There are THREE primary reasons to write a book.
- EGO.
In the kindest sense of the word. Where we wish to leave our lives experience, knowledge and wisdom to our family and friends.
- Leverage.
To open doors of opportunity using our book as a lead generator for instant credibility and exposure.
- Authority.
After all, the first part of the word is AUTHOR. This is where someone desires to be the world renowned expert in their field.
That’s it!
For the first one, I would suggest writing it yourself, so you can be sure to capture your personal voice and passion. With print on demand (POD) services on Amazon, you can be up and running in no time.
*What that means, is rather than buy tons of your own books that fill the garage, you can simply upload the manuscript and everytime a sale is made, they print ONE book at a time and send them directly from the location.

The second selection would endorse finding a local literature major, or someone online to write it for you, to ensure the integrity of your message is shared in the brightest of light. The fact is, there are many people around the world with great talent that could assist you along this quest.
*This is where ego needs to be set aside a bit, and allow someone else to translate your thoughts into a way people would actually want to read them.

For the third example - to become The World Authority, would highly recommend you hire a proven, time tested Ghost Writer. One that has multiple best sellers under their belt and knows what they are doing. In reality, this is the second biggest investment you should make (after marketing dollars) to ensure your platform is beyond solid and secure.
*These people can pull your ideas, concepts and imaginative thoughts and craft them into a way that makes you the leader in your chosen field of endeavor.
