Brilliant post. Thanks for covering everything in so much detail.

I’m at a point in my life where I have a hand (or maybe just a finger) in several different pies in different categories and I could really do with focusing more on which category I want to be in.

This has given me lots to think about.

Hey Forrest, it depends on what you're looking to learn.

β€’ The 22 Laws will help you get a solid footing on the fundamentals of category designβ€”it's a must-read and a great reference guide.

β€’ Snow Leopard is perfect if you're looking to create a category of one as a writer or creator.

β€’ The Marketer's Guide is specifically for using category design in marketing.

β€’ The Category Design Toolkit is great for getting the hang of category design in a business context.

Let us know if that helps, or if you have other questions.

Hey guys, I'm just finishing my book on the new category I am creating, along with all the SEO content, and my questions to you, is when should I let the cat out of the bag about my new category? My plan is to publish my book and content and do many things for a lightning strike all in a short window of time. Should I have keep everything a secret until I'm ready for the lightning strike?
