Why I Wrote "How To (Easily) Write A Book"

I wrote this and the other books in my Life Coaching Success series because I, like many coaches was keen to share my coaching through books.

At the start, even though I had worked as a feature write for some major newspapers and magazines, my actual book never happened.

When I became a coach it stayed stuck in my head as an idea, instead of becoming a valuable marketing strategy for my coaching.

I found that writing a book of over a 100 pages about a coaching specialty was a daunting and time consuming task even though I was an experienced professional writer.

So when I achieved my goal of becoming a published, and then self-published author I wanted to pass on the journey of how I got there.

I started with a simple "tips booklet"

I discovered through browsing the net, that an easy beginners path for many types of educational books is to compile a booklet of short, but invaluable tips on the subject. For me the result was "54 Tips On How Successful People Achieve Their Goals!".

The tips were easy and short to write, and the booklet inexpensive to design and print either in hard copy or as an ebook. It became a fabulous tool to use as a promotional give-away or sell for $5.

Inspired with confidence, I grew little tips booklet from a booklet into a beautifully designed self-published book of goal planning and life skills tips and called it "Ready Steady Goal!".

It was then picked up by a major publisher who commissioned me to expand it with lots more information to a proper book which they published and named "Ready Set Goal!" It was distributed and sold internationally.

More recently, I have now rewritten and repositioned it as "Mastering the Art of Goals Coaching" as part of my Life Coaching Successfully series.

It has been quite a journey over several years, but without that easy start with a tips booklet, becoming an author might still be in the too hard basket.

So that's how I got to write my book. Now let's move on to publishing and distribution.
