A Special Memo About GOAL SETTING:
From One Gutsy Coach to Another

If you trust in self-improvement, then books should have the same, because nearly all improvements that have taken place through the ages have happened through the written word. Books have a way of affecting people on a deeply personal level. And, as more people absorb a book (or books about on a certain subject), the effect becomes universal.

One of the best ways to help people who want to improve their Goal Setting is by passing along good information that works through books.

No matter which writer you speak to, you will get a different opinion about “how to write a book.” In fact, you might get as many opinions as the number of people you’ve asked.

Some say that buying book writing software is what motivated them to get going, others will tell you that writing a book proposal is what got them started.

Knowing how start writing a book proposal and looking for a literary agent is important, but what usually makes the difference on whether a business person is motivated enough to actually get started are the reasons for writing a book.

There are many reasons why a person would write a book, says business adviser to authors DrProactive Randy Gilbert, however, there are four of them that consistently show up over and over again as to why most people want to write a book and it relates to making it a bestseller and building a business around the book so that it makes money for them.

It can make you a bestselling author, and a millionaire at the same time, which is why DrProactive named “bestselling business”. Learning how to start writing a book proposal and creating a business around it at the same time is super important.

If you want to write a book, then see if one or more of these reasons will motivate you.

#1 – Having a Book Gives You Instant Credibility
Having “Best-Selling Author” in your bio give you instant credibility and immediately differentiates you. Nothing else elevates you as high above other speakers and gives you that kind of credibility. Because “you wrote the book on it”, you’ll receive Celebrity Status and recognition in your subject area. This highest level of “authority” is something most speakers and authors cannot claim.

#2 – Being a Bestselling Author Gives You A Group of Faithful Followers and a BIG Platform
When you have a Bestselling Business filled with other products and services to offer, you’ll create your own following of people, which is called a platform. People will buy more from familiar and memorable sources that they trust, know and love. As a Bestselling author, you can count on this recipe for increased sales. Employees who have heard of you will recommend you to those organizing conferences, and even those who haven’t heard of you will feel lucky to be in the audience listening to you speak.

#3 – Your Book can Help Expand Your Customer Database and Be an Effective Lead Generation System
Your book is a great lead generation system, and will help you gain referrals. Your clients will feel good recommending your book to their business partners and customers to help solve their problems. And you can use your book as an incredibly powerful business card which does far more to impress people than a regular piece of stiff paper.

#4 - Creating Products From Your Book is an Income Magnifier
You’ll receive bigger and better speaking opportunities when you have products and services to sell. You will be requested to speak to large audiences at major events that are put on by other entrepreneurs who want to increase their profits when you sell your high-ticket products. When word gets around that you made lots of money for an organizer (the same amount you make for yourself), then you’ll be invited to speak at other events.

SUMMARY:

You have to agree, no matter which reason is highest on your list, writing a book proposal and getting a publisher is a life-changing event and it will make you want to take action. No matter what your most important reason might be, there is one certainty, writing a book is a very good thing.
