Category: Joyous Leadership – The Book

Many of you have asked since my book release “how are the book sales going?” Most of the time I probably gave you a blank stare or just stumbled with an answer. The reason is, since it was my first book, I truly didn’t know. Here’s what I do know:

Reporting of sales are delayed by at least two calendar quarters. This is mainly to allow time for all the places that sell and the various media formats that sell have time to post their sales and returns. Yes, I do get returns, dang it!

Due to the two-quarter wait period, July was the first month I received a royalty check. All I can say so far is at least in the first quarter I’ve covered the publishing cost. Yea! That means the sales for the rest of year will hopefully cover all the other costs of production. In case you haven’t heard, unless you’re John Grisham, you probably won’t get rich publishing books.

I’ve still got a lot of book sales and promotions left so I’m optimistic about where this can go. I want to thank all of you who were my early supporters. This has been quite a ride and is looking like maybe there will be a second book in my future.
