You are Just One Unbearable Truth Away from the Next Person You are Meant to Be
Adopt behaviors of the most successful change influencers.
Ended
Are you on the edge of pursuing a meaningful life change, but find yourself with a list of excuses? Is playing it safe the worn-out motto of your life? Or maybe your fear of failure is just louder than the call for change. Whatever it is, we all can relate to the strong desire to avoid risk.
Change deviants: The exit strategy to playing it safe explores the DNA of trailblazers called change deviants and synthesizes it into behaviors you can repeat. It elevates the power of lasting change by helping you unlock your personal change limiters such as your attitude, core beliefs, and personality characteristics.
Change deviants are rare, but we’ve all met them. They appear to jump into life changes effortlessly; tackling their fear of change at an alarmingly fast rate. In the workplace, they’re energized by new projects, team changes and even total re-organization. They are often visionaries who articulate crazy ideas and nourish them till they become reality. They are constantly looking for new ways of doing things and reinventing the status quo. In their personal lives, they’re relentlessly editing themselves whether through self-development or maybe by pushing you to change (annoyingly so). At times, keeping up with their evolving beliefs, preferences and projects is exhausting. Change deviants rarely play it safe. Instead, they are grounded in the fundamental belief that change is necessary for growth.
Whether you ascribe to their endless supply of change energy or duck down in your cubicle to avoid a run in, we all know change has numerous personal benefits such as helping you grow, teaching you resiliency, getting you outside your comfort zone and even living a more authentic life. While you might not want to copy everything change deviants do, their behaviors serve as a guide to tackling change head on.
The book will dive deep with some of the most inspiring change influencers, highlight their meaningful stories and decode the behaviors most important for change success. After exploring the makeup of these influencers, Change Deviants factors in a critical component to change success: your change DNA. Change is personal and while it’s important to learn from change deviants, the application of these concepts is deeply personal. While change is a process most can all relate to, cookie cutter solutions lack one critical thing-you.
Your attitudes, beliefs, skill level are factors that are foundational to how you and only you approach change. Change Deviants guides you through identifying your individual change limiters and personalizes behaviors that are specific to you. From the operational “I play it safe” thinker to the visionary idea generator-Change Deviants is your customized guide to finally pursuing each life change with behaviors that matter most for success.
Part I:
Equipped for Change: Stop skiing in your swimsuit
Playing it safe becomes muscle memory. It’s a series of small choices you’ve made that probably went unnoticed. Eventually the weight of those unfulfilled changes becomes compounded and heavy. You’ve created a solid plan in the past- so why haven’t you been successful? Having a plan doesn’t guarantee you’re equipped to execute it. When playing it safe becomes muscle memory, you unconsciously make decisions insulating you from risk. While your conscious mind is set to tackle the plan, your attitudes, beliefs and experiences are the GPS giving you directions. Your conscious mind was clear by typing in your maps app, “let’s head for the Rocky Mountains and go skiing,” However, your unconscious mind had a different idea, “let’s go lay on the beach in Pensacola.” Now you’re stuck wearing a swimming suit and flip flops right before you hit the slopes and wondering why everybody around you is in ski pants and has a lift ticket. You’ve gotten this far with a solid plan, so you hop on the ski lift and hope for the best. The result is always the same:epic failure. Funny enough, you believe the failure to execute the plan is your fault when in actuality you just weren’t equipped for success. Part I explores your unconscious mind asking hard questions like, “what attitudes, beliefs, and experiences mold the way I approach change?” or “why do I even want to change?”
It will explore:
Part II:
Here's to the Misfits: Change Deviants
Get personal insight into the world of change deviants through candid stories, interviews and discussions. Part II will dive deep into the behaviors that matter most for successful change then synthesize it into core skills & knowledge you can apply to your world. We’ll ask our change influencers important questions such as:
Potential Change Influencers (*subject to change-currently confirming all change influencer involvement. More details to come)
Unique to you: Developing a plan you can stick to
Your path to experience lasting change must be as unique as you. Chances are the core skills and behaviors our change deviants shared might have terrified you. Maybe they’re completely against any behavior you feel comfortable with. While change deviants have a propensity for change, their ability to jump in head first didn’t start with big ticket items like reinventing the healthcare industry. Similar to how you’ve protected yourself from change-they’ve done the same for playing it safe. Part III helps you understand your own risk tolerance and aligns customized behaviors to help you flex your change muscles. Don’t worry, if change terrifies you, we’ll help you adapt in small bites.
In Part III we will:
According to industry research, the self-development market is worth over 9 billion a year. However, the future of this market is currently in transition. Traditionally baby boomers have been the primary consumers of self-help, but will become a shrinking market as millennials transition to take their place.
Pew research validates the majority of Millennials feel they are a distinctive generation. Forbes reported in January 2018, 94% of Millennials are addicted to self-improvement and would be willing to spend $300 a month on it. They also spend twice as much on self-care regimens than their Baby Boomer counterparts. The same article also reports Millennials find themselves getting addicted to self-help without putting it into practice.
Millennials consumed the self-help market is a huge way in 2018. Rachel Hollis became more of phenomenon than anyone could predict with her New York Times Best Seller, “Girl Wash Your Face”. Unlike self-help mantras of old steeped in processes and data-driven research, Rachel encourages women they only need one thing to be happy and fulfilled-their inner power. Hollis isn’t the only trailblazer in this market. Gary Bishop’s 2016 New York Times Best Seller Un-Fu*k Yourself followed a similar theme: you are a miracle of being and you’re the only one stopping yourself. Let’s not forget Shauna Niequist’s Present Over Perfect or Jen Sincero’s, “You are a Badass” all focused-on transformation through your own inner power.
Millennials have spoken and their self-help market is taking a hard turn in the other direction in stark contrast to their Baby Boomer parents. The Millennial self-help mantra requires an authentic voice, the power to accomplish meaningful change through self-inflection, and a few inspiring role-models to get them there. Millennials also recognize they are over-consuming self-help and are seeking to embrace action.
Our book market is the next generation of self-help consumers: Millennial men & women (ages 23-38). Our readers are in pursuit of becoming the best version of themselves. They already consume self-help through podcasts, books, and following inspirational social media accounts. However, they are tired of endlessly pursuing their self-help journey just for the warm-feelings it brings them. They believe consuming has been useful but are ready to act. Our readers already believe they have the power within them to pursue important life goals and are ready to do the self-work to drive real results.
Change Deviants speaks to the millennial self-help mantra. It meets them in a powerful place using authentic voices, real self-discovery and introduces a few inspiring role models along the way. At the core is a focus on the power of self, but more importantly the exploration of self to embrace all life changes. The book builds the foundation for actioning self-help goals which require lasting change.

