Believe it or not. I know people who have been working on their books for more than eight years. Do you know how many eight years there are in your lifetime? Let’s see how many months you have in your life first. Then you’ll have a clear picture. Actually, there are not many.
If you can live up to 80 years old, you only have about 960 months on this precious earth to do what you truly want. One goal may write a book of your own. Yes, I hear your question I want to write a book where do I start?
My journey in writing a book has been a long one. I never believed that I could write a book myself because nobody told me that I could, but I dared to make that scary and bold decision. The current circumstances you are in today came from many decisions you have made in the past months and years.
In 2014, I started my Chinese blog on a website as a hobby. I committed to posting a new article every week for about five years. Before I knew it, I had accumulated over 1.6 million readers for my blog. In 2019, I began to shift my time and energy to writing in English. At that time, I still didn’t believe that I could write a book. I didn’t know how to write a book and get it published. Somehow in my mind, a published author would be a goal that I was far from reaching.
I was invited to a women’s summit in November of 2019 by a friend. Something big happened to me there. At the end of the summit, we stood in a big circle and held hands with each other. One by one we spoke aloud what we really wanted for life. When it came to my turn, I was nervous, but firmly declared to everyone and the universe my dream. I wanted to become a bestselling author on Amazon.
The rest is history.
The decision of writing my first book has led me to write many books today and more books for the near future. A one-on-one coaching program is also a result that came from my book-writing experiences. In this program, I help writers and entrepreneurs become bestselling authors on Amazon in three months. I first learned how to start writing a book for beginners by writing a book outline. I then came out with my own way of writing a book fast by structuring a book before even writing a word.
I published three books in 2020. Two were best-selling books on Amazon. Pillars of Success, co-authored with Jack Canfield, author of The Success Principles and Chicken Soup for the Soul series books, and many other amazing authors. Empowered Women of Empower hour, were another collaboration book with 14 women entrepreneur authors. Five-minute Rule to Greatness became #1 in the new release category and best seller in three different categories. I took a challenge and wrote Five-minute Rule to Greatness in only 49 days.
I am writing my fourth book “ Confidence is Everything “ right now.
“If Grace can do it, so can I. “
This is the statement I heard from a lot of writers that I have been coaching and helped.
Do you know why?
Because I am not a native speaker. English is not my first language. When I first came to the United States 26 years ago, I only spoke broken English and did not understand a single sentence. I studied English for many years in China before coming here to America. Unfortunately, the curriculum at school in China never focused on speaking or listening. We were taught deaf and dumb English. I could recognize the words, but not understand the meaning in a sentence.
I need to repeat it to you one more time. If I can do it, so can you.
Yes, this is the secret of the first step to writing your own book, publishing, and becoming a best-selling author on Amazon. You have to decide to write a book, to begin with.
The last time I checked online, 200 million Americans want to write a book. If you are one of them, you need to take the first step to make your most profound decision and run with it. After three months, you can have your published book in your hands and your readers’ hands.
