It's so challenging when you have an idea that you KNOW will serve the needs of others, fill a pain-point, and provide value BUT how to get it out to others?! Learning from Lisa about HOW she turned her idea into a best-selling book, held in the hands of her tribe, and not just collecting proverbial dust in her computer, is incredibly valuable information! Can't wait to learn more, and I know you will too!

I was incredibly impressed with Lisa's organizational and managerial skills when she sought to fund the second volume of the Knocked Up Abroad book series. Through her leadership, flexibility and innovation, she was able to quickly change plans to go with what works for raising money.

As contributors, Lisa kept us fully informed and engaged throughout the whole process, which I really appreciated. Her commitment to getting this project more than fully funded was unswerving, and her passion nothing less than inspiring.
