Hello Friends,
I’ve got another powerhouse H.O.P.E. saying for you:
“Writing a book is the adventure of a lifetime.”
Here's why:
You can’t write a good book without a point of view. And your point of view is made up of uncountable thoughts you’ve had about an infinity of moments you’ve experienced, both big and small. Your book will naturally showcase your perspective on life, so part of the writing process is examining that perspective, learning to notice it and tracing where it comes from. That means shining a light into your own psyche, bringing your unconscious thoughts into conscious awareness.
This is doubly true if your book draws from your own experiences. Then you have to shine that light into even darker corners. Once you start dredging your past for lessons, everything buried in the back of your psyche will bubble to the surface. Yes, even the muck hidden under shadowy layers of projection, justification, and coping mechanisms.
You’ll wade through mud you’ve been avoiding since childhood, only to find stinkier slime you didn’t even know was there. Sounds fun, right?
Look, I get it. Dredging up the past is daunting.
But I promise you, the mindset coaching is the best part of our program. It’s the secret sauce that pulls out the best version of your book so you can make the greatest possible impact and reach a bigger audience of paying readers.
And, it’s how you tap into the ultimate benefit of writing a book:
A new You!
You’ll actually become the person who has a best-selling book, the person the world needs you to be. Someone confident, who can share their message with unabashed conviction. A true leader!
But here’s the part I couldn’t imagine until I wrote my own books: doing this work actually IS fun. Unimaginably fun. Strap-into-your-seat-and-keep-your-arms-in-the-car fun!
When you start working through the hard stuff from your history, you’ll find new ways to approach your past with compassion and gratitude. Finding those perspectives will become a game, and putting in the work will start to feel like playing. Before you know it, the mud you were wading through isn’t an unpleasant obstacle anymore. It’s a playground.
That’s right. I’m going to teach you how to play in the mud.
How liberating to revisit your history without pain!
To rediscover joy you’d forgotten…
To remove the sting of childhood insults…
To see the humanity in your story’s villains…
And to have fun doing it!
