You Don’t Have to know HOW to Write a Book, You Need to Know WHY…

Transcript:

When people think about writing a book, one of the most common excuses they give is, “I don’t know HOW to write a book”. This is like approaching the problem from the wrong end.

It’s okay if you don’t know how to do something. You can always figure it out. The more important question, especially when it comes to writing a book is, to ask yourself, “WHY should I write a book?”

When you are clear about your “why”, then you will have clarity on “what” to do and then you can find out “how” to do that. When you have a strong reason why you must write a book, you will figure out the “how” anyways.

When I work with first-time authors, I don’t ask them about the topic of their book. That’s not the first step. The real process starts with understanding “why” experts, entrepreneurs, professionals or thought-leaders should consider writing their own book.

Some really good reasons or “why’s” for writing a book include, low influence, enhancing personal brand or identity, overcoming unfulfilled feeling, no recent breakthroughs, no community or fan-following, ineffective advertising or marketing, not enough leads, lack of trust or credibility or breaking free from a busy, tiring, mechanical life.

These are the common ones. There are other strong reasons as well. This is really the very first step when thinking about a book. Not the topic or the subject or even “how” to write a book.

If you start with “how to write a book”, which is the technique part, you may risk overwhelming yourself with too much learning with little or no results to show even after putting in a ton of effort.

You don’t have to learn how to write to express your thoughts. You must know why you want to do it, what to include, which is the ‘structure’ part, and for whom, the people you are trying to reach. When these steps are done, the “how” or the technique part will become clear automatically or you an always find help with this step.

So, do you want to continue using the “how to” method and put in a lot of work with little or no results, or do you want to fast-track your progress and achieve that big dream of launching your own book, EVEN if you currently don’t know “how” to do it or where to start.
