OMG, today is the book launch day. I've been talking about it for like a full month. You're probably sick of me talking about it, but it's the day. Today, One Box at a Time is officially shipping out to everyone that has preordered it. It is on the shelves at Barnes Noble. It is out there in the world, and I am here to celebrate with all of you. I got a bottle of champagne here. We're going to pop the champagne. Do you know I've never popped a bottle of champagne before? We're going to do that today. I've got some new, brand new bonus that I'm going to tell you about if you purchase the book today. So let's get into it. First of all, you're never really sure if a bookstore is going to pick up your book. So that's why the preorders are like super important. And so we realized today that Barnes Noble has picked up the book. So I need to, I need to have pictures. I need you guys to, over the next day or two, go to your local Barnes Noble. I want you to go to the business section and look for my book. I need you to take a picture, do a video, take a selfie with it, something so that I can see it, because I don't actually even have a Barnes Noble in my town. And the one bookstore that we do have is not carrying it in the store. So I need your help. I'm going to— this is like my crew. I need you to go out there, find the book, take the pictures, send it to me when your book arrives. If you've preordered the book, I need you to— I need you to send me a picture with a selfie. This is a big deal and this is a once in a lifetime moment for me. And I want to capture it in every way possible. I'm so excited about it. We saw inside Launch Your Box last night. Someone got their book yesterday. I believe that's the first book that's been delivered. And so I'm really, really excited for you guys to get your books. If you bought the audiobook, you can go listen to it today. I know several of you are already listening to it. Don't get sick of me. Don't listen to it all day long and be sick of me. I am reading the book, so you'll get to hear it in my voice. Good morning, y'all. Tell me in the chat if you've preordered the book. Tell me when it's supposed to be delivered in the chat. I'd like to know. A lot of them will be delivered today. A lot will be delivered tomorrow. But I need your pictures. I want to celebrate this in every way possible. So I want you to go out to Barnes Noble, maybe check out other bookstores. I don't know if they've picked it up yet, but I want you to check it out for me today and let me know over the next few days. Because it is, it is one of the biggest things I've done in my career and I'm really, really excited about it. Here's what's happened already today. Deborah says, jumped out of bed and started reading. I'm on chapter— you're on chapter 8 already. Oh my goodness, Deborah, I love that. You're going to get through my book faster than anyone. I think you're going to be the first one to read it cover to cover besides me. And the book coaching and the book writer and the book team. But you're probably going to be the first one to read it cover to cover. That's so exciting. Okay, y'all, Brenda says hers is coming tomorrow. I told myself, keep it together today. Don't get emotional. Just stay focused. That's what I'm doing today. Mine arrives today. Hi, Sandy. My copy arrives tomorrow. Awesome day. Your book day. It's Sandy's birthday and my book launch day. Dawn says by 10:00 PM Eastern. Jennifer's is supposed to be here today. Mine comes today. Kelsey's is coming by 10:00 PM. Veronica says hasn't arrived yet, but I'm so excited. Okay, so here's a couple of things. Listen, I had to go old school for this live today because And if you all know me very well, you know that I do lives all the time and I never really prep too much. I can just go live and talk about all the things. I was so nervous today. I had to write down my notes so that I wouldn't forget what I wanted to talk about. I'm so excited. I'm so nervous. Like all of the emotions in Barnes Noble. I need you to take selfies, post pictures in store. I want you to post pictures of it being delivered and opening it. I want all the pictures. Okay. Here's the other really, really important thing. To make the best-selling list, I need reviews. Okay, so right now I am number 1 bestseller in starting a business on Amazon, and I am a number 1 new release in starting a business on Amazon. I would like to be number 1 in the women in business category on Amazon today, and I would also really love to be in the top 10 bestselling entrepreneurial books on Amazon today. So I need your help. I need you to go leave a review for me wherever you bought your book. When you get the book, I need you to just leave a short, sweet review for me about the book because right now I'm in the top 30 on the best-selling entrepreneurial charts on Amazon and I am the only book in the top 100 that has no reviews because it's been preordered. Nobody has it yet. So I need your reviews wherever you purchased it. If you purchased it from Barnes Noble, go review there. If you purchased it from Amazon, if you purchased it from Books-A-Million, go leave me the reviews. They matter. They count. They're going to help me stay in the top of the charts. So go leave me a review today wherever you purchase the book, because I'd like to be number one women in business today. Yeah, let's get, let's get there today. I'll celebrate with you. When I get— I'm going to say if— I'm going to say when I get there today, because we've got a lot of— there's power in community. We have an amazing community full of incredible people supporting this book launch, supporting me, and we're going to get there today. So also, I have a brand new bonus today. So if you pre-ordered the book, make sure you are over on the website and you're putting your receipt in and everything like that, because The preorder ended yesterday and everyone that preordered the book got the masterclass, which will be delivered on November 28th. It is prerecorded in a 4-part series and you will have lifetime access to that because I know November is busy for us. So I prerecorded it so you didn't have to show up live anywhere. You didn't have to remember anything. You will have it. You can watch it at your leisure. You can watch it over and over and over again. Okay, that's the masterclass. And yes, wait, there's more. I feel like that infomercial. So today, to continue getting sales, to continue pushing me to the top of the charts, I put yet another bonus together. Starting today, if you buy the book today, you're going to get my beginner bundle bonus. Now, if you say, Sarah, I already pre-ordered your book, Buy one for a friend. This is your opportunity to buy one for a friend. Inspire someone else that's been thinking about their entrepreneurial journey. They've been wanting to start a side hustle. They've been wanting to do something. They've been struggling in their business. I want you to buy one for a friend so that you can get the beginner bundle bonus.

