Mind Management: 50,000 copies sold!

September 18 2025 – 08:47pm

I’ve once again updated the wheat-flanked words on Mind Management, Not Time Management, this time with a majorly-significant milestone: It’s now sold 50,000 copies (at least).

To celebrate, I’ve temporarily marked the Kindle version down to $5.00, which is probably the weirdest price-point on the entire Kindle store right now.

Sales broke through the 50k mark after I got a report from one of my foreign rights deals. I’ve made several foreign rights deals for MMT, and this is the first sales report I’ve received, so the book has no doubt sold even more copies I don’t know about.

How surprising is it to sell 50,000 copies? I know almost exactly. In my September 2020 income report, I said I was 50% sure I’d sell between 20,000–50,000 within the first three years. I pretty much split the middle on that prediction.

But, I didn’t make a prediction for 5 years. That just seemed crazy. Anyway, it was about a coin-toss, which in retrospect feels luckier than 50/50 to win. Who can guarantee 50k sales? No one.

If you haven’t picked up Mind Management on Kindle, please grab it for 50,000-tenths of a penny.
