A Special Memo On SELF-IMPROVEMENT:
From One Gutsy Consultant to Another
If you believe in self-improvement, then you should believe in books, because nearly all improvements that we have observed down through history have been caused by the written word. Books have a tendency toward changing the attitudes of people. And, as more people read a book (or books about a particular topic), the change becomes universal.
If you want to make a difference in other people’s lives regarding Self-Improvement then you should look at writing a book that shares positive experiences.
Every writer you’ll talk to has their own opinion about “how to write a book”. Some even have two or three.
Some will tell you to begin by writing a book proposal, others will say that using book writing software did the trick for them.
It is very important to know “how to start writing a book proposal and looking for a literary agent”, but the real driving force for a business person are the motivations to write a book.
Each person has many reasons for writing a book, says business adviser to authors DrProactive Randy Gilbert, but there are 4 that almost everyone has in common. The best way to satisfy those reasons it to a build a business around the book so that it makes money as it becomes a bestseller.
It can make you a bestselling author, and a millionaire at the same time, which is why DrProactive named “bestselling business”. Working quickly and starting to write a book proposal that has a business created as an integral part of it, is a smart thing to do.
If you want to write a book, then see if one or more of these benefits will motivate you.
#1 – Having a Book Gives You Instant Credibility
There is no substitute for the kind of credibity you receive by having “Best-Selling Author” in your bio. It will immediately differentiate you and elevate you above other speakers. Because “you wrote the book on it”, you’ll receive Celebrity Status and recognition in your subject area. Very few other speakers can claim this highest level of “authority.”
#2 – Sell Lots of Books and You Will Have Your Own Sales Force Around the World
When your book becomes a New York Times bestseller it will get into more stores, which is like having a huge sales force, because people will be introduced to you and your products all across the globe. And, as they read your book, they are being convinced to have you give them more information specifically for their group. Plus you’ll discover that your book sells everything and everything sells your book.
#3 – Being a Bestselling Author Means Easy Access to Media That is Worth Millions of Advertising Dollars
Doors will open to interview on the radio, in magazines and newspapers, and even on TV. This is the most cost effective advertising known to man. And, these interviews are even better than just free advertising, because everyone views you as the expert, not another ad buyer.
#4 - Building Other Products Around Your Book Will Multiply Your Income
You’ll get a wider (and almost endless) variety of speaking opportunities when you have products and services to sell. You will be requested to speak from the platform at major events that are put on by other entrepreneurs who want to increase their profits when you sell your high-ticket products. When word gets around that you made lots of money for an organizer (the same amount you make for yourself), then you’ll be invited to speak at other events.
SUMMARY:
Now that you know that writing a book proposal and getting a publisher pays high dividends, there is no excuse for not taking action. Every reason for writing a book is important and should be good enough to get you started.
