PREFACE

Be Ye Inspired to Write!

Y oure reading this right now because you have an awareness inside that there is a book in you that needs to come out. Perhaps you have many books to share with the world. Writing is a deeply and profoundly inspirational experience for the writer and ultimately for the readers. Books have the ability to inspire in many dimensions, and book writing can create excellence in thought, giving you an ever higher experience of life and living.

Your future is created by being passionately on-purpose about something. Your purpose of being alive is to create and contribute. Writing is inspired creation at its best, and when done in the spirit of excellence, leaves a great and lasting contribution.

Within you now is the ability to write things you never dreamed possible and to serve greatly with love. Writing your book will be an unforgettable learning experience. Writing is a wonderful way to help you become all that you can be.

Only you have the ability to write your book. Contained herein is perhaps the magic elixir to stimulate you to do it.

Everyone is capable of expressing their unique experiences and understanding through the art of writing. I suspect you have special dreams, understandings, and visions you need to share, or you wouldnt have chosen this book. When you share the wisdom you have locked deep inside of you, you have the potential to change the world.

Maybe someone has told you, You ought to write a book. Or youve thought it yourself: I know that this idea is worthy of becoming a book! And Im the one to do it. That is the perfect place from which your ideas and your talents start to bloom. As you take the first step and your ability to write and clearly express your thinking grows and develops, youll be energized to keep going. A feeling of awe and wonder will come as you put your ideas and thoughts into form and see them begin to come to life.

A bicycle can only balance if it is moving forward. You as a writer have to keep writing to balance and continue moving ahead on your writing journey.

Connect with your potential fans early. Ask for feedback from friends and get support from the beginning. As your writing grows, you will start to create your own fan base. Your fans will potentially last far into the future, so remember to keep talking to them and also to keep a database.

I am forever reading the brilliance of the ages, written hundreds and thousands of years agothe works of Plato, Mark Twain, Shakespeare, the apostle Paul, and the stories of leaders like Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan. All departed from physical form long ago but have left us their wisdom contained in the pages of books.

As you move through the writing journey and your book starts to get read, youll realize that you have the power to influence through your writing. Maybe youll find opportunities to speak on stages to further illuminate your readers and fans.

Eventually your book could grow into an enterprise of writing and giving speeches and seminars. From there, even more opportunities can blossom, such as offers to speak at universities. I have been given ten honorary doctorates from different universities, which has been a delightful way to leverage my platform and share my message.

Best of all, through your book, you are leaving a printed legacy that will last for all time. Your descendants into many generations will revel in reading their ancestors work. Thats an inspirational legacy worth leaving.

Writing offers more opportunity now than ever in history. Of the 7.8 billion people living on planet earth, approximately 4 billion are literate. My goal is to get every one to be able to read, write, communicate, and think cooperatively into ever better tomorrows. Books connect minds that are far-flung in place and time, bringing new understandings and illumination and potentially fame and fortune to the author.

For the first time, I am sharing with you my insiders story. I hope it inspires you to release your potential for writing greatness. The writers challenges and opportunities have never been greater, so roll up your sleeves and get ready to enter the exciting world of authorship.

Writing is an exciting and inviting journey. It can make you better, smarter, and wiser. With marketing prowess, it can also make you vastly richer. Writing books has given me a lifetime of wonderful experiences. I hope it does the same for you. Happy writing!

AUTHORS NOTE

I hope and believe the book youre about to read will be much more than words printed on a page. I want this book to be part of an organic process that will encompass many great books by many thousands of authors.

For that to happen, the information in this book will need to continually change and improve based on information from you, the readers and writers. What worked for you in these pages? What didnt work? What would you add or take out?
