More is less. Less is more.

Lately, I have been working on a viable 'business' model for my book-writing coaching business.  If you want to write a book but don't know how to do it, I want to help you.  If you think you have a book in you but somehow have not been able to get it out, I want to help you.  If you want to write a book but doubt your ability to do so, I want to help.  You know that you have a book inside you but you don't believe that you're good enough to write it, I want to help. To figure out how I can go about this business, I looked up other people/businesses doing somewhat similar thing (to what I have in mind) on the internet. Many of them are rightfully experts in this area because they themselves have written and published books that have sold rather well in the market. But something is not right. They made it sound so simple and simplistic! Some even claim that you can finish writing a book in 24 hours! And then they'll tell you that you will gain ...

If you love your freedom, you must write your book!

Image
OK, not everyone must write their books. If you don't feel like you need to write a book to freely express yourself, then you shouldn't be writing it. Because if you don't have a passion for something but feel compelled to do it just because everyone else is telling you to do it, then you will not find freedom in either doing it or resisting that compulsion! However, if you have an urge to write your first book and somehow have never been able to get around to it, then I'll give you a good reason here to contemplate upon. First of all, ask yourself if you're a really free person. If yes, how free are you? If not, how deprived of liberty are you? I don't know about you. But as far as I'm concerned, I don't feel very free at all. It's not that I'm very unhappy about my life right now - I'm blessed to have a beautiful family and fortunate enough to be doing something I love for a living, teaching in one of the best institutions in the c...

Hate your life situation now? Write a book!

Image
If you're sick and tired of your current situation, consider writing a book - especially if you haven't written one before. In fact, don't even consider. Write it. Just write it and you will know what I'm talking about here, When you write, something inside you change. When you write, something inside you awakens. When you write, the giant inside you wakes up. When you write, your latent energy starts moving. When you write, the scared and 'rational' little voice inside you gets braver. When you write, your inaudible voice gets heard - by you! And probably even for the first time even! Write my friend. Don't wait any longer. Write. For when you write, you create your own turning points. For when you write, you write the next big chapter of your life into existence. For when you write, nobody can tell you what you can or cannot write! For when you write, you call the shots. For when you write you take charge of your own life and ther...

Wait no more, write that book you have always wanted to write!!!

You must write that book you have always wanted to write but have been putting it off indefinitely. Put a stop to this never-ending procrastination because your life is limited. My life is limited. You and I can procrastinate all the things we know we must do, can do, should do and get to do.  But there's a deadline beyond which we will not be able to do them regardless of how badly we want to do them. I guess that's why they call it a deadline - to remind us that we cannot procrastinate our deaths. But it's not only when our death that we cannot procrastinate.  We cannot procrastinate our sickness. In fact we cannot procrastinate anything that will mess up our plans at all such as traffic accidents, a change in the family situation due to health-related reasons, the weather, a change of our boss in the workplace, a bad turn of the economic or simply put, as Bob Dylan called it, a "Simple Twist of Fate".  Write that book. Wait no more. I have ...

WRITE A BOOK AND CREATE YOUR TURNING POINTS!!!

Image
One of the ways to create your turning points for the better is to write yourself a book , have it published and then made it available worldwide. Many people who had wanted or planned to write a book would eventually abandon their plans when they realise that it will not generate enough financial returns on their investment to justify writing it altogether in the first place. That's because most people think of returns only in terms of their book sales. The returns (financial and otherwise) you will get from writing your book do not only come in one form (ie. that of book sales) but also in the forms of business deals, a purchases of your product and service, opportunities to appear on radio stations, write-ups on a newspaper, invitations to appear on national television and all kinds of media coverage and publicity we don't expect!  My first book was written and published in 2013. I co-wrote it with my brother. It's a book about the pros and cons of migrating to...
