A personal brand is vital for an author, AND for selling more books. Today, we're diving in on why a personal brand is helpful for authors and how it can help you sell more books.

 So let's say you've got this amazing book idea and you have started it. Maybe you've got a few ideas. Maybe it's just a seed of an idea. Or maybe you actually have the whole thing mapped out and you are this close to finishing it. There is something inside of us that resists the act to complete a book. And I think a huge piece of it stems largely from fear. A book is a very personal thing to put out there to the world. And so I get how it's scary. So part of this is like, maybe you just need a mindset shift around you really just need to get the book out there.

Right? You've got it written. I've heard of a lot of people who have full book manuscripts sitting on their cloud drive that the world will never see because they were too afraid to put it out there to the world. And then there are other people who have great ideas and they just need that little oomph to get it across the finish line.

So today we're going to talk about just a few - not all - but just a few of, of just some tips for busy real people to do this. It is so easy to sit there and say, well, sure, like follow these 10 steps and you'll have a book manuscript. The reality is we have a thousand things vying for our attention on any given day. And so, while we may be well-meaning in wanting to finish a writing project, there is something that just often gets in the way. And so for people like us who have a lot of things going on, which most people who are thinking about writing a book are usually involved in multiple different things in their life. This isn't something that is meant to cause extra stress. I say that in a sense of recognizing and giving full validation to the fact that what you were trying to do is going to meet some resistance. We have a lot on our plates.

Let's see if we can find some tools and systems to help get our book draft book draft across the finish line.

It is a lot of work. So first off, let's just recognize and celebrate that if you are pursuing this idea. That in and of itself is a huge accomplishment.
