The Program:
We all want to write a bestselling book, yet few of us have. Every aspiring author wants to know the recipe for the secret sauce that gets their name on that coveted New York Times bestseller list. The first time is the hardest. So how can you create a book that has the right stuff? What do those who have accomplished that feat do differently from those whose books languish? How do they think and write differently?
You will learn:
- the three secrets for reaching others
- what it means to have an idea, versus having a calling
- how to avoid being like most people, who have at least one unfinished manuscript
- how to remain sane and heartful
- how to be your own best editor
