I’m usually not that generous, when someone doesn’t make an appointment with me twice in a row, I’ll assume we’re not meant to work together and more to the point, I wouldn’t want to work with someone who doesn’t respect my time enough to show up. I’m not sure why Andrew is an exception to the rule, but I’m sure one day it will become obvious.

We talked about is financial planning business and how it might help him be perceived as more of an expert where he to have his own book highlighting his preferences and knowledge about financial planning.

I asked him if he knew of any other authors and he only knows of two: a previous boss and one of the parents of his son. I had never asked anyone that question before and I was curious of why I had asked it!

It turns out that Andrew has always wanted to write a book for the sense of accomplishment it would bring him. I thought it was very interesting it would be a primary motivator, but we never know what drives another person to do what they do.

I hope he follows through, I believe he would find it one of the most rewarding projects he’s ever done.

It always intrigues me as to why someone writes what they do. Most often it is because they have a special interest in the topic: someone who is single writes about being single; where a mother with a specific point of view might write about her experiences or someone who is disabled will write about disabilities and what they never knew before they became disabled.

It is fascinating, more than anything I love the fact that people will take the time to write about the things they are passionate about. They take the time to share with others why they are passionate and they want to impact other’s in a positive method.

I am so happy to work with authors who are passionate. I enjoy working with people who care about what they do.
If you’ve ever thought about writing a book, this program will help you become a published author within 6 to 8 weeks with an hour a day.
You won’t believe what an amazing time you’ll have once you have your own book in your very own hands.

Most think it’s impossible. I actually took a class in the mid-90′s that taught how to write a book in two weeks or less. It is possible, and I have indeed met several authors who crank out a book in a week.

That’s not my style and I don’t think it sounds like much fun to have that type of writing monotony. So I came up with a formula that is very simple.  Write for one hour a day, it takes about an hour to write four pages. There are an average of ten pages per chapter and the average book is 200 pages with the 20 pages of introduction to the book. It takes 2 1/2 hours to write a chapter and 37-38 hours to write 15 chapters. Then it takes about a week to have the book edited.

We’re up to 45 days and still have time to run the book by a couple of friends while the professiohal editor is carching the typosk inconsistencies and fluidity issues.

So that’s it! Merely 45 days start to finish and the book is done. The the printing will take about two to three weeks and I always recommend Print On Demand (POD) for the first two or three runs. You will always find thig you want to change along to way, but the important issue is to get the book out there and start marketing it.

That’s where the fun begins.
