Sam Garcia's first book, Regenerative Business: How to Align Your Business with Nature for More Abundance, Fulfillment, and Impact made quite a (quiet but impactful) splash right out of the gate.

It sold 2,589 copies in its first 30 hours on the market and hit #1 on several (large and relevant) Amazon lists, including Women in Business, Entrepreneurship, and Environmentalism.

It also hit #72 in the entire Kindle store (which boasts millions of titles), and when I checked it was #949 in the entire paperback store.

These are big accomplishments, without doubt.

But did it all happen with nary a plan? Absolutely not.

In this episode of the Write the Damn Book Already podcast, Sam and I chatted about exactly what led to this incredible launch (and how she's planning to keep the momentum going!).

INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

💥 The REAL reason she was able to hit all the charts and make all the sales (hint: it's all about authentic relationship building)

💥 The thought shift that got Sam writing again after a 4-month hiatus (and compelled her to finish the book in the next month)

💥 Sam's plans to continue to ride the "amazing launch" wave (her lack of "hustle attitude" will inspire you, I promise)

💥 The benefit of writing the book you WANT to write, not the one you think you SHOULD write
