INCOME REPORT
October’s revenues were $5,589, up from September’s $5,093. Profits were $3,627, up from $3,242.

You can see the "profit" trend-line is slightly downward over the past three years.

That's not all bad. I'll tell you why...

Mind Management, Not Time Management brought in $2,410 revenue in October (in 4 days). Profits were $2,190.

When I factor in preview edition sales and up-front expenses, profits are over $4,000.

The Heart to Start's profits were $3,300 the first *year* (on $15,000 ad spend).

Profits across all self-published books in October were $2,246.

Good news: Self-published book profits are on the rise (see trend line).

Looking across all categories, we can see that digital products, services, and podcast income are down over the past three years.

Yet affiliates and book sales are trending upward.

This is good: Those are the categories I want going up. I've de-prioritized the others.

I'm happy to report The Heart to Start has now sold over 20,000 copies!

Notice total profits are nearly $14,000, after three years. Remember, it netted only $3,300 the first year.

The Heart to Start's profits are accelerating.
