Writing a Book Can Be the Easiest or Hardest Thing You'll Ever Do
Entrepreneurs are often told that they need to be good at writing if they want to be successful. They’re told that a book, a speech, social posts – all requiring writing skills – are the way to a thriving business. But what if you're not a natural born writer?
Does that mean you can’t write a book worth reading, give a presentation worth hearing, or share your wisdom on social media?
Of course not. Writing is a learned skill, and, with the right support you can do all those things well enough to grow an amazing business.
It doesn't matter if you didn't do well in English class or if you've never written anything more than a to-do list—with practice, patience, and a willingness to learn from your mistakes, you can develop into a competent (and even prolific) writer. In fact, I have an uncle whose dyslexia was so bad, he couldn’t read. But not only did he earn a bachelor’s degree, he’s now a fiction writer!
So, if you dream of becoming an author but hold back from making that dream come true because you can’t spell worth beans, find it challenging to write a grocery list, or are daunted by the “magnitude” of the task … stop that!
You can do this. Just take one written footstep after the other, and before you know it you’ll have the book in your hands.
