Every author is on a different journey. Some finish in 4 months, others take 6–12 months. That’s why The Impact System™ is designed to work at your pace. You’ll always have structure, feedback, and coaching available so you’re never stuck — whether you write fast or slow.

You’ll be part of our private Skool community, where you’ll get access to every training module inside The Impact System™.

Inside, you can ask questions anytime, share your manuscript for feedback, and get direct input from Blake on your book’s structure to ensure you’re heading in the right direction.

You’ll also have weekly group coaching calls for guidance and accountability, plus access to custom GPT tools that walk you through each step of the process — so you’re never stuck waiting for answers or direction.

It’s everything you need to stay supported, on track, and confident as you write and publish your book.

You'll book your onboarding call with Blake within the first week, get introduced into the Skool community and kickoff your book writing journey with the first phase: Mindset To Manuscript. You'll have everything you need to get started.

Your plan includes 6 months of access. Most authors finish their draft and are ready for publishing in that time.

But here’s the thing — writing and publishing is just the start. If you want to go further and actually use your book to grow your business, it’s worth staying on for continued coaching and access to Publish to Profit™. This is where you’ll learn how to turn your book into clients, speaking gigs, and long-term authority.

So while 6 months is the minimum commitment, many authors choose to stay connected as they shift from finishing their book to profiting from it. We also understand that everyones timeline is different, so we don't lock you in to a 12 month container. 6-12 months is the sweet spot, and you can stay on month to month from there.

Firstly, you're not falling behind. Writing a book is a project, and everyone moves at a different pace. You’ll never lose what you’ve already done — and you’ll always have the option to continue month-to-month after your initial 6 months. Many authors choose to stay connected to keep using the Publish to Profit™ framework and stay in the Impact Group Publishing network, so their book doesn’t just get finished — it actually grows (or starts) their business.

Perfect! The Impact System™ is designed for beginners. You’ll get templates, frameworks, and coaching to make writing step-by-step and simple — even if you haven’t written more than a blog post before.

And for those who prefer to dictate than write, there's modules inside Mindset To Manuscript that help you speak your book on the page.

Yes — self-publishing does come with additional costs like editing, cover design, and formatting. We’ll guide you on what’s essential at your budget. There are custom GPT's to self edit your work. But we can also help you get your book edited, cover designed and formatted, or give guidance and help you avoid unnecessary expenses.

Absolutely. Inside Publishing Passage™ you’ll get step-by-step guidance on how to brief and hire editors, choose the right cover designer, and find affordable formatters who deliver professional results. We can also provide services for editing, cover design and formatting that aligns with your budget.

Most people think ROI comes only from book sales — but that’s not where the real payoff is. Books aren’t about $7 royalties, they’re about positioning. A professional book can land you clients worth $2,000–$20,000+, open doors to speaking gigs and media opportunities, and build long-term credibility and authority.

That’s why Publish to Profit™ is such a critical part of The Impact System™. It’s not just about finishing a book — it’s about leveraging it as a marketing asset that pays off for years. Blake used his book Publish To Impact to create Impact Group Publishing

You could try to figure this out on your own, but that’s why most people never finish. You end up circling back to your book years later, still stuck in the same position you are now. A proven system gives you the step-by-step roadmap so you’re never guessing. Group coaching adds accountability, real-time feedback, and support so you keep moving.

Together, they’re what makes the difference between “I’ll write it someday” and actually holding your finished book in your hands within six months.

Because it’s designed for authors who want the complete book-writing and self-publishing system — with structure, coaching, and community — without the done-for-you publishing services.

You’ll follow the same proven framework Blake uses with his private clients, just in a group-based, self-led format.

Some authors also choose this option because they’re writing a shorter book or a lead-generation asset, where a fully managed publishing package isn’t necessary.

It’s the most accessible way to write, finish, and self-publish your book with expert guidance, while staying in control of the process and budget.

Both lead you to the same outcome — becoming a published author who grows their brand and authority. The difference is in how much support and implementation you want. Idea to Impact™ is a done-with-you program that includes one-on-one coaching with Blake and a professional publishing team who handle editing, design, and distribution for you. It’s the fastest, most hands-on path to becoming a published author.

The Impact System™ gives you the same frameworks and guidance, but in a group-based, self-led format. You’ll get the roadmap, accountability, and community support to write and publish your book — while staying in control of your own timeline and publishing process.

In short:

Idea to Impact™ = personalised support and done-for-you publishing.
The Impact System™ = structure, support, and community so you can do it yourself — with expert guidance.
