Do
you fear your dream of writing a book is doomed to die inside
you? May I be honest? It might, if you don’t focus and
get it done. With the right focus and knowledge, you can easily
write your significant message into a book.
Read this article and fuel the flame of your
book dream again. This time dream a bigger dream. Dream after
writing your book, you receive life long income that grows each
month. You become a highly visible expert in your field. You
gain added respect of your colleagues and peers because of your
book. You receive increased income leveraged from higher fees
charged. Your clients gladly pay them with book author as one
of your titles.
Are you ready to revive your dream yet? Here
are a few tips to help make all your book dreams come true:
1.
I recommend a subject you have passion for. I won’t
lie to you and say your book will write itself if you choose
well. But it will make it a lot easier. You know, “Your
book, your baby.” Your book project becomes your brain
child in a way. Make sure it’s a topic you could enjoy
now and for at least the next 3 years.
2.
Write your book and keep your soul.
No,
you don’t have to sell your soul anymore to write a saleable
book. Use the cumulative effect of doing a little bit at a time.
Even so, unless you want it to take years to write, you must
schedule writing time each week. For example, you could write
2 pages a day and have a short book in weeks.
3.
Think solutions to your book readers’ problems.
Your audience is looking for solutions to their
problems. They are looking to you for encouragement to overcome
their challenges. Mine your background, your files, and your
speeches for the gold called your knowledge. Use speedy book
writing techniques and finish your book faster to sell sooner.
4.
Focus with a book intention plan.
Write a book writing and marketing plan. Educate
yourself about book writing. Enroll or get resources like ecourses,
books and Teleseminars. Invest in your book project. Use professional
help with getting your cover design, book layout. Remember,
book covers sell more books than any other element. Give your
book the selling chance it deserves.
5.
Write your book’s vision statement.
Write it down and make it plain. Write when
you’ll complete it. Name specific outcomes you get after
completing your book. For instance, envision yourself watching
your bank balance grow from book sales. Write, “I see
myself with increased income and more clients.” Anyway
you get the idea; create your vision statement including see,
hear and feel.
6.
Be patient with yourself on the book journey.
Set realistic expectations. If you think an
hour here or a couple there will get your book done, rethink
your commitment. Plan to fit at least 8-14 hours into your schedule
to get your book done and out to the world. It may mean getting
up in the wee hours of the morning or burning the midnight oil.
Either way, know consistency will drive you and your book to
a successful completion.
7.
Go the extra mile to a successful book.
Persistent writers become successful authors.
Don’t give up. Take your dream out of the back seat. Bring
your plans to the front. When you do what it takes to author
your book, you can reap the rewards – expert status, increased
fees, respect for your know how, fame that grows and many more
opportunities that manifest.
Don’t put it off any more. Take your dream
off the shelf. If you wait, you can be this time next year without
making your dream of writing a successful book come true. You
have the knowledge and the solution. Now write it down. Your
audience is waiting. Focus, use the tips above and write a book
that sells well. Make it different. Make it count. Make it yours.
