The post 7 Reasons Why You Should Write A Book This Year appeared first on Project Life Mastery.

I have created a new and improved version of K Money Mastery which is called, Mastering Book Publishing!

Do you aspire to write a book but are struggling to start because you don't know your reason for doing so?

You know you can do it, but there may be a little voice inside your head that keeps telling you to wait, or that you aren't a good enough writer, or that you're just too busy.

Yes, writing a book can feel like a daunting task, but it's also an incredibly powerful tool for sharing your message.

Are you ready to learn 7 reasons why you should write a book this year?

Books can have a huge impact on people's lives.

Think about the most important book that you've ever read. How did it make you feel? The power of books is unmeasurable. I have dedicated my life and my work to personal growth and development. Reading has been a powerful tool that has allowed me to learn more about myself, others, and the world. But don’t take it from me. Here’s what the late and famed scientist, Carl Sagan, had to say:

What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person… Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other… A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.

A lot of people ask me, “Stefan, how do I write a book?” I've written and published quite a few books of my own. Over the years, I've shared my process for writing and publishing best-selling books on Amazon. As a result, I've helped a lot of writers become successful Kindle publishers.

Despite this, I know all too well the difficulties that you can face when writing a book for the first time. The biggest mistake that I see a lot of writers make is that they try to cram too much information into one book. When you take this approach, it's easy to get stuck on an idea, ruminate about the topic, procrastinate, and then stop altogether.

As Steven Wright once said, “I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done.” Your first book doesn't have to be a masterpiece. Don't get hung up on writing a best-seller right out of the gate. All that matters is that you just start and don't stop.

Let's take a step back for a moment. Before you can sit down and write a book, it's important that you have a strong enough why for doing so. I want you to successfully finish a book that you are proud of. Here are 7 reasons why you should write a book this year.

1. It Provides A Platform To Share Your Story

According to the esteemed psychologist, Dr. Dan McAdams, the deepest level of our identity is our “narrative identity.” Everybody has a life story that they hold in their hearts that articulates where they have come from, where they are now, and where they are going. This life story is just like any other story. It follows an exciting plot, features main and supporting characters, and has lessons to learn.

Writing can be extremely cathartic. In fact, research shows that emotional, autobiographical storytelling can be a path to truly owning your story. As a writer, vulnerability is one of your most powerful tools. Not only that, but it is also the most beautiful form of human self-expression.

Humans love hearing stories because it gives them a sense of unity, clarity, and purpose. So, what better way to provide that gift to the world than to write your own story in a book? Not only will you help others to relate their lives to yours, but you’ll also bring a psychological boost to your own life as well!

2. It Allows You To Make Passive Income

A little extra money never hurt anybody, whether that's to pay your bills more easily, treat yourself to something nice, or to save for the future (or maybe for all of these!). Writing a book is one of the easiest and most effective ways to make passive income. I’m not talking about a few dollars here and there… I’m talking about building an online business model that has the potential to make you a lot of money.

The self-publishing age is here and it continues to grow every year. According to the latest report from ProQuest affiliate, Bowker, more than 1 million books were self-published in 2017. There is no doubt that there has never been a better time to write a book.

It's important to realize that a lot of people don't have the attention span for books that are longer than 100 pages. When you start writing your book, don't fall into the trap of assuming that long is good. In actuality, short eBooks sell better than longer novels. I have been able to create a 6-figure book publishing business, selling short Kindle ebooks and audiobooks. How would it feel to have these kinds of earnings in your bank account?

Of course, eBooks aren’t the only way to make passive income. You can also take the more traditional route of paper publishing. J.K. Rowling, who wrote the Harry Potter books, now has a net worth of almost $1 billion after being poor when she first began writing. It worked for her. There's no reason why it can't work for you as well.

In all of these cases, however, it’s the same: Once you’ve written your book, you keep making money from it every time someone buys a copy. Compare that to any other job where you have to work for someone else in order to get your monthly paycheck. Making money while you sleep is a sweet deal.

