#mondaymotivation START READING! Starting to read can be as simple as follows: 1. Choose a book: Pick a book that interests you, whether it's a fiction novel, a non-fiction book, a magazine, or even a comic book. 2. Find a comfortable spot: Get comfortable and cozy in a quiet spot where you can focus on your reading. 3. Set aside dedicated time: Make time for reading, whether it's daily, weekly, or whatever works for you. 4. Start with small goals: Begin with short sessions, like 10-15 minutes, and gradually increase as you become more engaged. 5. Immerse yourself: Get lost in the story, learn new things, and enjoy the journey! Remember, the key is to make reading enjoyable and sustainable for you! #startreading #startnow #nevergiveup #selfmotivation #takebabysteps #startslow #beconsistent #beregular #smallgoals #dream #practice #achieve

A few weeks ago, I started reading this book, and I nearly finished it in one sitting. The book is not very long, and I appreciate that the author did not waste any time in getting right to the point—literally writing a book that even lazy readers could read. This book covers procrastination and productivity strategies. It is a good motivational book, in my opinion, because it covers the majority of the knowledge you actually need to succeed rather than just "vibes." If you have not already, you should read this book. Have a great week 🤝🏽 #documentingonLinkedIn

Whether you're writing a memoir or a how-to/instructional book, you need to clearly identify your nonfiction book's purpose. Your book's purpose is your promise to your readers that you will help them solve a specific problem or experience a transformation or undergo personal growth. So how do you identify your book's purpose? Start by asking yourself three questions: 1. What do you want the reader to know by the end of this book? 2. How do you want them to feel at the end of this book? 3. What do you want your readers to do after they put your book down, for themselves (how they'll take action) and in terms of the next steps you want them to take with you? Every chapter will take your readers one step closer to reaching what they desire. By the last page, hopefully, you will have earned their respect, trust, and confidence in you as the best person to help them implement everything they learned in your book. This is how you position your book to attract people into your world who may one day want to work with you in some way. It's also how you position your book to reach as many people as possible and have a positive impact on everyone who reads it.

I can't finish reading a book in one sitting. I just can't. Particularly, if it's a book on life skills, self-help, or self-development.  There is a reason for it.  I usually read to understand the author's point of view and determine the purpose of the given framework for a specific interpretation. I try and analyze if that also aligns with my thought process or not. At times, I resonate with how it has been explained by the author and what could be the way to implement it in my life either professionally or personally. It's also possible that I could identify in part with the writer's understanding and then adapt the concept based on my thoughts and observations. That's why,  I open any random page each day and read an excerpt from it.   The insight I would use that day originates from that page. In this sense, books help me learn, comprehend, and even implement in any way I can daily.

The same two words always put authors' backs up. “So what?” The author has just told me a great story for their book. And I say, “So what?” It makes them pissed – but that’s why they’re paying me. A story can be dramatic, revelatory, exciting, or hysterically funny, but those things aren’t enough by themselves. To get into the book, the story has to make a point the reader will benefit from reading. It doesn’t mean the story doesn’t get into the book. It means I help the author figure out the “so what” that goes with it. When you approach it the right way, virtually every story has a so what. That way the reader gets a point to take away. As well as a great story to read.   #ghostwriting #businessbooks #thoughtleadership

Are too afraid to try and want to hold you back too. Don’t write your book to prove them wrong, either. Write it for you. Your book will change your life and will likely change someone else’s life.

EFFECTIVE MOTIVATION Here's a useful piece of advice, given by my wife when I was rattling on about a book I was going to write: 'Dave, just shut up and do it.' Seven words. I did. Both. It was my first published fiction book, 1986. Seven since then. Effective motivation needs not to take half a day. #success#win#business#achieve#endeavour#belief#attempt#try#career#search#Writer#marketing#copy#advertising#publicity#promotion#drive#emotion#determine#attitude#mindset#decision#application#work#possible#dream#goal#doit