Let's get my book pushed all the way to the top of the Amazon number one bestseller categories. And that's why we put together another bonus for you today. So here's what I want to do very carefully. I want to pop the champagne with all of you because it's a really big day. I'm going to tell you about this bottle of champagne. So, um, can you see this behind me right there? My Inc. 5000 award. A few months ago, I found out that my company ranked in the top 5,000 fastest growing companies in America. And that was a big day for me too. We ranked number 1,642, which means we ranked in the top 32% of all the companies on the Inc. 5000 list. That's a big deal. And so my life coach sent me some flowers and this really expensive bottle of champagne. And I thought, I'm saving this bottle for my book launch day. So I've saved it for this day so that we could pop champagne together with the launch of my brand new book called One Box at a Time. And I have never popped a bottle of champagne before. I wasn't even sure how you did that. And don't laugh at me, but I asked the girls, if I needed a corkscrew. And they're like, no, we got you, we got you, girl. Don't even worry about it, we got you. Um, so I'm gonna try to pop this champagne, um, not messy, because, uh, LJ said, hey, you don't, you don't want to get champagne in your hair. The hair is important to me. She already knows. Okay, so let's— hopefully I won't break a nail either. That's important to me too. Oh my gosh, I've never popped a bottle of champagne. That is so fun. We should always pop bottles of champagne, okay? No matter what, we should all pop. I am covered in champagne right now. It's okay. I just got the backpack and the floor a little bit wet. No hair or nails were damaged in the popping of the champagne today. Oh my gosh, my book is out. Here's one more thing that I want to tell you about. We have a big event this Thursday to celebrate. The— I'm doing a book signing right here in Wichita Falls in our warehouse from 3 to 6 PM. We've made a huge event around it. So if you are local, if you are in the Dallas area, if you're nearby, if you're a little bit over the border in Oklahoma, just jump in the car, come out to Wichita Falls. Bring your book if you've already— if you pre-ordered it, I will be— I would love to sign it for you. You can purchase a book here. We're going to have some books here, but I'm doing a book signing here at the warehouse from 3 to 6 on Thursday. We also have some food trucks coming out to help us celebrate. We are finishing boxes today so that we will have box pickup ready for you. And then we will have also a really big Better Than Black Friday sale starts Thursday. I'll be live Thursday morning. So if you're not close by, you can order online, but you can also order online and come pick it up and get your book signed in the afternoon. So come out and celebrate with us. I'll be signing all the books. There is a question. Can we order a signed book after the book signing? If I have any books left at the warehouse, I will be signing them and putting them on my website, on the framed website. But I don't know if I'll have any left. I only have 100 books here. So I— yeah, so we'll see after the book signing if there are any books left. We will put signed copies on the website for you. I'll sign all of those. I'm also going to go to Dallas this weekend. I'm just going to go check out all the Barnes Nobles and see if my book's there. And I'm just going to sneak in and signed copies of my book in, in Dallas this weekend. So I'll let you know where those are at. And so, yes, there's one more thing I wanted to share with you because we're celebrating. I have covered my arm— hands and arms are covered in champagne. They smell delicious, by the way. So we're going to have mimosas this morning. But I wanted to share one more little thing with you because we're celebrating today. You guys know, a few months ago I made the Inc. 5000, but I was also featured in the November edition of Ink Magazine this month. So if you're at the bookstore, you can grab a copy of this too. But I'm on page 123 and they did a little quote from me and a picture about supply chain. And I just wanted to celebrate me being in Ink Magazine as well. It's a big, it's a big week for me. I'm right here. And so if you're at the bookstore, go ahead and grab a November copy of the Ink Magazine because that's fun too. Thank you all. If you are not local, you want to have your book signed. I'm going to be doing another book signing this summer out at Sub Summit in Dallas. So I will be at that event. A lot of my students will be at that event. Bring your books out to Sub Summit. I would love to sign them for you, but I'm just celebrating today. I'll be back on the How to Start a Subscription Box page with one of my students that I feature in Chapter 9 of this book, Nicole Jenney. I'll be interviewing her, how she started with a one-time box for the holidays and turned it into 2 subscriptions with hundreds and hundreds of subscribers for both of those subscriptions. So come back and join me at 2:00 on the How to Start a Subscription Box page or over on my YouTube channel and get inspired by some of my students. I'm featuring some of my students that are in the book all week long because I want you to hear their stories. It's not just about my story. It's about your story too. Have a great day and I'll be back this afternoon. See you guys soon.
