Most people have thought of writing a book at some point or another but if you have your own business, did you know how much of an impact your very own book can have?
Gone are the days where you can shove your business card in somebody’s face and hope for the best. Times have changed an people are craving a much deeper connection- they want to build a relationship with the people they are thinking of working with and your own book allows you to do that without being on the ‘phone or in meetings 24/7.
Writing your own book could be your ticket to opening up huge opportunities, drastically increasing your income and calling in more of your ideal clients.
Imagine yourself at the number 1 spot with readers getting in touch to tell you how you impacted their life and with media opportunities knocking at your door.
Most people have thought about it- however, very few people actually commit to writing a full length book about the thing that they claim to be so passionate about. Having a book will immediately set you apart from the crowd and will show people that you are the real deal!
It can seem like such a huge project and so it’s understandable that, for most people, even though they are well aware that doing so could be life changing, it gets pushed to the bottom of the priority list.
However, for those who do make it happen, either by blocking out regular time to write or by hiring a ghostwriter, they will see huge positive shifts. Not just in their businesses, but in their lives.
Your Book Will Attract More of Your Ideal Clients
Imagine your ideal client reading your book and getting absorbed into your world. You could be working on other parts of your business, relaxing on the beach or doing the hokey Cokey, while you are helping this person to create shifts. When they get to the end of your book, a number of them will want more, and you can give them that opportunity by letting them know how to follow you online and indeed, how to purchase your pain offers!
Your Book Will Help You to Build Trust and Credibility
You know those people who have not said YES to working with you? The main reason for that is because they are lacking trust.
Trust in themselves (which you can also help them to overcome with your book) and trust in you. And can you blame them? Most people have the ability to take an easy course for impressive sounding qualifications and hire a Lambo for the day to take pics with. People can even fake their client results, so it can be hard to distinguish the game players from the change- makers. How are they supposed to know who to invest their time, money and energy into?
Only the real deal will have had the passion, knowledge and commitment to write a full length book on the subject. The credibility and trust factor will shoot up another level again if your book hits bestseller status.
Your Book Will Be a Journey of Self Discovery
Here’s something most people don’t consider. Many find writing a book appealing because of the opportunities it will open up, but have you considered the incredible journey it will take you on as you discover yourself on a deeper level?
Writing about your past experiences can be incredibly healing for those who are willing to face the pain to reach their next level.
Bi-products of writing a book include increased confidence, self worth and happiness!
Your Book Will Open Up Opportunities
Can you see yourself on TV, the radio and in your favourite magazine featured as the guest expert on your topic? Do you want to speak on stage in front of thousands of people? Consulting for large companies? Your book is key in you making these things happen.
Think about it. The producers and editors only want to bring on guests who are credible, knowledgable and real otherwise it could spell disaster for them. Your book will ensure those boxes are ticked. The opportunities that can arise as a result of your book are endless!
Maybe you are reading this now thinking ‘oh yes, I really should get started with my book BUT I’m too busy’ or you might be thinking ‘nah, it’s not for me’. That’s your choice.
However, if you are one of those who knows that you have a book inside of you and truly believe that your book could supercharge your business and your life, make that commitment today. Get stared with writing your book and make 2020 the year you become a published author!
