Is Finishing Your Book Your New Years Resolution?
IS FINISHING YOUR BOOK YOUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTION? Judy Cullins
c. 2005
Think of the resolution "I'm going to to lose weight this
year"--a statement that doesn't show intention because it's
vague. Talk is cheap. So are you still talking about your book,
yet don't really want to finish because it's too much work, too
much money, and has too many steps?
For some of you the reality is you won't finish. And the longer
you "work" on your book, the more time gets between you and
publishing time to make a difference in other people's lives.
For 5% of you who will do what it takes, this reminder is for
you.
Don't wait any longer to write your book. Now is the best time
to get it out. When you ponder and linger, you lose interest and
motivation. That's why I like the idea of the "Fast-Forward
Writing Technique," that produces consistently well organized
chapters that hook your reader and motivate in each paragraph so
your readers finish and recommend your book to others. .
Remember the benefits of wriing a book. It gets your unique word
out to help others to a better life. It brings solutions to your
readers' challenges. It can "brand" your business-much stronger
than a business card. It makes you known as the expert in your
field. If writing fiction, it entertains and educates. Finally,
like me it can make half of your monthly income that goes on
indefinitely.
Remember you can add marketing pizzazz to each and every chapter
in its title, its introduction and its conclusion. Apply the
"Essential Nine Hot-Selling Points" before you finish and your
book will sell so much better when published.
To manifest your book dream this year, make sure you make it
real.
1. visualize your book finished and a great success. See the
checks and credit card orders coming in each day.
2. Save money in a special bank account so you'll have enough to
get some coaching through teleclasses and writing groups and a
small amount for copies printed. (You don't need 1000 printed at
first)
3. Know it will cost some money. If you book is so important,
don't be too cheap as to what you invest in it to get it
finished.
4. Honor High Level Activities each day. Spend real writing time
on your chapters, your introduction and your back cover. Aim for
1-2 hours each day or divide to suit your schedule.
5. Stop writing without feedback from peers or a qualified
bookcoach. You don't realize that even if you are a
professional, you don't know all that makes a chapter sizzle.
Old writing habits such as using "is, was" or other passives mar
your style, and make it long and unweildy so your reader will
yawn and turn away. You need to keep your reader engaged.on each
page.
6. Don't give up. Your project may take some time. I recommend
writing a short book first so you can finish fast.
7. Consider self-publishing because the traditional path takes
far too long and even if you are chosen, you'll find the time
and energy you put there will not pay off nearly as much as when
you learn a few promotion tips to do implement yourself. The
sad
truth is that the publishers won't give you much in promotion
time.
8. Write your print and eBook at the same time. Service your
online audience as well as the audience at your talks. They love
and buy books. They want information on all kinds of topics.
They have money to spend. Promoting to this audience is far
easier, cheaper and productive than other methods.
Finally, put your book project in the top three priorities of
your life. Business, Family, Friends, Book! If you don't include
it in these, it just won't happen.
TOO TOUGH--Some people may say, "This is the year I meet and
marry my soul mate." That's a lot to wish for. What makes more
sense is to come up with some simple steps to put yourself in a
position to make this happen. How can you put yourself in the
path of the person you hope to meet? Think big, but also set up
some small action items you can take to guide your daily
decisions about how you spend your time and the things you will
DO to make your dream a reality.
TOO ONE-DIMENSIONAL--Many people would prefer their homes and
offices to be more organized--and vow to do so each year. "This
spring I really will clean up the clutter," they will say. Yet,
in spite of a bit of spring cleaning, the clutter continues to
pile up throughout the year. For many, seeing is believing.
Maybe the motivation you need is a photograph of your ideal
office or a clutter-free home. Put it up where you can see it.
Go to an open house or two and marvel at how neat and clean a
home can be. Create a "Dream Board" with images of what you want
your ideal environment to look (and feel) like and put them up
where you will see them.
Now we know why most people fail to stick to their New Year's
resolutions. The solution to making lasting changes in your life
is to engage all of your senses and use both sides of your brain
in the planning process. When you know exactly what you
want--what it looks like, feels like, sounds like and you can
picture and describe it in amazing detail--you are much closer
to getting it. Also, by breaking down the dream into small
micromovements you can do on a daily basis, you can make it
happen one day at a time. Using this approach to your
resolutions guarantees a great year in 2006.
If you are serious about your success you will find The
Whole-Brain Goal Planner by Lee Silber extremely helpful in
planning your year. Included is everything you need to set
yourself up for your best year yet. To get a goal planner send
