Why I'm Giving the Book Away at Cost…
Why I'm Giving the Book Away at Cost…
I know, I know — in a world where everything seems to come with a markup, this sounds suspicious.
So let me put your mind at ease:
No, I’m not running a secret millionaire experiment.
No, I didn’t forget how math works.
And no, there isn’t a hidden “buy one, get a highly convincing sales pitch” trap waiting for you.
The truth is much simpler — and far more important.
I’m giving this book away at cost because I genuinely believe that a rising tide lifts all ships.
If the insights in this book help Executive Directors lead better, build stronger associations, serve their members more effectively, and create more impact… then everybody wins.
Your organization wins.
Our industries win.
Your communities win.
And yes — even I win, because I get to see the mission I care about grow beyond my own reach.
I’m not trying to make money off this book.
I’m trying to make a difference with it.
If sharing this knowledge helps you become a more confident, capable, mission-driven leader, then the cost of a few dollars in printing and postage is one of the best investments I’ll ever make.
So that’s why I’m giving the book away at cost: Because the mission matters more than the margin.
And because when you get better, we all get better.
