That is the #1 question I get from new authors.
I’ll give you a secret, a proven formula that I use to write bestsellers and high-quality books for myself and other multi-millionaire and pre-billionaire clients. Are you ready? 👂🏾
Writing a book is 80% thinking, 10% writing, and 10% editing.
The answer to “How do I start?” is in that formula. You start by THINKING. I’ll even tell you what to think about.
- What is your book about? Your book is a conversation between you and one other person. What do you want to talk about? I’ll give you a hint. People buy nonfiction books because they want to solve a problem. Think about what problem(s) you solved in your own life, and you’ll have the beginnings of a great book.
- Who is your book for? Your words are not for everybody, but they are for somebody. Who do you want to have that conversation with? The key to a highly successful book is speaking directly to the person who needs what you have to say the most. Usually, it’s someone who looked just like you used to look before you solved your problem.
- What do you want them to get out of it? This is crucial! After they’ve seen how you solved your problem and overcame your obstacles, what do you want them to do? Think about how you want the life of the person who reads your book to change.
I’ll share more the next time. Until then. 💙
