A Writing Coach for What?

A Writing Coach for What?

I don’t know any athlete, sport team or business professional who has not had a coach or mentor to succeed.  As good as the professional sports athletes are, they still need a coach.  Without a coach, all of those gifts and talents would not work together as a whole unit or a well-oiled machine without a coach or leader.  Yes, you could write that book alone but why should you?  Just think if you have a coach helping you with that book, you would have:

Accountability – I know so many people that have started books but given up because they lacked accountability.  Being held accountable to someone is the motivation for some people to get the job done.  Would you really do your job as well as you do it if you didn’t have a supervisor?  The book can get done so much better with an accountability partner. 

Feedback – A good coach should provide you with immediate feedback on your writing.  The feedback should be corrective, positive, provide clear instructions to make progress and help the writing process move forward. 

Guidance – Personally, I hate getting lost.  I am so thankful for the phone’s GPS.  Barring in problems with an update, it gives me clear direction and specific turns to make to reach my destination.  A coach with little or much less experience than you have is a friend or cohort on your journey.  Unless they have been there before, they don’t know the way.  Your coach should be able to lead the way to the end and not still be trying to find their way themselves. 

Knowledgeable – A writing coach should be a writer.  The writing coach should know something about writing and understand the writing process. 

Saves Time – With having a coach with experience, knowledge and guidance, it will save you time.  You have clear direction you don’t waste time. 

Saves Money – Clear direction of what you should and should not do will save you money in the end.  You will not waste money

Experience – The writing coach who is able to guide you because they have the experience.  Work with and hire an experienced coach to help you with your writing project.  Experience truly is the best teacher. 

What do you get when two authors, publishers, speakers who love technology and books come together?

Ebooks for Business

Ebooks for Business

About five years ago, my business best friend suggested that I write a book specifically related to my business.  I didn’t want to because I was fearful of giving away too many trade secrets or information that people wouldn’t do business with me.  I was wrong.  The business books that I produced related to writing, publishing and promoting your book actually helped my business grow and expand.  Why?  Those books contained the basic information that people asked me repeatedly in the first eight years of business.  I now have that same information in a paperback and eBook form for people to purchase and get their questions answered.  There will always be questions of clients that are not in the book but why not have the questions that you know will be asked, answered. 

Thus, I have an additional product to sell.  I also have a product that can accompany and be the foundational material for my live events, workshops and conferences on the exact same topic.  I don’t have to create new content on this subject because it already exists.  I can also repurpose the content in a variety of ways including blog or social media posts, signature speeches and presentations. 

If you have a business, I suggest that you have an eBook related to your business.  I love to write and write in multiple genres including fiction and non-fiction but the books related to my business specifically are key to the growth, expansion, knowledge base and profitability of my business.  Do you have a book that accompanies your business?  You should and I can help. 

For the Love of Writing..

The Love of Writing:  Care. Share. Profit.

As a child, my parents instilled in me the love of reading and books.  I look back on it now and realize that the librarian, author and publisher that I am today all started with the public library visits with my mother and sisters.  Each of us had a bag of books that we were able to select on our own and my mother always had an arm load of books.  She read to us each and every night.  My mother read each story with enthusiasm and creativity.  Each time I read a story to students, I remember those times and try to read with expression just like she did. 

You may not have grown up having a love of reading and books like I did but know that reading, books and writing are important in every stage of life from childhood through adulthood. 

Writing can: 

Inspire Change – Writing a blog, email or book can deliver a powerful and transformational message to a vast audience.  What is your message that you want to deliver to the world?  It can be done by writing it down.  You may need an editor, thesaurus or dictionary but know that someone is waiting on your message. 

Heal Hurt – My first book was birthed out of a painful place.  It was therapy and healing for me.  I shared these words with others in hopes that they would help to heal someone else’s hurt.  Are you willing to share your pain to help heal others? 

Make You Profitable – Even though I write for fun and therapy, the bonus is that I charge for my books and people buy them.  I am profitable and writing can profit you as well.  Write it now, you are missing out on money.  Love yourself and love what you do.  I love writing and hope that you will too.
