The 9 Questions every Want-To-Be a Published Author Should Ask Themselves
Think you’re ready to publish your book? Take this quiz to find out…
For many of my clients, publishing a book has been a dream they’ve held in the back of their minds for a long time. There are many reasons that people don’t follow up on their dream: they feel pressed for time; they don’t believe they’re disciplined enough to get a book written and published; some are worried about writing skills and messaging; some are scared to share their thoughts with the world.
Listen, I know that writing a book can feel really scary and daunting. Our thoughts are out there for the world to see, to criticize or to love. It takes courage to type out our stories, to share our dreams and then let the world have its way with our freshly printed “baby”.
If you’re reading this, chances are, you’ve held out the dream of publishing, but you haven’t started the process just yet. Maybe you think you can’t really do it, or perhaps you think that while you have a great idea, you have no idea where to start. That’s where I can help you with your process. This is do-able. Writing your book is not a pipe dream. We can make it a reality.
But before we go any further, I’d like you to take a minute and really take stock of where you are now and how willing you are to fulfill this dream you’ve had for so long. Below is a very short quiz that will help you figure out just how ready you really are…
Please place a next to each sentence that is true for you:
I have an idea or story that I want to share with the world.
I want what I say and create to make a difference for others.
I know that my life experiences, and everything I’ve learned, can benefit other people.
I’m ready to do what I want to do and invest in my dreams.
I’m ready to work on fulfilling my dreams. I’ll take it easy later.
I know that if I put my mind to it, I can create a schedule that will work to help me prioritize my dreams.
The idea of sharing my thoughts scares me, but I’m ready to get over my fear.
When I’m held accountable for my work schedule, I stay on track.
I’m aware that as humans, we rarely regret the things we do and almost always regret the things we don’t do.
See! That wasn’t so hard, right? You’re on your way!
Look back at the quiz and see how many checkmarks you have. If you’ve checked off three or more of the sentences above, then you’re ready to move on and start working on your book!
So now it is up to you to take the first step and schedule a free consultation with me, and we’ll set you on your path!