3. It Positions You as an Expert 

I believe that writing a book is one of the best ways to build credibility and position yourself as an expert in your industry. Ever since I became a published author, my opportunities have increased tenfold. As a result, I have been able to expand my area of influence.

Let’s face it, knowledge is power. Not only have my books allowed me to reach my target audience, but they have also attracted a whole range of new followers as well. More reach means more opportunities. It’s time for you to become a thought leader in your niche. Maybe it’s a life philosophy you’ve adopted, maybe it’s a challenge that you've overcome, or maybe it’s a new way of mastering habits that have transformed your life.

Whatever it is, I know that you have something that people could learn from you.  You’re already an expert at something. Go ahead and write about it. When you add value to the world on a consistent basis, over time you are deemed to be a credible and trust-worthy person. There is no greater honor.

4. It Gives You a Sense of Accomplishment 

In their ground-breaking research on self-determination theory, psychologists Dr. Edward Deci and Dr. Richard Ryan found that people have a fundamental need to feel competent. In other words, they want to feel as if they are achieving worthy goals. Without fulfilling this need, it will feel as if you are missing something in your life.

Think about the times when you felt sluggish and procrastinated. Didn’t feel that great, right? Now think about times when you were completely in the zone and checking off everything on your to-do list. That’s what it feels like to fulfill your need for competence. Or in other words, your need for accomplishment.

The great news is that you can fulfill this basic need for accomplishment by writing a book. Just imagine writing that last sentence now. How amazing would that feel? It might sound hard right now, but once you break it down, you begin to realize that it isn't all that daunting. If you write one page a day, you’ll have a 365-page book in a year! If you write two pages every day, you’ll have reached that milestone in half a year. It's all about perspective.

5. It Teaches You To Be A Better Reader

The best communicators are the best listeners. The best painters are the best observers. And the best writers are the best readers. Like any art, the best books are created from the inspiration gained by studying the great books that have already been written. Are there any books you’ve been meaning to read but haven’t gotten around to yet?

Now is your chance to because it will make you a better writer. By reading great books, you’ll learn the tricks of the trade and start to appreciate the little things that only other writers would appreciate. Soon, you’ll have a library in your head ready to pour out into a book of your own.

6. It Challenges You To Grow

What’s the last thing you did that really challenged you? Think about bodybuilders. Week in and week out they show up for themselves. They possess sheer determination and persistence and stop at nothing to build their physical and mental strength. The fact of the matter is that you can only grow by challenging yourself. No pain, no gain.

If you want to transform yourself, then you've got to be willing to step outside of your comfort zone and do something that scares you. Writing a high-quality book requires a lot of self-discipline, effort, and commitment. Researching, writing, editing, re-writing, adhering to deadlines, crafting ideas, and then spending time putting it all together into a final manuscript is a lot of work.

However, I believe that when you truly want something, you will do whatever it takes to make it happen. Trust me when I say that it's all worth it when you finally see the end product and find out that people are receiving value from it. There is no greater feeling knowing that your work is impacting lives.

7. It Allows You To Make An Impact

When Malala Yousafzai was just 11, she wrote a blog exposing the grueling details of her everyday grind living under the terrifying Taliban rule in Pakistan. A few years later, she was on a bus going home after writing an exam. But this wasn’t a normal bus ride. She was shot and hit in the head by Taliban assailants because of her activism. Miraculously, she survived.

But she didn’t stop there. She began advocating for everyone’s right to have an education. Overnight, she became famous around the world for the impact that her message had. She then wrote a book called, I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban, which quickly became an international best-seller. In 2014, at the age of 17, she became the youngest-ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Many people would want to go into hiding after such a brutal attack. Some would even aggressively retaliate against those who tried to hurt them. But Malala did something unique and special; she used her ideas to inspire change and action in the world through advocacy and writing a book.

In her words: “Let us pick up our books and pens. They are the most powerful weapons.” Malala is a shining example of the change that is possible through words. You too can change the world. Go ahead and start writing.

