The Hero's Journey Workshop: Scale Your Impact & Your Income

Learn how to build an Expert Product & Marketing System at the Hero's Journey Workshop.

(9 - 11 May, 2019 in Warsaw, Poland)

With NY Times BestSelling Author & Book Promoter, Michael Drew and Film-Maker and Video StoryTelling Expert, Samuel P.N. Cook
 

You are an Expert. Thought Leader. Author.

As Gary Vaynerchuck says, "It's never been a better time to get into business."

This is the golden age for information.

There's never been a better time to be an expert, thought leader and author!

From 1890 - 1980, the average number of book published per year was 40,000.

When Michael Drew entered publishing 20 years ago (1998), the number of books had jumped to 78,000.

Enter Amazon (self publishing) and the age of social media.

Last year, over 2 MILLION books were published.  

It's never been easier to get your message out there.

The bad news is that it's never been harder to get someone to care.

Because everyone can get their message out there, the noise has never been louder.

Your idea won't see the light of day until you get one thing right.

Story.

Story Matters.

You have to learn how to cut through the noise by developing a real expert business strategy.

Step 1) Identifying Your Ideal Client (Your Hero)

Step 2) Writing the Hero's Journey they Need to change their life (with Your Book or your Services)

Step 3) Mapping Your Hero's Digital Journey into a marketing system that leads them naturally into their hero's journey (guided by you).

That is why we have partnered with NY Times bestelling author, and the world's top book promoter Michael Drew (with 91 U.S. National bestsellers to his name) to create the Hero's Journey Workshop.

This 3-day, intensive workshop & video training follow will provide you all the tools you need to design your strategy, build your expert eco-system, and market it online successfully.

The Hero's Journey workshop is a 3-day intensive workshop. It will help you truly understand your ideal client, rewrite their story, and create the digital journey to convert them to investing in a better future.

It's happening in Warsaw, Poland. The workshop will take place with a small group of experts/authors (no more than 25 businesses) 29 November - 1 December.

You may also join by Live Stream if you cannot attend in person.

Here is What You Can Expect at the Hero's Journey Workshop

Day 1 (29 November) - Who is Your Hero?

Before you can tell a story, you must know who you are speaking to. Not in the abstract sense. But deeply personal. Your clients are not statistics. They are not the obstacle to your profitability. They are real people. People buy based on emotions - and they justify their decisions based on logic.

Once you understand your ideal client, understand exactly how to use the hero's journey to identify where they are on their journey.

At the end of Day 1, you will understand exactly how to create your ideal client profile, and deeply connect with them so you know EXACTLY how to solve their problems.

Day 2 (30 November) - Building Your Hero's Journey

Once you understand your ideal client. Once you truly FEEL the story they are living... It's time to rewrite their story. This concept is the foundation of marketing. 

How can you design an offer (both free and paid), that will help your ideal client change their story?

You need to understand how to decode and systematise your expertise. Productizing your knowledge is the key to scaling your impact as an author.

Learn the powerful platform-in-a-box method Michael Drew uses to help thought leads, experts, and authors create National Best-selling books in the United States.

We will talk about the entire value chain you need to create as an author - how to create your book, your video course, workshops, and high-end coaching program.

More importantly, we will discuss how to roll it out (in what order) based on your positioning as an expert.

You will end Day 2 of the Hero's Journey workshop, you will understand exactly how  to outline your book (or video course) and create your entire expert value chain.

Day 3 (1 December) - Mapping the Hero's Journey

Now you truly understand your client. You know the exact offers (both free and paid) that will help your client change their story. Congratulations. Almost no other business owner or marketer will have done this.

But now the hard part begins. Telling your story online has never been easier. Getting anyone to listen or care has never been harder. The devil is in the details.

This is the day that you map out the entire digital marketing strategy. Learn how to get your client from where they are (Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Snapchat, etc...) into a digital journey.

You will map out every step. Every page, every video, every email, every ad. Once it all works together, you will finally get your ideal client to see the story they can truly live. The hero's journey you have designed for them is staring them right in the face. It's up to them to take the leap.

End Day 3 of the Hero's journey you will understand exactly how to create your expert marketing system. The content marketing plan, and the funnel map. Every landing page. Every video. Every email. Every facebook, google, and youtube ad. Every step of the journey.

About Michael S. Drew

Michael Drew Bio

Michael is a maverick who gets results.

Marketing books for his entire career (20 years), he’s become the world’s most successful book promoter, launching 92 consecutive books onto best seller lists, many of them #1 titles. 

Beyond merely helping authors’ books sell well, Michael has benefited from these writers’ insights into social trends. He himself has observed up-close the shifting dynamics of society – as with his work on his best-selling book, Pendulum: How Past Generations Shape Our Present and Predict Our Future – and has seen firsthand the rapid and long-term changes in the publishing industry and how content reaches today’s varied audiences.

Michael honed his skills at such respected publishers as Bard Press, Entrepreneur Magazine, Longstreet Press and Thomas Nelson Publishers, among others. He mastered the intricacies of publishing and, in adapting to today’s fast-evolving industry, Michael founded Promote A Book in 2003 to work directly with writers to help them spread their message.

Michael has also helped thought leaders, speakers and entrepreneurs build upon an essential component of continuing success, creating a platform for their writing and their message so that they can expand their audience and adapt to social shifts. Through Michael’s skills in website creation, his strengths as a speaker, his career coaching, and in his innovative use of personas to intensify the effectiveness of all sorts of writing, Michael has been a force in the creation of a new generation of thought leaders. He has helped them to become even more effective entrepreneurs who nourish today’s idea-hungry marketplace.

As the shifts in society continue, Michael has co-founded Smarter Voice and is able to offer more complete and holistic marketing and advertising services than ever before, including publishing, infomercials, media, persona architecture websites, and call center services to name a few. In fact, in the worlds of book publishing, personal development, training and consulting, there has never existed a marketing agency that has the understanding and expertise to meet the needs of authors, thought leaders, influencers, coaches, consultants and speakers.

In his personal time, Michael loves cheering for BYU teams, dining at “the best sushi house in North America” – Uchi’s in Austin, Texas – and spending time with his daughter, Savannah.
