For business owners and professionals in ANY industry who want to charge 5-10X more, attract more clients (instead of chasing them), and become an instant expert in their space…

Six-Time Bestselling Author, Who's Built Three 7-Figure Businesses From His Books (and Landed a Show on FOX), Reveals on This Page—for the First Time—His #1 Secret to Writing and Publishing a Bestselling Book (Even if You Don’t Have The Time)...

You’re Not Just Writing a Book—
You’re Starting a Movement

I have ONLY revealed this secret to a close group of business owners before (and this secret cannot be found in ANY of my courses). But right on this page, I'm sharing how you too can write a book, and quickly turn it into the #1 marketing asset for your business… EVEN if you have kids, a business to take care of, or a busy schedule

Best of all, when I wrote my first bestselling book, nobody knew me, I didn't have a 'celebrity rolodex' like I do now, and I wasn't a professional author at all (I had never even tried to write a book before).

This secret is SHOCKINGLY simple, and I'm revealing it ON THIS PAGE, so you can do it too… Even if you’ve never written a book before (or tried and gave up)... Or even if you’re struggling with self-doubt and hesitation.

Dear Friend,

I'm about to reveal to you my #1 secret that not only turned my books into bestsellers… But also allowed me to build three 7-figure businesses, and help over 730 high-paying* one-on-one clients.

You see, back in the internet boom, I was already a marketing consultant for attorneys.

My dream back then was to be a public speaker, travel throughout America while speaking on stage, and help people with their marketing.

So I did what any aspiring speaker would do, including…

  • Applying to local speaking gigs and events...

  • Reaching out to people who might be interested in a speaker...

  • Asking friends, family and business contacts if they 'knew anyone' who might want to hire a speaker...

And in one whole year of effort, guess what? I got a measly ONE speaking event. Ugh.

So, yeah, you could say I was doing something wrong.

And at the time, I noticed that Amazon was starting to dominate online commerce, with people selling thousands of books. And I noticed that most of those authors were also selling events, courses, and coaching.

So (on a whim) I wrote a book called "How to Turn Clicks into Clients", in hopes I’d get the same results.

It was a system to help lawyers... well... Turn clicks into clients. So I wrote and published the book, waiting for my Bestseller medal... And got about TWO sales.

Ugh #2.
(Honestly, I think those first two sales were probably my parents.)

Yep. A bit embarrassing. But I was determined, and I did what almost NO ONE else (even to this day) does. Ready for the big secret?

The secret that changed the trajectory of my book—and career—can be summed up in 5 words:

I USED OTHER PEOPLE'S AUDIENCES

Yep. That’s the big secret. See, back then I didn’t have a giant audience. I didn’t have a bunch of followers hanging on my every word. Heck, I didn’t even have an Amazon ad account (because, again, they didn’t exist yet).

So I found people who already had audiences—specifically, folks with email lists FULL of lawyers—and I sent them my book. Then I asked them to promote it in exchange for a big payoff (more on that later, but hint: it wasn’t money).

TWO WEEKS LATER, I’m sitting at my computer, and I almost fell from my chair:

My book had just hit #1 Bestseller on Amazon.

But that wasn’t the real win. Because as soon as I was a Bestseller, I immediately got a flood of calls. In fact, because of my book…

I got 48 speaking events
from people who had read my book.

(With my old ways, that would’ve taken me 48 years to achieve!)

Those 48 turned into more… and more… and more. And suddenly, I was closing $15,000–$25,000 deals from the events like it was my job.

(Actually, it became my job.) Within ONE year, I had a 7-figure business and I was speaking all over the country.

All because I used other people’s audiences.

Since then, I’ve taught this same strategy to thousands of people—authors, coaches, consultants, even people who swore they’d “never write a book.”

And it works. Here’s one fun story: I helped this guy publish a book, and he and I ended up getting featured on a TV show on Fox. The producers said, “Hey, Ed, you should come too.” So there I was… on FOX… catching fish like some kind of expert professional angler. Here’s a picture of me at the show:

Ed Rush Fishing Boat

Isn’t it amazing what a book can do?

