• someone you've never even metBut, beyond all that, your book can change someone's life.I will never forget the day I got an email from someone who had read one of my books (Do One Thing Different, the one that got me on Oprah) and told me that it had literally saved her life.Getting a message like that from someone you never met is one of the greatest feelings in the world.You may have wanted to write and publish a book but come face to face with barriers and fears that have stopped you:I don't have enough timeI am a nobody, who would want to buy my book?I am disorganized or ADD.I don't have anything original to say.I have lots of ideas, but I am not sure what my book (or my first book) should be about.Now is not the right time.
• I'll wait until I have lots of time, the right computer, have done all the research, know everything about my topic, fix up a writing space, the kids leave home, I retire, etc.I wouldn't know where to start.I let some of those things stop or delay me at the beginning too.
• But because I had delayed, I would get annoyed when I would have a great idea and then see someone else write a book about something similar while I was still procrastinating and "fixing' to get ready."Or to see someone else get to be an expert in some area I knew I could offer something too, but no one knew who I was because I didn't have a book out.Let me tell you some of my story about becoming an author.From Clueless, Scattered and Too Busy to Write to Being an Author and Making an ImpactIt took me years to write my first book . .
• .I started out as an unknown guy from Nebraska, clueless about how to write a book but with an idea that I thought could make a difference.I had a busy life: a full time practice and four kids at home.I actually had several ideas for books, but they remained unfocused and in my head.
