Why not put all you know in writing and open new doors to further your success? Why not write a book that encourages others to turn to you?
When someone puts his or her knowledge and wisdom into writing, it creates a certain aura of success. What’s your first thought or feeling when you meet an author? Many are simply enamored.
In the days of old, if you wanted to be seen as an expert in your field, you wrote articles in a trade magazine in your field. If you couldn’t write, you had someone do it for you. It was essential to stand out amongst your peers.
With publishing being more accessible today than ever before, those who want to stand out, write a book. It is an invaluable tool to boost your visibility and be seen as an expert in your field.
Take into consideration all you have to communicate. You have personal stories of how you got to where you are today. You have the success stories of your achievements or of the clients you’ve helped and the methods you’ve used. You have knowledge and wisdom from your experience and from all those books you’ve read, courses you’ve taken, and mentors who have inspired you.
Is It Now Your Time to Inspire Others?
Successful people are able to inspire and influence others. You’ve turned to books and speakers in the past. Why not write a book that encourages others to turn to you?
Step one is to find your authentic writing voice. It’s not only what you say, it’s how you say it. It may sound corny, but when you speak from your heart and your experience, others will listen.
For all of you who doubt you really have something to write that is worth reading, here are the words of C.S. Lewis, best known today for his series Chronicles of Narnia.
“Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring two pence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.”
It’s not as difficult as you think. If you have trouble getting started, I have articles on LinkedIn and my website to help you along or give me a call for a complimentary initial consultation.
