5 Weapons to Conquer
the Giant Procrastination Towering Over Your Book Dream
Has Procrastination become a Giant towering over your
book? Use these Seven weapons and destroy procrastination forever!
Have you been guilty of procrastinating on your book project, lately?
Like the author, many writers get hung up with wrong thinking about
writing and completing their books. They feel like a loser because
they have stopped and started countless of times over the years.
They fail to realize you actually become a winner the minute you
start moving toward your worthwhile goal. Instead they continue
procrastinating until they give up. A client confessed she thought
writing a book was too hard.
Knowledge and know-how can be formed into a weapon that will destroy
the power of procrastination. Using the 7 weapons below writers
can conquer the giant procrastination and finally realize their
book dream.
Weapon #1 Do it Now!
Now is better than later. Remember you become a successful author
the minute you start moving toward your worthwhile book goal. I
don't know anyone that regrets they wrote a book. But the author
has met plenty of people that regret they didn't do it sooner.
Weapon #2 Invest time in designing your
passion points "top marketing spots" beforehand!
Spend time on developing the passion points designed to sell more
before your book is even completed The passion points are the title,
cover, thesis, audience, benefits & features, mini sales letter
written as introduction and back cover copy of each book. For example,
at least half of the book's success will be on the title you choose.
Weapon #3 Know you don't have to be a degreed
expert, great
writer or do loads of research.
Write books you are interested in and want to learn more about.
As you look for information, talk to experts and write, you become
the expert. Find out what questions your readers will want answered.
Organize them into categories which become your table of contents
and eventually your chapters. Remember there are interested readers
who are waiting for your helpful information.
Weapon #4 Realize your message is significant
and deserves your
attention, love and time.
Consider what your readers need and want. If your book shares something
unique, encouraging, useful, entertaining, it is important enough
to be written. Think about your gift? God gave you your gift to
share with others. Our gift back to God is what we do with it. The
loving care you put into your gift (book) the more rewards await
you.
Weapon #5 Recognize your book will sell
with your marketing efforts
It's true not everyone will want to buy your book. Yet there are
plenty of your targeted audiences that will want your entertaining
or helpful information. The world awaits your self-help, how-tos,
business, or poetry book. When you take the time to touch their
emotions with something that benefits them, they will pull out their
redit card or cash and pay the price. Top selling non-fiction topics
are self- help, mysteries, parent/children, sex and romance. Remember
women buy 78% of all trade books.
If you have been succumbing to procrastination, take a different
strategy use the perspective and 7 weapons above to overcome any
giant called procrastination keeping you from fulfilling your book
dream.
