Matthew Kimberly: Get a F*cking Grip! (and Book Yourself Solid)

Matthew Kimberly is the CEO at Book Yourself Solid Worldwide, founder of The School for Selling and The Single Malt Mastermind, and the creator of Delightful Emails. He helps small business owners and the self-employed get to grips with marketing and selling and to enjoy more fun, freedom and flow.

His book, How To Get A Grip, was first released by John Blake in 2011, and re-released in 2019 by Bonnier, under the title Get a F*cking Grip. His podcast, also called How To Get A Grip, interviews business owners on how they keep their sanity (and what grinds their gears).

A keynote speaker, Matthew has delighted audiences from Sydney to San Diego - and everywhere in-between. He lives in Malta, a small Mediterranean island, with two kids, one wife and one dog.

Now, you can walk through her entire system in her free class: 'How To Sell More Courses With An Evergreen Sales Funnel'. It's kinda insane how detailed she gets in this training. Visit clairepells.com/ee to get it right now.