Upcoming Speaking Engagements/Workshops
The science behind change is a well-explored topic. Our fascination with digging deep into the human psyche to understand what prevents us from lasting change has been explored by psychologists, sociologists, life coaches, program developers and so many more. Authors who share their insights on this topic have created an interesting and compelling body of research that sheds light on everything from how to effectively influence organizational change to the impact our logical vs. emotional brain plays on change. Most books have a one-size fits all model to more effectively help you navigate change. Change Deviants is unique because it assumes one critical thing: personal change is as unique as each person. It’s a true self-development guide that helps readers dig deep on important topics like how their attitude, core beliefs and experiences impact their approach to change.
Here's where the competition falls:
Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Dan Health & Chip Heath, Crown Business, February 2010
In Switch, the authors explore why it’s so hard to make lasting change in our personal lives, work lives and our communities. It explores an obstacle we all face that is built into our brains: the rational mind vs. the emotional mind. These two forces are always competing for control and create an ongoing conflict between meaningful life changes. The book explores everyday people who have effectively learned to balance the rational vs. emotional mind and the lasting impact it has had on tackling meaningful life changes.
Change Deviants will explore some components of the rational vs. emotional brain, but will take this even further by synthesizing it on the personal level. While Switch provides another excellent change management model-Change Deviants helps readers create a customized plan to help readers navigate their personal change goals.
Change or Die by Alan Deutschman, Harper Business, December 2007
In Change or Die, Alan argues when given the chance to change-we rarely do. From patients who are suffering from heart disease who have been given the opportunity to change many times to repeat offenders in the criminal justice system-change is not easy. In his book, Alan provides a simple repeatable process to approach change more effectively-relate, repeat and reframe. Using breakthrough research from well-respected leaders in medicine, science and business, Alan shares how anyone can approach change in an attainable way.
Change Deviants will explore some of the personal change topics discussed in Change or Die, but will expand beyond a uniform model to help readers navigate change. It will dig a layer deeper by truly being a self-development book to support readers in reaching their customized change goals.
Who Moved my Cheese by Spencer Johnson, G.P. Putnam’s Sons, September 1998
Who Moved my Cheese is a well-known classic that explores the challenges of change. It identifies the primary pitfalls of change: it’s outside our control, you cannot determine when it will hit, and our responses are often the same whether it happens to us or we choose it. Who Moved my Cheese assumes there is one primary factor that dictates change success; our attitude. It explores a simple way to tackle normal change emotions like fear and anxiety in order to have a more positive view of change.
Change Deviants will discuss how your attitude more broadly impacts change, but it will focus predominately on changes that are inside your control. Who Moved my Cheese provides support for individuals focusing on changes outside their control while Change Deviants will focus only on changes within a person’s control.