There has never been a better time to write a book.

Like I said above, writing a book doesn’t have to be hard. It all starts with that first word. By the end of it, you’ll surprise yourself how much you learned along the way. As I always say, it's not what you are, but who you become that matters most.

So, what’s stopping you? Discover your message and share it with the world. I trust that you will impact the lives of others. I can’t wait to read your book.

3 Ways To Successfully Market Your eBook https://projectlifemastery.com/market-your-ebook/ https://projectlifemastery.com/market-your-ebook/#comments Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:22:13 +0000 http://projectlifemastery.com/?p=6633 If you want to sell your eBook, you need a solid marketing strategy.

The post 3 Ways To Successfully Market Your eBook appeared first on Project Life Mastery.

]]>

I would like to share 3 ways to successfully market your eBook. In today's digital world, Kindle publishing has become a growing trend.

Amazon is becoming a primary shopping search engine for the modern-day consumer, with 55% of searches beginning on the site. The Amazon Kindle platform has made it possible for nearly anyone to become a self-published author and create a successful eBook business.

I believe that Kindle publishing is one of the fastest and easiest ways to make money online. I have been able to build a successful six-figure passive income from Kindle publishing, and so can you, if you are willing to do the hard work.

Writing an eBook is a huge accomplishment, however, a lot of people forget how important it is to market an eBook once it has been written. You could have award-winning content that wows your target readers. But if you fail to create a great online marketing strategy, nobody will be lining up to buy it. Are you ready to create a successful Kindle publishing business?

Do you want my proven step-by-step system for publishing books on Amazon? CLICK HERE to purchase my new and improved Mastering Book Publishing course!

If you are reading this and you've already written your Kindle eBook, congrats! Now it's time to want to sell your eBook to a wide audience of people, you need to treat your eBook like a business.

Without marketing, your business will not survive. This is one of the biggest Kindle publishing mistakes. If you take the necessary steps in order to promote your eBook, your sales are guaranteed to skyrocket.

Below are 3 ways to successfully market your eBook:

1. Partner with eBook blogs

One of the best ways to market your eBook is to partner with a powerful community of fellow eBook lovers that can provide a platform for getting your content seen by a wider audience of prospective buyers.

There is a multitude of blogs, websites, and social media pages — like Goodreads, Kindle Nation, and InspiredReads — both free and paid, that are devoted to reviewing and promoting eBooks.

2. Give Your eBook Away For Free

If you are an up-and-coming author and are new to the Kindle game, experimentation is key. Giving your eBook away for free is a great marketing strategy to increase your credibility as an author and gain more readers. How?

When your book is free, it comes up in more searches on retailer sites. At first, this strategy may seem counterintuitive, but it's the best way to make your eBook stand out from the rest. I am a firm believer that if you aren't willing to give, you can't expect to receive it.

The more books that you give away for free, the more fans you gain, and the more sales you make. A great tool to use to start generating interest in your eBook is the creation of a powerful landing page.

3. Target Your Audience with Facebook Ads

Social media is one of the most effective marketing tools for promoting your eBook, and one of the best platforms for doing so is Facebook. In particular, utilizing Facebook Ads are a great way to target a specific audience of people who would be interested in the content of your book.

The first step is to create a business page on Facebook that is dedicated to your eBook, and then the goal is to get more fans, which is where the power of Facebook advertising comes into play.

Successful Facebook ads are specific and ask a question. If you want people to buy your eBook, you need your message to be perceived by readers as something of value. These are great strategies to draw readers in.

In the words of Alexis Ohanian, “At the end of the day, how many ads did it take to convince you to use Facebook or Twitter? It wasn't marketing or advertising that convinced you to use these services. It was their value.” These are 3 ways to successfully market your eBook. In order to get your eBook in the hands of as many people as possible, you need to promote your book in a creative and strategic way.

Are you ready to start publishing e-books and making passive income online? The world is waiting for your words.

