Easily Write And Publish Book About Your Coaching

It seems just about every coach believes they have a book "inside" them, just waiting to be written and taking them to the status of "author".

But for many, because they just don't know where to start, that book never happens. It stays in the "too hard" procrastination basket.

So if writing a book about your coaching is on your list of "someday" goals, read on to learn the steps and options I took to become a successful author.   

Who Needs You To Write A Book About Your Coaching?

One of the most important steps to being a successful author is  to start with some careful book writing research. This is to clarify who needs and would benefit from your information.

Two questions to ask yourself are...

1. Who will my coaching book appeal to and help?

This question is important because if your coaching book is to be a success it needs a real point of difference compared to what is already available in a crowded marketplace. In the book I give you some clues on where to research and what to look for. 

2. How do I want my book to look and feel?

One of the most important things to consider in your research is that your book will be a representation of who you are, your knowledge and your professionalism in both content AND presentation. The cover design and, in the case of hard copy, the physical feel of the book is really important and again I give you some important things to be aware of when you do your research. 

Five Tips on (easily) Writing a Book

Sometimes the content will just roll of your pen or computer. And at other times things will stall and it will be a struggle. These are just a few of the strategies from my book that I found useful to keep up the momentum.

You'll find more information on how to go about each of them in my book.

1. Create a template to write your book that you can fill in
2. Imagine you are an instructor or coach 
3. Set a firm goal to keep you on track
4. Use any of your published articles
5. Overcome writers block when the going gets tough

Why I Wrote This Book About Book Writing Success

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.
