Before I share some of the worst writing advice ever, I thought you might like to know: one of my podcast interviews got picked up by a legit Chicago radio station (WCKG 102.3).?You can listen to it here. I talked with the host about turning your book into multiple income streams—one of my favorite topics.
Now, let's talk about some of the worst book writing advice?ever.
Here it is:?Write Your Book in a Weekend!
While that sounds lovely—and perhaps even exciting—you?cannot?and?should not?attempt to write your entire book in a weekend.
You can?mind map?your book in a weekend, get a great start on?your outline in 48 hours, and even do some of the important action items that will support the long-term success of your book.
You can even take?this course?in a weekend, and know everything you need to know to?craft, write, publish, launch,?and?market?your book. Yes, all in a weekend. (Just send me an email to ask me how.)
But write it? Nope. Not even close.
Your book, like your brand and your business, deserves your best. And your best will take time. It will require a financial investment (which I expect to give you a high ROI, BTW). It will take time and money to do it right, and it's worth it.

How long??You get to decide—in?I Must Write MY Book,?I share three tracks: 100, 180, or 365 days (all adjustable, of course, to fit your timeline and help you publish your book to coincide with a special occasion or event).
How much??It's going to cost a few thousand dollars or so to cover editing, proofreading, cover, and interior design, and copywriting costs. It just will.
And it is 100% worth it.?In fact, I did the ROI calculation on?You MUST Write a Book?(a book I give away a lot) and it came to over 2300%?per year for the past three years. Worth the $4,600 I invested in it??You bet!
So, the next time someone suggests you can just write your book and publish it on Amazon easy as 1-2-3, please remember my advice. I'll be here ready to help you when you're really ready to?write your book?(and turn it into multiple income streams)!
Happy writing!
