You're Told to "Build Systems"—But When?
Every guru says the same thing: “Systematize your business.” Great advice. Except…
You’re already drowning. Another book to launch. Ads to monitor. Emails to write. Social posts that should’ve gone out yesterday. A reader newsletter you keep meaning to start.
You’ve tried the courses. Watched the tutorials. Started building automations at 11pm after the kids went to bed—only to abandon them half-finished because something more urgent came up.
The tools are there. The knowledge is there. What’s missing is protected time with expert guidance to actually build the thing.
That’s what the Intensive is: three days where building your systems IS the job.
What You'll Build in 3 Days
Your complete StorytellerOS—customized for your books, your brand, your workflow. Not templates. Your actual business systems, built and running.
Command Center Dashboard
A single hub tracking projects, tasks, launches, sales, and campaigns. No more bouncing between six different apps.
Automation Engine
Social media, launches, email sequences, and direct sales funnels running on autopilot while you write.
AI Brand Guides
Your Brand Guide, Copywriting Guide, and Social Media Guide—so your AI writes like you, not a robot.
Faceless Video System
Turn book metadata into video content for TikTok, Reels, and ads—branded scripts and prompts included.
Newsletter Pipeline
One email becomes 30 days of on-brand content—ideas, images, CTAs, and engagement hooks that sell books.
AI Newsletter Agent
A research and writing agent that drafts your newsletter in your voice, syndicates to social, and handles inquiries.
Voice-to-Workflow
Speak a chapter or a task; it routes and schedules automatically. Dictate a to-do, and the system knows what to do.
Complete Integration Stack
Airtable, Google Drive, TypingMind, image generation, templates, and social scheduler—all connected and ready.
This Isn't a Workshop. It's a Work-Through.
No slides. No lectures. No “homework” to finish later.
For three days, you and seven other authors work alongside me. We build your systems together—customized for your catalog, your voice, your workflow. When something breaks, we fix it. When you have a question, we answer it.
By the time you leave, your automations are tested, your systems are live, and your business is ready to scale.
And you’re not alone after that. Your Intensive includes a full year of Mastermind access—weekly calls, software licenses, and direct support to keep your systems sharp as your business grows.