Now, What Does This Have to Do With You?

A lot, because, if you’re like me: You’re Not Just Writing a Book—You’re Starting a Movement.

  • You don’t need a ghostwriter or a publishing deal—you need a simple framework that shows you exactly what to say, how to say it, and where to start

  • That’s because you've got the knowledge, the story, and the expertise—our job (together) is to turn that into a book that gets read, shared, and remembered.

  • That way, you can the book that positions you as a thought leader, opens doors to speaking engagements, and becomes the launchpad for the next level of your business

On March 5-6, 2026, I'm hosting the FIRST EVER
Top Gun Author Live Event in Phoenix, AZ.

It’s the FIRST of its kind, and it’s the only time I plan on doing this event.
One and done.

Top Gun Author is the FASTEST, MOST EFFORTLESS WAY to structure, write, and publish a book... Turn it into a bestseller... And have MULTITUDES of clients coming your way, eager to pay twice (or TEN times) what you charge now.

And here’s EXACTLY what’ll happen during the two days of Top Gun Author:

The very first thing we'll do together is identify your Perfect Reader™.

First, we’ll figure out exactly WHO your readers are (backed by both research and God-given insight), so you KNOW what they want, and can write (or edit) a book accordingly.

You'll find a perfect match between what your prospect wants and your Unique Wisdom. (Or better said: What NO ONE else is giving them, and what NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU can give them.)

Once we've identified your Perfect Reader, you'll feel confident your book WILL get bought and read. Your book will also be much easier to write, and your readers will recognize your expertise subconsciously, which will make them see you as an expert.

The next session is called…
"Designing Your 6- or 7-Figure Sales Funnel"

Now that you know your Perfect Reader™, we will match your book with the products and services you ALREADY offer (or want to offer)... And we'll trace the path between your book and your offers that your reader will follow.

The three speakers at this event (including myself) have helped, to date, 1,267 authors create funnels for their books. And we’ve done this for almost every industry, including coaching, physical goods, software, consulting, speakers, lawyers, and everything else.

Best thing: you’ll create this funnel plan WITHOUT any abrupt changes in your business model, because the funnel will match YOUR business and vision, not the other way around.

You see, with your new 6-Figure Sales Funnel, you’ll be part of the group of authors who don’t have a book… But instead have a BRAND.

Because let’s face it. Unless you're J.K. Rowling, John Maxwell, or the guy who wrote The Fault In Our Stars, you're NOT going to make serious money off book royalties alone. (NOTE: on any given month, I make $3,000 to $12,000 on book royalties and I STILL don’t consider that “serious money”, because I make much more from my back-end sales).

You see…the REAL money for authors is in the BACK-END. That's why at Top Gun Author, you’ll have a book that leads people into your perfectly-architected back-end.

And we’re not doing this by "turning your book into an ad" or inserting a call-to-action every three pages. That only gets you unhappy readers and negative reviews. Instead, I'll show you how to outline, write, and provide the right amount of value (more on that later) in your book… So customers feel COMPELLED to buy more from you.

Now, A LOT of aspiring authors I’ve talked to are “would’ve been authors” because they didn’t have an outline. Because of that…

For the First Time Ever, I’m Opening Access to
Our Proprietary High-Converting Outline (HCO)™
So You Can Write a GREAT Book FAST!

The HCO™ allows you to write your book faster than ever, because once you have this kind of outline (along with your Perfect Reader™), it almost feels like dumping your knowledge into the pages—WITHOUT wondering “what goes where”!

So if you only have 30 minutes before work, or maybe an hour after your kids go to bed? You can bang out the raw materials for a chapter in one or two sittings. 

Not only that, but this is EXACTLY how I structure every book I write for maximum impact (while making it feel fresh and different every time). The High-Converting Outline™ is NOT a bland, boring template, but an outline that comes to life with your ideas themselves.