4 Skills That Every Successful Entrepreneur Must Master https://projectlifemastery.com/successful-entrepreneur/ https://projectlifemastery.com/successful-entrepreneur/#respond Thu, 20 Jul 2017 00:33:02 +0000 http://projectlifemastery.com/?p=6496 Entrepreneurship is a challenging career choice.

I would like to share with you 4 skills that every successful entrepreneur MUST master. In order to succeed in today's ever-changing and ultra-competitive business world, you need to possess a unique mix of competencies to help tackle the myriad of challenges that arise.

Everyone starts somewhere. Even the most successful entrepreneurs in the world have gone through the process of building their skills and improving their strengths. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs get stuck in their ways and forget to invest in their greatest asset – themselves.

Research shows that nine out of ten startups will fail. This is bleak news for many aspiring entrepreneurs, but if you take the time and effort to master these skills, you will be one step ahead of your competitors.

Someone once said, “Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't.” Are you ready to learn what it takes in order to master your business?

Do you want to learn how to accelerate the process of mastering your online business? CLICK HERE to join my Online Business Mastery program!

Below are 4 skills that every successful entrepreneur must master:

1. Self-Confidence

Starting a company is both an exciting and overwhelming feat. At some point in their career, every entrepreneur experiences feelings of self-doubt.

Without self-confidence, becoming a successful entrepreneur is impossible. If you don't believe in yourself, how do you expect anyone to believe in you? The most effective way to grow your self-confidence is to step outside your comfort zone.

Doing the very thing that you think you cannot do will build your self-esteem so that you can master any challenge that stands in your way of success. In the words of Samuel Johnson, “Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.”

2. Integrity

If there is one value that every entrepreneur should live by, it's to build a reputation of integrity and credibility. You are the face of your brand. Warren Buffett said it best, “In looking for people to hire, look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don’t have the first one, the other two will kill you.”

You are the face of your brand. When it comes to purchasing products or services, the reality is that people buy from people that they like. Your success in becoming an entrepreneur will be determined by the number of people who trust you.

Commit to being honest in everything that you do and say. In the world of entrepreneurship, success will come and go, but integrity withstands the test of time.

3. Innovation

In today's digital world, entrepreneurial success requires the production of innovative ideas and cutting-edge solutions. Innovative entrepreneurs make a difference; they question, observe, network, and experiment every day in order to generate new ideas.

It doesn't matter how many hours you invest in building your business. None of it will matter if you aren't harnessing the power of innovation. In today's world, entrepreneurs need to think smart, not hard.

The founders of the most innovative companies in the world, like Amazon, changed the game by creating new business ideas that nobody had thought of before. If you want to create a sustainable online business that has a strong brand and client base, never stop improving your business.

4. Resilience

You won't last long as an entrepreneur if you aren't resilient. Resilience is defined as the ability to bounce back from adversity and come back stronger than ever. Everyday entrepreneurs are faced with a myriad of difficult decisions that test their emotional and mental capacities.

Entrepreneurial success requires that you stay calm under pressure, possess a positive attitude, and view failure as an opportunity to grow. If you are passionate about your business, these are some core resiliency skills that you need to develop.

Being able to overcome challenges takes sheer perseverance, courage, and the belief that what you’re doing has a purpose. If you don't have a strong why you won't get far in the business world. When challenges arise, remember that tough times don't last, but tough people do.

These are 4 skills that every successful entrepreneur must master. If you have time to invest in your business, you have time to invest in yourself. Mastering these skills will allow you to take your business to the next level and be one step ahead of your competition!

Below is a sneak peak of my interview with Trevor Turnbull:

Can you share a little bit about yourself and how you got started in the online business and marketing world?

My entrepreneurial journey started in 2003. I have a marketing degree, but didn’t do anything with it. I knew pretty quickly that I had an entrepreneurial bug inside of me. I got into sales right out of university, and after 3 years I got sick of working for other people and taking direction.

