Holiday Offer
Content Makeover Offer Ends Tonight

In case you missed my Black Friday offer that’s good through 11:59 p.m. today (Monday), here it is…

Sign up for a Story Power Content Makeover to transform your website, LinkedIn profile, sales letter, or some other piece of content from “blah” to “ah-ha…”

…so you captivate prospects and inspire them to act. 
 

Here’s how this works: 

1. You schedule a 30-minute content makeover Zoom session with me.
2. At least 2 days before the session you send me the content you want me to review. It could be a link to the front page of your website, your LinkedIn profile, a landing page, sales letter, or any other content designed to attract and engage prospects, and drive action.
3. I’ll review the content before we meet, and…
4. When we meet on Zoom for 30 minutes, I’ll offer at least five recommendations to help you transform the content from “blah” to “ah-ha.”

These will be recommendations you can implement immediately so your content inspires prospects to act. And the tips you get in this makeover session will apply to much more than the single piece of content we review. 
  

I usually charge $200 for the Content Makeover. 
 

Next month, I’m raising the price because (among other reasons) my mastermind partners tell me $200 is way to low for this service. 
 

So this is your one-and-only chance to get the makeover for $200 $100. 
 

Here’s How to Get this Offer…
 

1. Go to tommail.me/makeover and click the big, orange “Book Me” button.
2. Choose the “Story Power Makeover” offer and click “Book Now”
3. On the checkout page enter discount code” GOODTHROUGHMONDAY” to save $100.

When you buy, you’ll suggest three times that work for you. I’ll circle back to confirm one of the times, and then we’re on.

Quentin Tarantino’s Cinema Speculation

I love to read books written by great creators. And filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is a great creator.

His first nonfiction book was published earlier this month. Over the weekend, I couldn’t put it down. 

Even if you don’t like Tarantino’s films, you might still love this book.

You can kick the tires with a free  excerpt here.

The New Yorker Profiles James Cameron

Speaking of great filmmakers…

James Cameron is back. Thirteen years after releasing Avatar, he released the sequel this month. 

In 2009, weeks before he released the first Avatar, The New Yorker dove deep into how Cameron works. 

This is a fascinating article (thanks, Tim Ferriss for recommending it), loaded with lessons for anyone who runs a business or creates content. 

Words to Ponder…
…from James Cameron

Here are a few quotes I like from Cameron:

“Curiosity is the most powerful thing you own.”

“There are many talented people who haven’t fulfilled their dreams because they over thought it, or they were too cautious, and were unwilling to make the leap of faith.”

“If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.”