As you’re seeing by now, we’ll do all the “heavy lifting” TOGETHER during the two days of Top Gun Author. So when you go back home to write or edit your book, you’ll wonder why it’s now so easy to do so.

Most importantly, as soon as you walk out of the venue in Arizona, you'll finally rest assured you'll have clients coming YOUR way, not the other way around. You'll have the confidence to charge 2-10X higher and have clients pay the invoice because "you wrote the book about it". And if you're currently charging less than what you're worth, you'll finally stop feeling that knot of resentment that comes with accepting a low-paying, ungrateful client. 

But obviously we're not done yet. Because now that you know your reader and have your outline…

We’ll go into Nicole Gebhardt’s FRAMEWORKS Mastermind

NicoleGebhardt

You see, Nicole is not only amazing at outlining, coaching, and writing books herself. But having helped over 300 published authors, such as Grant Cardone, Mike Koenigs, Eric Thayne, Dr. Isaiah Hankel, Dr. Bree Rosenblum, Kevin Bailey, and me. (Yes, I have worked with Nicole on multiple books and projects. I would not work with anyone else. She’s simply the best. I’ve literally paid her tens of thousands of dollars…because she is worth it…and you’re getting 2 days with her at an incredible discount!)

Nicole KNOWS the marketing game at the highest level.

And she'll show you how she turns ONE single idea—about your reader, your subject of expertise, or even about something you watched on TV—and turn it into an almost-endless stream of content for social media, emails, ads, and more.

That's why, if you've ever wondered "what should I post on social media", "what should I write on my sales emails or presentations", or "what will click with my client"? Nicole will DISPEL those worries because you'll understand how to generate ideas out of thin air.

Not only that, you’ll also see how to turn one idea into 8-12 pieces of content (which can be repurposed into endless platforms, such as LinkedIn, YouTube or sales emails), so you can be everywhere in your clients’ feed.

You see, if you've been subscribed to my email list for a while, you've probably seen me do this exact process that allows me to send you 300-to-600-word emails once or twice a week (and daily during launches) with endless ideas.

Best of all, Nicole calls this "Scalable Content". Which means it's something you can either quickly do yourself, train your team on it, or ask an AI to do it for you. And this isn't content to just create a "virtual footprint", but to actually drive sales to your book.

Right after you understand how to create an endless stream of Scalable Content, we'll go into a not-discussed-enough part of how publishing a bestseller can grow your business.

I call this module…
"Book Titles, Trademarks, and 10-Year Brands"...

In fact, here I'm mixing two modules into one:

In Book Titles, my team—including Nicole Gebhart herself—and I will work together with you to craft the best possible book title for your book. You see, your book title works like a "hook" for readers to buy, and we'll craft a title that makes readers want to snag your book off the shelves (either the physical shelves at a Barnes & Noble, or the virtual shells at Amazon). 

But then we’re going to discuss something most authors (even many rich, bestselling ones) don't exploit enough:

The power of licensing trademarks and using that to build what I call a "10-Year-Brand". 

You see, once you register Intellectual Property (IP), people start tracing some concepts back to YOU. And it makes your brand impossible to steal, because even if others swipe, copy, or straight-up snatch your stuff, your clients will remember your concepts, even if someone else is talking about them with a different name!

When you do this, not only will you feel safe, knowing you OWN your material just like you'd own a car or a house. But this also marks the difference between what others see as an "aspiring" brand, and an established one. (This has nothing to do with "time in the game" or experience; it’s something you craft, as I’ll show you how.) 

That would close day 1, but we’re not done yet, because…

The Next Morning, We'll Turn on the Jet Engine With a Masterclass I Call
"Crafting Books People Actually Read."

You see, I’ve been public speaking for almost two decades. And early in my career, I learned a few secrets to literally SNAG my viewers’ attention. (These secrets apply to ALL media, not just public speaking.)

