It's Sale Time!
Three offers for The Upper Hand subscribers
Hi friends
Coming in hot with three limited-time opportunities that might interest you.
And if you stick around to the end I’ll tell you what I’ve been up to since I returned from the family “trip.”
Likeable Badass discount - ends Friday!
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to pre-order your copy of Likeable Badass, today might be the day!
Barnes & Noble is offering 25% off pre-orders (35% for premium members) of Likeable Badass through Friday, April 19th.
You have to enroll in their Free Rewards program first.
Then add the book to your cart.
Enter PREORDER25 as a Coupon Code at checkout for $7.50 in savings on the hardcover.
This may be the biggest opportunity for a discount before the book releases on September 3, 2024, so don't miss it!
Already ordered? Thank you!
You can also help me out by sharing this with your networks, or gifting a copy to a friend (it's never too early to start holiday shopping, I say)
Thanks for your support and spreading the word!
p.s. The discount also applies to the ebook and audiobook as well.
p.p.s. If you're interested in a bulk order (10+ copies) or a book + speaking event, please reach out to me directly. I’m scheduling a limited number of events for fall and beyond.
Make Big Life Decisions Course
As if that weren’t enough, I have another deal for you.
Abby Davisson - Author, Fortune 200 leader-turned-entrepreneur, and holistic decision-making expert - is teaching a live, virtual, cohort-based course that launches April 26 called Make Big Life Decisions with More Ease and Less Angst.
The course is for you if you're seeking evidence-based wisdom, structure, and support as you consider a choice that feels scary, daunting, and exciting (a career pivot, a move, investing in a relationship or leaving one, for example).
The course will cover topics including clarifying your values and priorities; communicating effectively with important stakeholders; and avoiding the stumbling blocks that lead to regret.
Through short lessons, practical reflection exercises, personal stories, and interactive conversations, you'll break down a complex decision into manageable pieces. You'll walk away with a clear action plan customized to your specific situation and constraints, and you'll feel more empowered and confident as a result.
Abby has not only co-authored an insightful book on making big life decisions, she's applied its evidence-based framework to her own life to take big leaps. More information on the course is here, or you can reach out directly to abby@abbydavisson.com to learn more.
And, if you’re not already subscribed to Abby’s Substack, Practically Deliberate, you should!
All subscribers to The Upper Hand can enter code UPPERHAND100 for $100 off the course price.
But wait, there’s more!
Abby has generously offered a free spot in her course to one subscriber to The Upper Hand. To be entered into a drawing for the spot (an $800 value), simply apply using this link by 4/19 and mention "The Upper Hand" in the question that asks "How did you hear about this course?" The winner will be notified by 4/22.
The First 10 Winners - and Your Second Chance
If you don’t remember, when I launched The Upper Hand I promised to select ten subscribers from the first 1000 to get a 30-min Ask Alison Anything chat.
Well, we hit the 1000 mark in no time and the first ten winners were selected (using the highly scientific method of a toddler pointing at a screen).
It gave me all the feels to reconnect with some people I’ve known for years, and meet new people that found me through Substack.
If you weren’t notified, then you are part of the “unlucky 990".
But no need for tears, I’m doing it again! I’ll be drawing ten more names from the first 2000 subscribers, including existing subscribers.
So if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to tell your friends to join us, this is the time!
My updates…
If you’re curious what I’ve been doing since we were last together:
Hawaii was amazing. Great to be there, great to be home.
We all got the annual “post-vacation family illness.” You can read my whining about it here.
I’ve been gearing up to film some Likeable Badass videos (book trailers, bonus content for buyers) in NYC today! So far this has been my morning…
As soon as I win Powerball, the first thing I’m doing is hiring someone to do my hair and makeup every day.
After I survive today, my next priority is to answer all of the great questions you posted to our first Ask Alison Anything. Stay tuned for a discussion of burnout, working mom life, strategies for negotiating pay, and more.
As always, thanks for joining me. I’m grateful to have you here.
Cheers to success, friends!
