Tired of Being Your Industry’s Best-Kept Secret?
Become the Go-To Figure of Authority in Your Industry
Michael Stickler is a best-selling author, publisher, philanthropist, horseman, and internationally sought-after speaker. His highly acclaimed work includes Cliven Bundy: American Terrorist Patriot, Journey to Generosity, and Life Without Reservation. His most recent book, Ghost Patriot is his first book in the political fiction genre, and it is quickly approaching best-seller status.
When not traveling the world as an author, speaker, and publisher, you might find Michael in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, or on the beach near Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, writing his next book.
Achieving Authority in a Noisy Market is Challenging
You’re all alone in the barren American southwest. You stand tall with your hand shielding your eyes from the scorching sun - all you see is the endless Route 66 stretch.
You begin trekking down the road, but every step takes a little more breath away and makes your tongue a little sandier.
Soon, the acidity of your sweat smoldering your eyes blurs your vision. You wipe it off, look up and no progress has been made. You’re done for.
This is what becoming a figure of authority feels like: Walking down an endless road with no map and no matter how far you walk, you never seem to get closer to your destination.
But here’s something all great industry leaders know…
Authority is All About Storytelling
A mistake you might be making when building an authoritative brand is expecting people to care about your message from the get-go.
And while you may have invaluable experience to share with the world, the noisy and saturated nature of business will drown you out.
The solution is creating a powerful book that exemplifies your values and mission. This way, people can relate to it and opt out if what you’re promoting isn’t for them.
And I came up with five steps carefully crafted to help professionals feeling lost in their journey towards becoming an industry leader, gain the clarity and confidence to write a best-selling book.

What Others Are Saying About the Invisible to Viral Course
Jamie G.
This short book written by Michael Stickler is well written and it held my attention from start to finish. In fact, I was disappointed that it was so short. I wanted more. It is filled with valuable insights into the world of writing and is a true to life scenario of the dilemmas faced by many new authors. I highly recommend this short piece to anyone who has an interest in becoming an author.
Steve Sanders
This book is a nice introduction to the various options for publishing a book and both the positives and negatives of each type. It’s also a great handbook overview of Leadership Books’ unique approach that offers the best components of these options to allow a new author to get published without as many hurdles. This is a great, short read for anyone interested in writing a book with several nice takeaways (don’t miss Mitch’s list!). It’s even better for someone considering Leadership Books.
If You’re Serious About Writing That Book, Why Are You Still Operating on an Ancient, 30-Year-Old Publishing Model?
Paying another publisher would cost you 50 times what this book would… Plus, they wouldn’t even try to sell your book, they’d just put it up on some shelf to gather dust.
You are left to your own devices to work through the entire book publishing process with no proven method.
Plus, the clarity, confidence, and reputation you could gain by publishing a best-seller would go down the drain.

What Successful Authors Are Saying About Invisible to Viral
A novel is, by definition, “telling lies for fun and profit.” And this book is a lot of fun. But INVISIBLE TO VIRAL has a lot of truth in it, too. I can tell, just by reading, that Michael Stickler has poured a lot of his lifetime experiences into the story. Virtually every published author will warm to the “truth” vibe. It’s putting out vibrations of reality, like a relaxing back massager loosens tight muscles! Thanks, Michael, for this excellent story. Shouldn’t the reader get a PhD, or something?
Terry Paulson
Who better can guide you through the ups and downs of publishing a book than a guy that has authored 20 books and created his own publishing company? On top of that he's a sought-after speaker on both, the national and international levels. That's Mike Stickler, and in his newest book, "Invisible to Viral," he delves into the world so many others are seeking to join - taking the wealth of knowledge, business and experience of a business man and thrusting him into the world of becoming an author. Writing a great book is more than putting knowledge onto paper, as Mike's newest book and lead character adeptly displays. This book may be the very thing that goes a long way in helping you become more than an author of a book- it may push the limits to becoming the author of a book that goes from "Invisible to Viral."

For anyone with a story to tell or knowledge to share, 'Invisible to Viral' is your first step towards turning your invisible dream into a viral reality. It's more than a book—it's a roadmap to authorial success that I wish I'd had when I started my own writing journey.
Gail Okuley
Prepare to embark on a transformative journey that holds the potential to turn your dream of writing a book into a reality! John Larsen’s captivating story, though a work of fiction, is not solely a product of author Michael Stickler’s imaginative narration. The profound insights Mike infuses into his character’s journey stem from decades of writing excellence, successful publishing, and invaluable entrepreneurial experience. After reading Invisible to Viral, I found myself wishing it had been available before I wrote my first book. The wisdom within these pages, offering a path to success and the opportunity to learn from the author’s experience, could have spared me from countless moments of confusion, indecision, and disappointment. I'm confident it will do so for you. As you near the end of this inspiring story, don’t overlook the invaluable advice in “A Note from the Author” and the “Epilogue.” These sections are not just there to conclude the book but contain critical insights to empower you with the tools you need to bring the book in your heart to life, potentially through a partnership with Leadership Books. I, for one, am deeply grateful I made the decision to engage in this relationship for my first book.