You see, about 15 years ago, I got a speaking gig where I was the 8th out of 10 speakers. I didn't have a lot of brand credibility then, and some of the other speakers were WAY more famous than I was.

Yet using the secrets I'll show you in Top Gun Author, I delivered my speech, and the crowd was clinging to my EVERY word.

And most importantly, by the end of the event, not only was I getting raving reviews … But I also raked in $27,500 in clients…and…check this out…got another paid speaking event with Heavyweight Champ Evander Holyfield.

All this was made possible by the skill of “getting attention.” In this module, I am going to show you the BIGGEST mistake people make in their books (it’s right on page #1) and how to open your book so the reader goes, “WOW!”

These are real secrets I use over and over again, every time I communicate with my audience.

For example, you'll understand how I turn ANY bland-chicken idea into a compelling, full-course story for my readers, and command a desired emotion at will. And it’ll do the same for you, even if you think you’re boring or “not worth reading about”.

Now, the next part might be the most important part of the whole event. It's easily worth ten times the entry ticket for Top Gun Author, and if you use it, you’ll make your investment back 10, 100, even 1,000 times throughout your journey:

This is the segment I call "Influencers and Allies - Other People's Audiences"!

Like I told you earlier, leveraging other people's audiences is what allowed me to build three 7-figure businesses. And once you know how to do this, you can connect with authorities in your space (even if they don't know you yet), and you'll know how to create "win-win" situations that give you ACCESS to massive, untapped audiences of dream clients.

Even better, you only have to land ONE big connection for your breakthrough—because one big connection is enough to open the gates towards Bestseller stardom, and flood your business with high-paying clients.

And since I'm giving you the scripts I've sent these people and the powerful offers I've made them... You'll be able to connect with rockstar after rockstar in your industry, growing your audience, impact, and profit EXPONENTIALLY in little time.

By around noon on the second day of our event, you’ll know…

  • What your readers desperately want

  • How to give it to them through your book and offers

  • What the High-Converting Outline (HCO) for your book is

  • How to write the most engaging book for your audience

  • And how to add an extra 6- or even 7-figures to your business—whether you're JUST starting out, or you've been in business for thirty years.

But we're not done yet.

Because I'm also bringing in Alex Strathdee, universally recognized as one of the BEST book marketers alive—and the foremost authority in the world on Amazon Ads

He has worked with renowned nonfiction authors such as Allan Dib (The 1-Page Marketing Plan), Mark Silverman (Rising Leader Handbook), Mike Michalowicz (Profit First), David Jenyns (Systemology), Naval Ravikant (The Almanack of Naval Ravikant) and too many to count...

And Alex will join us at Top Gun Author to share with you his latest insights on Book Marketing.

Here's the cool thing: Because we're jam-packing the whole event with outlines, stories, funnels, and more, I asked Alex to give us the most important marketing insights—what’s working right now for authors of all sizes—in just one hour.

This means Alex is giving you 1-2 actionable steps to take as soon as you publish… So you can drive the most quality traffic, with minimum investment… Even if you've never seen an Amazon Ads dashboard before.

You’ll learn how to get 10-50 sales a day, automatically, even on a very modest budget.

Also, be sure to ask Alex about his “book seeding” strategy that gets your books into 1,000 people’s hands…for FREE.

And to finish off the first-ever Top Gun Author LIVE Event...

I'll be sitting with Nicole, Alex, and other members of my team, so you can blast us with ANY question you might have in the “Ask Us Anything” Panel

Mind you, at this event, you'll have the combined experience of three experts responsible for over 2,800 PUBLISHED books… On both the timeless principles and the latest tactics on book publishing, marketing, funnels, and more.

So this is the smartest choice you can make for your business... IF you want to become sought-after in your industry, get more clients than you can possibly handle, and charge 2-10X what you charge now.

