel t-shirt with all the words on it. But I haven't done the hoodie. I don't know, maybe. Maybe at some point. If you guys can recommend a good hoodie provider— I don't want crap to ship out. And I use Teespring— I think Teespring— for the t-shirts. And they don't have hoodies, as far as I know. Maybe they do. Maybe I should look into it. Believe hoodies. I'm a fan. It's winter. It's Canada. I need my hoodie to stay warm. Kitsch Cakes, congrats Evan, so well deserved, and I can't wait to get your ebook now that my new Kindle is on the way. Xmas present to myself. Yay. I love that you got yourself a Christmas present, and I love that my book is one of the things you're going to reward yourself with. So thank you for that love, and let me know what you think about the book once you do get it. Jessica Officer, I'm in law school, but when I was at Purdue as an undergrad, every year the school had a book they read. It's a must-read. English majors take it seriously. You can talk to university dean of students and make the book deal with the university. That's a super cool idea. I need to— I would need to find a way to leverage that. How do you— how do I— I don't want to be making calls to university deans one at a time. I need to find an association or something to be able to reach everybody at once to make the time time worth it, but you're putting something in my head there. I appreciate the love. Next up, @BestYouPro, be more concerned with the marriage than the wedding day. Love it. That's right. I mean, the wedding day is still important. Again, I caveat that I don't celebrate enough. Celebration is important, but be more concerned about the long-term celebration than just that one day, because that one day is small in the big scheme of things. "This applies in so many situations. I finally picked up my copy from ShipMeToday. There's a book review coming to BestYouPros YouTube channel soon." I appreciate that, man. "I found my one word by just reading the chapter synopsis that you sent, #persist. I think we Believe Nation can celebrate with a video detailing our major takeaway from the book, then create a video with all the best ones. You could send the copy to participants." But they have to give it to someone that people can then post a video with their major takeaways. I love the video with the major takeaway idea. For those of you especially who are YouTubers who are more comfortable in front of the camera, yeah, that's a— like, if 10 of you want to make a video with your major takeaway, I will mash all of those together and say, here are the 10 takeaways from 10 of my readers, and I'll put that up as a standalone video and help you guys promote your channel to my audience. I would be happy to do that if you guys want to do one takeaway each. Maybe that's a future challenge, or if you guys want to take me up on it like ASAP and get going, first 10, put it down in the links and we'll get going on it. But don't forget the main challenge, guys. Don't get distracted from the main challenge. The tribute to the book using your art form. I want to see it. I want to sign a copy with a customized message. I want to send it to you Enter today before the end of the year. I want to see it, guys. Express your art. Put it down there. And last up, Antoine. "Congrats, Evan. Long time no see." Great to see you, Antoine. Thanks for tweeting out the book. I appreciate it, man. "I started reading your book a few days ago and I love the wisdom and the knowledge." Yes! Wow, my voice cracked. Yes, Antoine, yes! "Thank you for putting in the work." Happy face. "I didn't celebrate in any specific way for my own book. I was already on to the next one. Whatever you do, I'll do my best to drop by Toronto. I love the city. Take care." Antoine's from Montreal, about a 5-hour drive from Toronto. Yeah, man, I'd love to see you. Come join me for a video, let's do something. And thank you for the love with the book. That's it for today, guys. Appreciate all the support, all the love. It's been a crazy couple weeks launching this book, and I'm so pumped to see the impact that the book has. So, back to the topic. Back to the big, humongous challenge to express your artistic creativity Giving away 10 books, signed, personalized, customized, from my hands to the mailbox, to your door, special book.