Mike Olaski first introduced me to the digital world in 2006. One year later, I quit my job, and Mike and I started a website development company. We built our business up to 40 clients and then sold that company. From there, I went to work for a digital agency in Saskatoon, where I got to work for some multi-national brands and sports teams. This was in 2007-2008, when social media was just starting to become popular. The executives that I was working with were like, “What is this Facebook thing and how can we leverage it?” I had no clue, but I told them that I did. I taught myself how to use it and started facilitating training programs.

The online world transformed into my passion, in particular the social media side of business and how you can use it to build relationships. I quit that job, and started doing consulting around this exact thing. Mike and I reconnected, went out east and launched a 2nd website, which we called Sports Fan Connect. It was just two dudes on the road, attending sports games, leveraging contacts, and documenting what was going on in the social media world of the sports industry. I used that platform to connect with people that I wanted to meet as well.

How can LinkedIn help people generate leads or sales for their online businesses? What are the main benefits of this tool?

LinkedIn has evolved a lot over the years. It comes down to some basic principles.

The starting point is one’s LinkedIn profile. Oftentimes, it gets viewed as an online resume, a place where you dump your experience, but that’s a big mistake. When you think about core marketing principles you need to address what is the pain point of your audience and figure out how to solve that problem. You have to do the same thing with your LinkedIn profile. If you solve a problem or want to for that matter, and you can address those things, your profile should speak to that person. That will compel him/her to connect with you.

I talk about a very simplified buyer journey, which is comprised of awareness, consideration, evaluation, and then advocacy. If you are building awareness to get yourself in front of the right people who might buy your services or products, they have to know within 3 seconds why they want to read more. That’s why it is so critical to master those tiny tweaks to your profile in order to spark someone’s attention.

Can you expand on how else you can utilize LinkedIn in order to generate more leads and sales?

I talk about a 7-step process in my online training program, The 30 Day Sales Machine. Once you’ve established that base of clearly communicating what you do, the next step is for you to be proactive, and to go find the people that you want to work with. In some cases, you need to play the numbers game. You want to reach out to every single person, but with very targeted messaging. It’s such a tiny thing, but when you are asking to connect with someone on LinkedIn, you have to put it in his/her court to make the decision. It’s a psychological thing. With LinkedIn, the more specific you can be, the more effectively you can speak to the person you are talking to.

Can you talk a bit more about the content-side of LinkedIn?

I go through a 7-step process during my live webinar, where I teach people how you can land your next client using the LinkedIn funnel. The first six steps focus on things like messaging, follow-ups, etc., but the seventh step is about how to build expertise and raise your authority through content publishing. You can do that through publishing directly on LinkedIn, because it has a built-in database of your target audience. The more that you build your 1st-degree network with the right people, the more that your content will be seen. You can also message those people directly and share your content with them. You need to be consistent and have processes in place in order to scale what you are doing. In doing so, it raises your level of expertise.

Can you share any strategies with regards to how people can attract more leads or sales to their physical products or Amazon books, via LinkedIn?  

When you are selling a service, you are building relationships. In between selling services are people that sell products, but don’t necessarily sell a widgetized product — like a book that provides education, or a physical product like a supplement. You have to take a hybrid approach, where you are making people aware of what you are selling, but always coming from a value first perspective.

Going back to the buyer journey, awareness is always #1. If you are selling a supplement and you want trainers to be aware of it, you are going to target personal trainers by making sure that your profile speaks to what value you offer those customers. Maybe it’s in the form of educational content that speaks to those things (i.e. testimonials, a video, quality pictures), and then start inviting those people to connect. The same thing goes for e-Book publishing. One of the best ways to offer value is to give away chapters of your book.

What advice would you give to someone that has aspirations of starting an online business? What does it take in order to be successful in the online business world?

In 2009, after years of trying to find my way, I landed on my Mom’s couch for 6 months at the age of 35. It was really humbling and uplifting to know that I had my Mom there to support me. From there, it took me 5-6 years to figure everything out.