Just think about how attending this event will shape your business for the next 1, 5, 10, 20 years and beyond…

How it'll speed up your entrepreneurial journey and rid you of problems you don’t deserve to be dealing with…

And how it'll even shape areas of your life other than business, such as your relationship with loved ones, your calling to God (maybe He’s called you to write a book, and you didn’t feel “ready” yet?), and the impact you’ll make to your fellow humans. 

I know for a FACT that if you follow the plan we'll craft together at Top Gun Author, if you put all the insights you learn into practice starting the week after the event... You WILL make your investment back VERY fast. 

Just ONE client, which you can easily get as a bestseller at $10,000, $15,000, or $25,000 (which is what the last 46 members of my Mach 10 Mastermind have paid to join), can multiply the investment for Top Gun Author MANY times.

And even though members are paying $25,000 to get on my Mastermind, I'm not going to ask for that much...

In fact, I'm not even asking for $15,000 (which I could definitely do and still fill out the event), or $10,000, or even ONE TENTH of my Mastermind fee at $2,500 for it. 

Instead, the ONE-TIME investment for Top Gun Author is $1997, or 3 comfortable monthly payments of $727. 

This is the FIRST TIME I'm revealing these book publishing, marketing, and bestselling secrets to the public. 

And because we're doing it at a small venue in Phoenix, AZ, we only have 146 seats available... And 57 of those seats are already reserved for my God Talks: Certification members.

This means, at the time of writing, we have ONLY 89 spots left... Which sounds like a lot…

But I'm promoting this to my email list of 27,000 subscribers, my social media following of a combined ~150,000 people, and Nicole's and Alex's audiences. (Plus, I've sold out EVERY event I've hosted in the past 3 years—some at a higher ticket than Top Gun Author, so I know for a fact we're selling this one out too.)

Now, if you aren't 100% CONVINCED to join us for Top Gun Author yet... I'm also throwing in the following BONUSES:

Bonus #1:

I will PERSONALLY PROMOTE YOUR BOOK to my social media and following—WHEN you're among the FIRST 25 PEOPLE who join

Remember what I said about "leveraging other people's audiences"? Well I'm giving you MY audience and credibility, so as soon as you hit "publish", you have ME on your corner, promoting your book to my list of hundreds of thousands.

I will be HAPPY to promote your book, because if you write it with the Perfect Reader™ exercise, the High-Converting Outline™, and the storytelling strategies inside Top Gun Author…

Then I KNOW it's the BEST book in your industry. I fully trust my systems and my attendees, which is why I’m doing this bonus (oh, and I’ve NEVER done this for any live event before).

But I'm capping this exclusive bonus at 25 students, because I don't want my brand to become a billboard. In fact, I mostly promote my OWN products, or products where I'm featured. But I’m making an exception since Top Gun Author will be one of the most important events I’ve hosted.

So ACT NOW and take advantage of this one-time opportunity, which I might not do ever again (because I'll be too busy promoting these 25 authors for the next YEAR).

DISCLAIMER: I will promote any book whose message I connect with. I won’t promote anything that deals with sex, drugs, scams, or anything else that doesn’t represent my brand. I reserve the right to say “no,” but if I do, I’ll make it up to you somehow.

BTW, this may sound harsh, but for you it’s actually good news because when I do promote your book, it will get more action because my following actually trusts me.

NOTE: I plan to promote you on FB and IG Stories. I have a big audience, and you can leverage that by doubling down on your end. If, for some reason, you prefer something on another platform, like LinkedIn or TikTok or MySpace, we can make the switch. Just ask. MySpace….hahaha.)

Bonus #2:

The "Explode Your List" Email Marketing Strategy

I'm going to pull back the curtain on how I get about 25.4% of my book readers to opt into my email list… And how I get a percentage of them buying my other books, courses, events, certification programs, and mastermind.

You see, EMAIL (above social media, ads, and other channels) is the most profitable investment you can make for your business, ASSUMING people know who you are (and you'll have a bestselling book for that).

