Canada Release
The Intuitive Warrior was released early in Canada. I have been checking the pre-sells by looking at the sales ranking at amazon international sites all over the world. This weekend Amazon Canada started releasing the book early to online sales. I think the fact that this weekend was a weekend of love celebrated all over the world as Valentines Day is quite appropriate for an early release date. What better place than Canada! Thanks Canada!
The sales ranking went through the roof dropping all the way at one point to below 300. When a book drops that low the sales ranking opens up in several different categories. For instance The Intuitive Warrior over the last few months during pre-sell release has been as high as #5 in Military/History/Strategy in Austria and Germany, #7 in the UK & US, #4 in France and now a new high of #2 in Canada. The Art of War is usually #1 all over the world in this category. It also hit #20 in Health, Mind, Body > Self-Help> Motivational right in between one of my hero’s, Dr. Wayne Dyer’s new book Excuses Begone! and another favorite author and the new book The Fifth Agreement by Don Miguel Ruiz.
Sales rankings change and fluctuate by the minute on Amazon so you may see a different picture but the trend is definitely moving in a positive direction. My book company shipped out 512 copies last month to a distribution point so this may be where they went. Right now there are only 2 copies left on the Amazon Canada website for the book. This is probably a test of the waters so that the publishing world can see what the response to the book is going to be. Way to show um Canada!

Thanks to everyone who has been talking up the book and sharing it with others.
The word is obviously getting out about The Intuitive Warrior and people are liking it!
Michael Jaco served as a Navy SEAL for twenty-four years before becoming an independent security contractor. During his service he achieved what many others previously thought to be impossible or unattainable. He retired in December 2002 as a Navy "Chief" and started his own training organization which educates participants in tactical awareness skills. Born in Columbia, South Carolina, he now lives in Elgin with his wife and children. 
This is awesome news Michael. The book is going to be huge. I want to encourage everyone to go to the Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites and post 5 star reviews once they’ve read the book. Those reviews will help generate more sales and this great message that Michael is spreading can reach more people. Let’s get the word out!