The turning point for me was in the last two years. I got hyper focused. I know that I didn’t want to pigeonhole myself as just the “LinkedIn Guy”, but I realized that it was my #1 source to be able to establish expertise and then to be able to build trust and expand on what I teach. I recommend to people that they pick something, model other peoples’ success, get really good at what they do, and don’t get distracted. That is my advice for how to grow your online business organically.

Trevor has graciously gifted you guys with a free video training that will guide you through the 7-step process for creating an irresistible LinkedIn profile that will attract clients. Check it out now!

I’m so grateful that I was able to interview Trevor Turnbull on how to leverage the power of LinkedIn marketing to generate sales and grow your online business. I hope this interview has inspired you to start or level up your LinkedIn marketing strategy!

I would like to share with you the ABCs of online business growth. In today's digital world, if you aren't growing, you're dying. The ability to create long-term sustainability is one of the biggest challenges that entrepreneurs face. In order to stand the test of time, you need to keep growing.

Growing an online business requires a lot of energy, commitment, and hard work. Entrepreneurs are faced with constant challenges, any one of which can cost them, if you aren't prepared. The harsh reality is that only about 50% of online businesses survive. If you don't want to be one of these numbers, it is imperative that you build a strong foundation.

Entrepreneurs who run successful businesses understand that it takes a carefully planned and executed strategy in order to stay on top of their game. In the words of Dr. Graeme Edwards, “It’s not the plan that is important, it’s the planning.” Are you ready to take your online business to the next level?

Do you want to learn how to accelerate the growth of your online business? CLICK HERE to join my Online Business Mastery program!

If you run an online business, there are a series of strategies that you can implement in order to accelerate your growth. Let's explore the ABCs of online business growth:

1. Always Be Improving

In life and in business, you always have to be growing, improving, and evolving. The world is constantly changing, and if you don't adapt to those changes, you will get left behind. I attribute so much of my success in my online business to the fact that I commit to constant and never-ending improvement every day of my life. I am so committed to self-development, that I built an online brand around it.

In business, constant improvement refers to focusing on activities that add value, and reducing everything else (Kos, 2017). Focus on constantly updating your skills and knowledge, so that you stand out as a thought leader in your industry, and provide massive value to your target market.

Moreover, continuously improve your products, processes, and services, over time. True business growth requires that you do so. In the words of Lou Holtz, “In this world, you're either growing or you're dying, so get in motion and grow.”

2. Build An Online Brand

More than ever before, being a successful entrepreneur requires that you build an online brand. It is what gives you the ultimate competitive advantage. A lot of people want to build an online business, however, they approach it with the wrong mindset; they create a product or service, without building a brand.

The reality is that brands outlive products. For example, when the company, Kraft bought Cadbury for $19.5 Billion, what do you think they bought? The chocolate? No, they bought the brand (Goodson, 2012).

Not only does an online brand create awareness of who you are and what your business stands for, but when it's executed strategically, it is the easiest way to foster the growth of your fan base, while simultaneously elevating your credibility. The reality is that people do business with people that they like and trust.

Jeff Bezos said it best – “Your brand is what other people say about when you are not in the room.” Choose wisely. Your online business growth depends on it.

3. Create Added Value For Customers

In today's online world, if you don't provide high-quality content to your customers and give them what they want, your competitors will do it for you. Your online business isn't about YOU. Rather, it's about meeting your customers' needs and adding value on a consistent basis. This is one of the most effective ways to experience business growth.

Creating business relationships is not about selling, its' about helping. This is where a lot of entrepreneurs make mistakes. Drop the sales tactics and start engaging, educating, communicating, and solving your customer's problems. Figure out what is important to your target market and how your product or service will benefit them, and then, DELIVER.

Adding value is what has allowed me to build a 7-figure online brand. In the words of Tony Robbins, “If you add the value, you will become the brand. Find a way to add more value than anyone else does.”

Growth doesn't have to be an uphill battle. Try implementing these ABCs of online business growth into your own business. You will surprise yourself how effectively these strategies can accelerate your business growth.

The digital world will continue evolving and growing, but the question remains, “Will you?”