I've heard that for every dollar you invest in your email list, you get $40 back. And though I'm not sure if that's true, I know that my relationship with my email list allows me to fill out my events, sell over a million dollars a year in courses, and not rely on anyone else—not even the big guns in my industry, which I’m acquainted with—to build my brand.

A highly-engaged email list is an asset NO ONE can take away from you. You can change your email software, and you can download your email list and take it with you. It can't be taken away from you like a Meta Ad Account or a social media profile with lots of followers. It's the closest thing to a "recession-proof asset" in your business.

Bonus #3:

Strategies and scripts to land podcast interviews, speaking gigs, and business deals—often BEFORE the book is published

I'm showing you EXACTLY how to leverage your book to meet new podcast hosts, event organizers, and potential business partners.

Just imagine your calendar FILLED to the brim with podcast invitations, interviews, and other opportunities that'll push 1000’s, 10,000’s, and even 100,000’s of interested viewers to your brand.

Best of all, you'll be able to do this EVEN if you haven't typed a single word for your book yet. I'm gonna show you how to position your upcoming book as an exciting opportunity for interviewers, fellow authors, news outlets, and other high-value contacts alike—so you get traction BEFORE your book is on the shelves.

Bonus #4:

How to get TV, Radio, and Podcast interviews that can explode your book into world-wide notoriety

I wish someone had taught me this 15 years ago.
Really, it would have made all the difference in the world.
But I can make up for that now by teaching YOU.

Listen, there is nothing like MEDIA to promote your book and give you maximum credibility. I’ve been on hundreds of shows, including 3 TV shows that accounted for several thousand book sales EACH. But here’s the real secret. Some of the best places to market your book are on YouTube Live shows and Podcasts (that no one knows about except their raving audience).

Seriously, I was on this show once called “Blurry Creatures,” which no one knows about, or so I thought. Because all of a sudden, my phone blew up and so did my book sales. Who knew?

The bottom line is I’ll show you the exact media strategy you can use to get a lot of shows and sales.

Here’s The Boldest, 100% Risk-FREE, Buy-in-Confidence
Double Guarantee Ever.

Come and attend the event. If, after the first day, you’re not totally blown away by the content, teaching, resources, and connections, just return your materials and you can have a full refund. I’ve offered that guarantee for 18 years now and no one has ever taken me up on it.

The event is going to be just that good.

This is THE opportunity ANY business owner can jump on to EXIT the grind and enter a more effortless level of business.

And even though I’ve just shared with you the "official outline" for the event... In Top Gun Author, you’ll learn a few other invaluable insights that are sprinkled throughout the event.

These are:

  • How to publish your book FAST. Once you know how to create GREAT content quickly, you’ll never struggle with writer’s block again.

  • Nicole's advice on formatting, font, word count, file type, and all the technical aspects of publishing a book (for Kindle, Paperback, Hardcover, audiobooks, and any other format).

  • How to collect REAL reviews—not the ones that sound like robotic, insincere praise—for your book. (Note: you'll even learn how to collect valuable FOUR STAR and a few critical reviews, which your ideal readers want to see before buying.

  • Plus, the biggest REVIEW mistake most authors make that can actually get your book stuck in the Amazon “sandbox” (or worse, banned) where no one will ever see your book again. We’ll give you a nice, long “review guide” you can give you readers so they write reviews that rock.

  • The BEST (and easiest) way to get celebrities and influencers to write endorsements for your book.

  • How to relaunch a book (that didn’t become a Bestseller). IF you've already written a book and it underperformed, you can apply what you learn in Top Gun Author to relaunch it, turn it into a bestseller, and reap all the benefits from it, in ONE THIRD of the time.

  • The interesting story on how I published a bestselling book in the FISHING space where I'm a nobody, and ended up with a fishing show on FOX (yeah really). If I did that with the average experience of a fishing dad, YOU can do it with the experience in your niche.

