Don’t Let Your Book Land with a Thud: How to Write, Publish, and Promote Your Nonfiction Book
Most nonfiction books don’t fail because the ideas are bad. They fail because nobody knows what to do with them once they’re published.
In this workshop, publishing strategist Molly Seabrook walks through the real-world process of writing, publishing, and promoting a nonfiction book that actually supports your business and builds authority.
We’ll cover the major publishing paths, what they really cost in time and money, and why visibility matters long before launch day. Perfect for coaches, consultants, and experts who know they have a book in them — but don’t want to approach the process blindly or performatively.
Topic TBD, Speaker: Michelle Wilson
Michelle Wilson will lead an upcoming workshop for the $1M Breakthrough community.
Michelle is a licensed counselor, mindset coach, and mind-body-energy healer with more than 25 years of experience helping clients clear limiting beliefs, unconscious patterns, and the inner blocks that keep them from creating more ease, impact, and income.
Her work blends mind-body medicine, positive psychology, energy psychology, neuroscience, and spiritual practices to help entrepreneurs create lasting change from the inside out.
More details coming soon.
Attracting Bigger Clients (Without Becoming a Content Machine)
If you’re tired of feeling like successful marketing requires constant posting, this workshop is for you.
Join fractional CMO Megan Kilpatrick for a practical conversation about how B2B service providers actually attract larger, higher-value clients — without becoming full-time content creators.
We’ll look at where your best opportunities really come from, why so much modern marketing feels draining, and what to focus on instead if you want smarter, more sustainable growth.
Perfect for founders and service-based businesses that want bigger clients, stronger positioning, and clearer ROI — not just more visibility.
The Invisible Bottleneck: Why Smart Founders Stay Stuck
You’ve probably solved harder business problems than the ones currently keeping you stuck.
So why do the same patterns keep showing up?
This workshop explores the “invisible bottleneck” behind pricing hesitation, overcommitment, decision fatigue, and growth plateaus — the internal patterns that quietly shape external results.
Join Steven Ringelstein and Kerry Borcherding for a practical conversation about the hidden dynamics driving your business decisions, and how greater internal alignment can unlock clearer, more decisive leadership.

Podcasting That Connects
Most podcasts don’t fail because of bad production. They fail because they never create real connection.
Join podcast producer John Siracusa for an honest conversation about what actually makes people pay attention, trust you, and remember you. This is not a “grow your podcast” workshop. It’s a deeper look at how meaningful conversations create opportunity — in business and beyond.
No slides. No performance. Just a real conversation about connection, trust, and why most content misses the mark.
What's Your Business Really Worth?
Glen Cooper — Guest Speaker
Glen Cooper has spent nearly five decades helping business owners understand, grow, and ultimately sell what they’ve built. He began his career as a business broker in 1979 and has completed transactions across a wide range of industries—from local service companies to multi-location operations. For the first 25 years, he also worked as an accredited business appraiser, giving him a rare, ground-level view of what actually drives value (and what doesn’t).
Glen runs a boutique practice, working with just a handful of clients at a time. That depth shows up in his process—detailed financial modeling, real-world assumptions, and clear-eyed valuations that go far beyond generic “rules of thumb.”
He’s also the author of Glen Cooper on Business Brokerage, a 300-page guide drawn from decades in the field:

What’s Your Business Really Worth?
Most founders have a number in their head.
It’s usually wrong.
In this session, Glen will walk through how businesses are actually valued.
He’ll break down:
What buyers are really looking at when they evaluate your business
How Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) works—and why it matters more than profit
The hidden adjustments that can significantly raise or lower your valuation
How to estimate your business value in about an hour (without hiring an appraiser)
If you’re building with an exit in mind—or just want to understand what you’re really sitting on—this session will give you a much clearer picture.
30 minutes of content, followed by open Q&A. Bring your questions.
Attracting Bigger Clients (Without Becoming a Content Machine)
If you’ve ever thought:
“I know I should be posting more…”
“Everyone says LinkedIn matters…”
“Why does this feel like so much effort for so little return?”
This workshop is for you.
We’re going to take a hard look at where your best clients actually come from — and whether your current marketing energy matches that reality.
This session is designed for B2B service providers who want to:
Land larger, more sophisticated clients
Increase deal size and lifetime value
Grow revenue without becoming a full-time content creator
Stop marketing in ways that feel misaligned or draining
Inside the workshop, I’ll walk you through:
A simple revenue-origin exercise that reveals where your highest-value clients truly came from
A framework built on three fundamentals: knowing your audience, building genuine relationships, and offering real value
Practical strategies that consistently produce bigger opportunities — including speaking engagements, conferences, intelligent cold outreach, and strengthening your website as a positioning tool
This is not about abandoning visibility.
It’s about directing your energy toward what actually moves revenue.
Who This Is a Good Fit For
You want to move up-market
You’re tired of feeling the “should” around social media
You want a more focused, grown-up growth strategy
You’re ready to think strategically about client acquisition
If your business depends primarily on consumer marketing or high-volume social reach, skip this workshop.
But if you want higher-caliber clients and clearer marketing ROI, I've got some ideas for you to chew on.
