What do students say about the 7-Day Book Challenge?
Students describe going from a blank page to a published book on Amazon in just seven days, several calling it one of the best decisions they made as a business owner. The video is a compilation of testimonials from people who completed the challenge, describing the emotional swings, the community support, and the results they walked away with.
What problems did students have before the challenge?
Several students mention struggling with writer’s block and knowing what they wanted to say but having trouble putting it into words. One student describes a “trough of despair” moment partway through, feeling overwhelmed and frustrated after reflecting on past money spent on things that went nowhere.
What results did students report?
- One student went from no book at all to published on Amazon in seven days.
- Another said the challenge was the reason they had a book written that year at all.
- A student sold a meaningful portion of their book quickly and landed on a best seller list, which they called “icing on the cake” since it wasn’t the original goal.
- One student cited a specific milestone number, 20,780, while recounting their experience.
- Multiple students say they credit using AI tools as part of what made hitting their goals possible, including one aiming to publish five books over five years.
What did students value most about the challenge?
Students point to the cohort format, being alongside others who were “still figuring out how to get from starting to climb up,” and hearing from experts throughout the week. They also highlight learning how to structure a book, break down ideas, and use the tools to craft a clearer, more condensed outline. Several credit the community, referred to in the video as the “Jarvis Underground community,” with giving them a fast track to the exact steps needed and for helping extract a book that had been sitting in their mind for years.
Full video transcript
I had suffered from terrible writer’s block. I knew what I wanted to say but I kept having trouble putting pen to paper. The trough of despair — and oh my gosh, this is overwhelming too. But when I look at all of the money that I’ve spent on stuff that went nowhere, you tend to get a little mad at yourself.
Just seven days ago I did not have this book, but I went from blank page here to published on Amazon in just seven days. If it wasn’t for this challenge, I probably would not have had a book written this year, so I would say for me the challenge was absolutely worth it. Everything changed for me. Some people are just like right alongside you, like they’re still figuring out how to get from starting to climb up and see the light and be like, okay, I think I can get my book published.
It’s nice, it’s nice to be a part of a cohort of people going through the challenge and hearing from experts and learning really what it takes to write a book that people want to read, how to structure the book and how to break down the ideas, and then how to use the tools. They actually helped me craft the outline in a better way, one that was condensed, that was thoughtful. Had a great time doing the challenge, it was really fun.
I did twenty thousand seven hundred eighty, it was nice. Congratulations, man, great job. My goal of publishing five books over five years is totally doable because I used AI in it, and then I sold the book, a good portion of it, by how fast I did it. And the best seller list was just — that was just icing on the cake. I didn’t intend on that, and so those are kind of cool, you know, those are pretty big categories, that was fun.
Using this tool was super helpful, it definitely kind of captured my imagination and got me rolling with it, and the help of the Jarvis Underground community gave me the fast track to know exactly the steps to do it in. I just want to give a big shout out to these guys because they were able to extract a book that’s been sitting in my mind for years, and finally it’s actually in my hands.
Truly an incredible experience, we’ll definitely do it again. There are experiences you have in life that motivate you for a moment then they go away, and then there are things that you go through that actually truly do change how you see the world. I do recommend it, cannot recommend it enough. It’s for you. I would highly recommend you picking up this seven day book challenge, and I think that this is going to be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made as a business owner.