  • The secret to END writer's block for good and ensure that every time you sit down to write, it'll be worth your while. (Thanks to this secret, I wrote my first bestselling book in 21 days from idea to execution. I'm NOT saying you'll do it that fast—but you'll be WAY faster with it.)

  • The website that can double your reviews overnight (hint: it’s not Amazon) and allowed one of Ed’s books to attain over 1,446 reviews.

  • How to get the TIMING right for your book launch. Did you know there are REAL market changes, seasonal events, and other time-related factors that can make or break your book launch? Learn to identify AND avoid these changes before your book is forgotten for good!

  • Nicole's insights on creating a compelling book cover. After working with over 200 authors, Nicole can recognize patterns that make a book cover keep the reader, and one that'll keep him SCROLLING in search for another book. She’ll show you how to be the former.

  • Meet over 150 experts who will attend Top Gun Author. How many high-level contacts do you think you can make here to cross-promote your book?

  • Should you partner up with a publishing house? How to pick the PERFECT model between traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing (the pros and cons of EACH one).

  • Have a COMPLETE "Flight Path" for your book by the time you leave the event. (All you have to do is lay out your expertise on the pages, which will be easier than ever thanks to what you'll learn.)

  • Get a full, high-quality recording of the whole event, so you can review and apply each step at home, at your own pace.

FAQs

Top Gun Author was built specifically for you if you are a…

  1. First-time author who wants to do it right the first time.
    If you’re just starting out, this event will save you months (if not years) of trial and error. You’ll skip the guesswork and confusion and walk away with a clear plan to write, launch, and monetize your book — faster, smarter, and with way more impact.
  2. Experienced authors who want an edge.
    Maybe you’ve already published a book (or three), but you’d like to get more readers, sales, or impact. At Top Gun Author, you’ll learn how to take your existing book(s) and plug them into a high-converting sales system that turns attention into income. You’ll also discover how to repackage or relaunch your books to reach new audiences and boost long-term sales.
  3. Anyone with a message to share.
    You don’t need to have a manuscript (or even a title). If you’ve got a story, a testimony, or wisdom that could change lives, this event will help you get it out of your head, onto paper, and into the hands of the people who need it most.

The event is taking place in Phoenix, AZ (the actual city is Mariciopa) on March 5-6 (Thursday and Friday). We’re going live from 9 am to 6 pm both days.

YES, but first let’s talk about what it’s worth. When you apply what I give you, you will write a best-selling book, launch a 10-year brand, build a high-value email list, and sell more products or services than you could ever imagine. That said, this is a live event, and we’re spending lots of resources and time to host it; so if you’re not sure this is 100% for you, please don’t attend.

As for a guarantee, here it is. Come and attend the event. If, after the first day, you’re not totally blown away by the content, teaching, resources, and connections, just return your materials and you can have a full refund. I’ve offered that guarantee for 18 years now and no one has ever taken me up on it. The event is going to be just that good.

You can bring a guest, but due to the extremely limited spots at the venue, your guest will need to enroll at the same price.

Yes, as a live attendee, you do get a recording so you can review and implement everything we covered during the event.

Ed-on-stage

Your Host:

ED RUSH

I'm a former F-18 fighter pilot and 6-time #1 Bestselling Author. I’ve flown jets faster than the speed of sound, but my real mission now is helping entrepreneurs, authors, and leaders like you launch world-changing books and businesses... without crashing in the process.

After graduating from Top Gun (yes, the real one), I turned my attention to mastering influence, communication, and marketing. Since then, after retiring from the Marines, I’ve become a marketing consultant and I’ve helped launch 6- and 7-figure books, courses, and campaigns (including one that made $2.7M in a week. True story.).

Today, I've made over $15 million dollars from my books, coaching, and course, helped thousands of people across the world (including over 730 of them one-on-one), sold hundreds of thousands of books, and hosted events all over the United States.

If Ed’s the jet fuel, Nicole’s the flight plan.
