It’s Gettin’ REAL…

One Thing to READ, One Thing to WATCH, One Thing to DO... TODAY.

Ryan Levesque

Return to Real officially releases this Tuesday, September 29th.
 
And this past week, I personally signed and shipped 300 Green Linen Heirloom Edition copies of the book to early major supporters… Many of whom ordered 100 copies or more to share with the world.
BTW – I have a VERY small handful of heirloom copies set aside for my personal library. If you’d like a signed copy, simply pre-order 100 copies of the book before Tuesday, and I’ll mail you a signed green linen first edition from my personal library as my way of saying thank you.
 
Since I literally only have a handful of these, this is first-come, first-served. SHOOT ME AN EMAIL if you’d like to do this and I will get you a private link.
 
With that said…
 
Since we’re less than 48 hours from book release, I’ve got three things for you today:
 
One thing to READ. One thing to WATCH. One thing to DO… today.

1 | One Thing to READ...

Inc. magazine ran a feature this week leading up to the launch of Return to Real, and it’s the REAL story behind the book, including parts I’ve NEVER shared before publicly.
 
If you’ve ever wondered what REALLY happened to lead to writing this book, read it here:
 

2 | One Thing to WATCH...

I sat down with the Moneywise podcast for ninety minutes last week, and it’s the most transparent conversation I’ve ever had about money publicly…
 
What I paid for the farm. What it costs to run. The money I walked away from. And how I decided what I had was “enough”…
 
I’ve never shared those numbers publicly before.
 
Sam Parr described the episode as “The wet dream of many men…”
If you’re curious about all the numbers, here are the links to watch / listen today:
 
 
And last but not least…

3 | One Thing to DO...

If you haven’t ordered your copy of Return to Real yet, I want to let you know:
 
This is your LAST CHANCE to pre-order the book before it goes LIVE on Tuesday.
 
Every version is ON SALE on Amazon in these last few days leading up to launch, including the Kindle that’s currently 50% off for just $9.99.
 
You can order the Paperback, Kindle, or Audiobook. AND when you order TODAY, any one of these versions qualifies you for $286 in bonuses:
 
  • The RTR Roundtable Series. Three interactive sessions with me where we go DEEP into the teachings of the book. Live sessions plus recordings. ($179 Value)
  • The Missing Chapter. A brand-new chapter, not in the book, on how Return to Real applies to where AI is right now at this moment. ($49 Value)
  • The Practices Guide and the Reflections Guide. The two companion resources from the back of the book on how to implement the RTR principles in your business and life. ($29 Value Each.)
 
Here’s what to do step-by-step to qualify for the $286 in bonuses:
 
  1. Pre-order the book on Amazon, in whichever format you’d like: Paperback, Kindle, Audiobook
  2. Visit the bonus claim page below, enter your name, email, and order number, and we’ll get you set up with all the bonuses you see below:
 
The pre-order bonus window closes Monday, September 28th at 11:59pm US Pacific. The night before launch, so we’re down to the last opportunity to do this.
* * *
So there you have it:
 
One thing to READ. One thing to WATCH. And one thing to DO.
 
Remember to hug the ones you love…
 
See you on Tuesday!
 
Ryan :-)
 
P.S. By the way, if you’ve already ordered the book, you’ve had a chance to take a squint at it, and you’re wondering what to DO NOW?? My BIG ASK for you today is this:
 
Please take a moment to leave an early, advance REVIEW.
 
It is by far the single most important thing you can do right now today.
 
Reviews in the first days around launch are the single biggest ingredient in spreading the word about a book, and early reviews from actual readers like you matter more than almost anything else.
 
Amazon and Goodreads forbid authors from offering anything in return, so I cannot bribe you with a bonus or gift for doing this.
 
All I can do is beg… nicely :-)
 
You don’t have to be finished. AND you can always UPDATE your review later as you read more of the book…
 
Even one line works, something like: “I just started chapter one, and already this book has deeply resonated.”
 
For reference, here’s what one early reader, Marian Wulz, wrote part-way through his read:
Amazon reviews open on Tuesday, launch day. GoodReads reviews are open right now TODAY. If you would take 60 seconds to leave a rating and review right now on GoodReads using the link below it would mean the absolute world to me:
 
 
I’m trying to get to 20 Goodreads Ratings/Reviews before launch and we’re already nearly halfway there. 20 is the first critical milestone. Your review could be the one that nudges us over that very important number…
 
Thank you for your incredible support!!!
 
P.P.S. Once you’ve left your review, take a quick screenshot and SHOOT ME AN EMAIL with it so I can say thank you!!