ADKAR: A Model for Change in Business, Government and our Community by Jeffrey M. Hiatt, Prosci Learning Center Publications, August 2006)

ADKAR (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability to demonstrate core skills & behaviors and reinforcement to make the change stick. It is a well-known model used by organizations and individuals.
Change Deviants will explore some of the components addressed in ADKAR but will focus more on change at the personal level.

Change Deviants will not assume a one-size fits all change models works for everyone. It will support a customized self-development plan for readers.

Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.

Why Publish with RJPP?
The book business is a difficult pursuit. Especially for an Independent writer. The decision to go it alone and self-publish, or go with a small press is strictly an individual business decision. Hiring professional freelance resources like editors, cover designers, and formatters can be daunting enough. Let alone that dreaded marketing and promotion. All of that takes precious time away from what you could be doing. Writing!
With an experienced Literary Agent, award-winning Author, publicist, and publisher like RJ Parker, you don't have to do it alone. RJPP offers years of success and reputation to represent you and your work. Ask yourself, “Do I want to succeed? Is my book worthy of reaping all it is worth and then some?” If you take pride in your work and want to excel to the top, RJ Parker will implement his years of knowledge and skills learned as an industry leader in marketing to get your work into the hands of the people who matter.
What about the nitty-gritty financial workings?
We don't pay advances as a traditional firm does. (which in this business, an advance is used against royalties before you get paid) BUT, we DO pay a much higher royalty rate AND you get paid every month! The standard industry royalty rate is 12-16%. We pay 50% to established writers, and 40% to new authors. (New authors will pay a setup fee). For the majority of authors, we pay the cost of editing, cover artist, ISBN number, formatting, etc.
Interested?
If you are looking for mediocrity or status quo, RJ Parker may not be a good fit for you. However, Parker is a go-getter in the industry who will not cease until he makes your dreams become your reality!

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

Bestsellers are great. Long-term sellers are even better. We'll help you do both.
Project Bestseller is about creating bestsellers. More importantly, it’s about building author platforms and long-term success. We’re building books that sell well over time, generate income for their authors, and create a lasting impact for their readers.
How? The surface answer to this question is:
- crafting each book for maximum appeal to readers
- editing, design, and production with quality to match or exceed traditional publishers
- building an author platform to build loyalty and reach
- optimizing marketing elements such as keywords, categories, and sales copy
- leveraging promotion and advertising to generate sales at a profit
A deeper answer is: with strategy, curiosity, and intense passion.
Why? We believe good books should sell. If you're like most of our clients, you have a big vision for your book. It represents you. It says something about who you are. Now you’re ready for it to start touching lives.
You can probably think of half a dozen books that have become part of the grain of your life, because they gave you exactly what you needed at the time—whether it was a feeling, an experience, a different perspective, or just the information you needed to unlock your next possibility.
Now it's your turn. We can help you impact your readers with your book. It's what we do.
We've been helping authors finish and publish their books since 2012. Services include: ghostwriting, editing, cover design, book design, formatting, publishing guidance, launch planning, marketing.
