13 Week A to Z

Going forward, you will earn 100% of the royalties from your print edition and get paid directly from the distributor. I’ll just need you to setup an account with IngramSpark and provide me your account info (account #, name, and email you register with them) so I can transfer your print titles to you (there’s no cost to you and you’ll now get paid directly for all print sales). The reason is that I am phasing out most of the ‘physical’ book publishing side of my business to focus more of my time and energy on the digital editions. The time it takes for me to run sales reports for the print sales outweighs the tiny royalties I earn for the majority of the titles I published in print. The 100% royalty will go into effect once Ingram successfully transfers your titles to your account.

The 13 weeks A-Z system can inspire a focus by week on projects that are important. The idea is to pick 13 projects you will focus on each year. You the focus on each project for 1 week 4x per year:

| ID | Week I | Week II | Week III | Week IV | |----|---|----|-----|----| | Proj1 | 1 | 14 | 27 | 40 | | Proj2 | 2 | 15 | 28 | 41 | | Proj3 | 3 | 16 | 29 | 42 | | Proj4 | 4 | 17 | 30 | 43 | | Proj5 | 5 | 18 | 31 | 44 | | Proj6 | 6 | 19 | 32 | 45 | | Proj7 | 7 | 20 | 33 | 46 | | Proj8 | 8 | 21 | 34 | 47 | | Proj9 | 9 | 22 | 35 | 48 | | Proj10 | 10 | 23 | 36 | 49 | | Proj11 | 11 | 24 | 37 | 50 | | Proj12 | 12 | 25 | 38 | 51 | | Proj13 | 13 | 26 | 39 | 52 |

For the weeks of the year, here's when the weeks fall (starting on a Monday). A few exceptions jack this up - Week 9 begins on 2/29.

The idea is to overly your 13 projects on each week 4x/year.

This is a good way to implement big projects. A author marketing plan for example. It gives structure to Chaos.

It's how brenda could have asked 10 people/week to review her book. She's still reaping the rewards of that effort!

| ID | Week I | Week II | Week III | Week IV | |----|---|----|-----|----| | Jan | 4 | 11 | 18 | 25 | | Feb | 1 | 8 | 15 | 22 | | Mar | 3 | 16 | 29 | 42 | | Apr | 4 | 17 | 30 | 43 | | May | 5 | 18 | 31 | 44 | | Jun | 6 | 19 | 32 | 45 | | Jul | 7 | 20 | 33 | 46 | | Aug | 8 | 21 | 34 | 47 | | Sep | 9 | 22 | 35 | 48 | | Oct | 10 | 23 | 36 | 49 | | Nov | 11 | 24 | 37 | 50 | | Dec | 12 | 25 | 38 | 51 | | Proj13 | 13 | 26 | 39 | 52 |
