Recently, I was on a run and stumbled across a day planner someone had left in the grass, lying open to a random date. Picking it up, I thumbed through the book and came across a week in June, filled with plans for parties and trips and other events that likely did not happen.
That made me sad.
Suffice to say that 2020 did not look like any of us anticipated. What we planned for did not happen—at least, not in the way most of us expected. Personally, this has been the most transformative year of my life, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
But it’s been hard.
Did you have plans for this year that did not happen? Plans to change your life, perhaps? To do something you always wanted but never had the time for?
If you are like most people, at some point in your life, maybe even this year, you probably said to yourself, “I’d like to write a book someday.”
I hear this all the time when I tell people that I’m a writer.
“Oh, I have this great idea for a book,” they say, and then proceed to tell me what it is.
And they’re right. It usually is a good idea. But do you know what I never hear them say?
“I’d like to write a book someday, and I hope that never happens.”
Or: “If I do end up writing a book, I hope it ends up selling zero copies.”
That would be ridiculous. But that's just what happens. Most people who want to write a book never do, and of those few who do become authors never sell more than a handful of copies.
I want to help change that.
These days, there is no shortage of “experts” dishing out advice on what it takes to write and sell a book: Hack the media. Build a platform. Chase this new fad. You’ve heard it all before. But what if what you really needed wasn’t another marketing trick but a great book?
Last week, I taught a series of live trainings on developing a writing habit and how to turn that into a published book. And now, for the final time this year, I’m opening registration for my signature course Write a Bestseller, which teaches a simple framework to identify a big idea for a book, get it written, and launch it into the world.
As the bestselling author of five books and writing teacher to over 20,000 students in the past 10 years, I’ve learned that to be a successful author, you can’t just write any old book. You have to write one worth buying. Which is why I created Write a Bestseller.
In this online course, I walk you through my process for producing bestseller after bestseller and how you can use it to create a book of your own. This course will help you:
As a special bonus, you’ll also get access to my "Bestseller Bootcamp.” This live, three-day virtual workshop will help you craft your big idea, the structure for your book, and a plan to finish writing it in 90 days.
Registration for this program, including the workshop bonus, closes on September 3rd at 8:00 p.m. Central, so get in now before it’s too late. This will be the last time of this year that I’ll be teaching this program.
