A member of the Thriver’s Club recently cornered me and said, “Okay, you’ve got some explaining to do, why did I find out about the book being available for purchase on social media before hearing it from you?"
The short answer is that I received a call a couple of weeks ago from my publisher, informing me that the book had been released much earlier than expected. Originally, we planned for a late September release. When I got the news, I was tied up with board meetings, bank meetings, presentation preparations and audio recordings, and wasn’t prepared to make a full announcement. Over the past two weeks, I've been reaching out to people in my network one by one, encouraging them to check out the book.
So, consider this the formal announcement, Twice Over a Man is out, and it's doing great! The generous comments I've received from those who have finished the book have been overwhelming. As many of you know, I’ve set a public goal of reaching 10,000 readers. One business leader told me, "Your problem won't be reaching 10,000 readers," and added, "The real challenge is reaching the right readers." I’m blessed to have so many good people in my network, and I believe we’re going to do something amazing with this book.
My email is (ok@orvinkimbrough.com). Please direct any comments about the book there, or share your thoughts on your social media platforms, and consider leaving a review on Amazon. I am particularly interested in the impact of the book on you and your thinking. I am interested in your raw and unbiased perception.
I have 50 out of our target of 100 people who have signed up to help spread the word about the book. Thank you! Remember, if you have signed up on LinkedIn or Facebook, you have only committed to learn more. You may also be here because you are interested in reading the book. No matter why you are here, thank you. This is a place where I will work to enroll more people to read and discuss the book. I will be fielding questions about the book and the happenings on these channels and at orvinkimbrough.com.

Engage 10 others to read the book as part of your team. Discuss the book with them, especially parts that resonate with your and their lives. We believe that after reading Twice Over a Man: A Fierce Memoir of an Orphan Boy Who Doggedly Determined a Finer Life, readers will be encouraged, inspired, and equipped with actionable strategies to shift their mindset and improve their lives.
Ask each of the 10 you engage to engage 10 more people. This is a crucial step, if we don’t ask, people will not act.
When we reach 10,000 people, Orvin will host one group digital author Q&A for you and the people you invite to read the book at a date to be determined. The first 100 will be invited to a private in-person reception and receive a discount on the book. Ten percent of the profits will go to support charity, a real full circle moment!
