How to write your book FAST

In my last article, I explained seven reasons why a book is the ultimate client magnet for an independent professional or business owner. 

If you develop it correctly, a book will establish you as an authority, boost your revenues starting the first month you begin writing it, generate multiple income streams, provide you with great personal satisfaction, and more. 

In today's article, you will discover the single biggest obstacle independent professionals and business owners say prevents them from authoring a book. You will learn five ways to easily deal with it. 

Over the past 35 years, the biggest objection I've heard people give is, "I don't have enough time to write a book."

No Time? How to Write Your Book's First Draft - FAST  

______________________________________________

So let me show you how easily you can create a great book in the time you've got. 

The fact is, if you write just two pages a day for 90 days (unedited), you will have a 180-page first draft done... in merely three months. 

If you proceed at that pace, you can easily have a book in your hands within six months of the day you began if you take advantage of self-publishing, which 80% of today's book authors do. This includes the time needed to prepare before you write and to have it edited and published thereafter.

What's the Fastest Way to Write Your Book?  

______________________________________________ 

You can speak a book into print even faster. 

Almost all of us speak at least 100 words a minute. The average business book today is about 50,000 words (roughly 168 pages). 

Do the math and you will see how many people have dictated the draft of their entire book in only nine or 10 hours. 

Add in the time needed for preparation, editing and publishing, and you can have a book in your hands using this method in only three months. 

Thousands of busy independent professionals and business owners have used these methods to create business-attracting books in just three to six months. 

If it's that fast and easy to create a book, why do most authors struggle and never even finish their book? 

It's because they are not using a time-tested system. 

That is the secret to creating a book in three to six months. 

Why do I say that? 

It's not only because of my decades of experience. But 94% of all failures in general come from not using a time-tested system, according to the research of Dr. W.E. Deming, the legendary quality guru. 

So, let me share with you five of the most important steps of a time-tested system you can use to create your business-generating book quickly and in the time you've got.

Find Time to Write Your Book - 5 Easy Steps  

______________________________________________ 

1.   Make specific appointments with yourself in your calendar to write or speak your book.

As you will discover in future articles, a correctly developed book can bring more clients and revenue to you than any other marketing strategy or tactic. 

So, make those appointment times sacred. Don't miss one of them for anything less important than a medical emergency. 

2.   For each appointment, block out a fewer number of large blocks of time rather than a larger number of small blocks of time.

Why? When you first sit down, the initial 20 minutes or so are warming up. The last 10 minutes or so are finishing up. With larger blocks of time, those warming up and warming down periods make up a smaller percentage, so a larger percentage of your time is devoted to peak productivity. 

3.   Always say "no" to any interruption during these appointments. The only exception is medical emergencies. And stick to that ground rule. 

4.   Throughout each day, whenever an inspiration about your book hits you, jot it down. Great ideas often come at odd times. Always carry a pen and little notepad with you. Avoid relying on your memory, or you will regret it.  

5.   Use down time for writing or dictating your book, too.

This includes commuting to the office, lunch time, waiting for appointments or airline flights, etc. Make it a habit and you will find many such opportunities. Just 15 minutes a day adds up to almost eight hours each month.

If you are wondering how to pick the right topic for your book, or how to organize the chapters, etc., etc., don't worry. In future articles, I'll share more of the actual steps of a time-tested system you can use to write a book that attracts clients and generates multiple income streams.
