“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” -Albert Einstein

According to a survey of 1,006 Americans, sponsored by a small Michigan publisher, 81% of Americans say they want to write a book.

The majority of people answered that the main reason for writing a book is to share their own experiences and inspire others.

That’s awesome!

But….why not that many people actually do it?

If they have a message they want to share with the world, what’s stopping them from writing and publishing a book?

The majority of people answered that they don’t know where to start and I understand. There’s a lot of information out there and it can get very overwhelming.

Luckily, Chandler Bolt has stepped up to lead the way.

Who is Chandler Bolt?

Chandler is the founder of Self-Publishing School and 4-times Bestselling Author. He helps people write, market and publish their first bestselling book. He has worked with tons of entrepreneurs, speakers & coaches to help them get their book written, become a bestseller & use their book to grow their business.

The main ideas of the book

Writing and publishing a book can help you:

-Network with influencers.

-Establish yourself as an expert in your field.

-Expand your impact to more people.

-Diversify your income streams.

Everybody can write and publish a book, but first you must have:

-A strong WHY that will drive you and keep you going when you want to quit.

-Proven tools, systems, and methods that will guide you step-by-step on your writing journey.

What I like about the book

-It’s a short concise book with actionable steps on how to become a better writer. Whether you are writing a blog post or your first book, the lessons in this book will help you get unstuck and take your writing to next level.

-Chandler shares from his own experiences about how he really sucked at writing when he first got started all the way to becoming a serial book writer and marketer.

-The title and book cover design got my attention.

-Chandler’s style of writing. I feel like my best friend is giving me advice.

-It comes with a complimentary 10-day FREE mini-course on how to find your WHY, book idea, and step-by-step writing methods walkthrough.

-Testimonials from people who have applied Chandler’s methods to become better writers and even finish their first book.

What I don’t like about the book

There’s nothing bad I can say about the book and I’m already putting all the knowledge into action.

My recommendation:

A lot of people want to write a book just like a lot of people want to lose weight.

What separates the Wanters from the Takers is consistent action.

If you really want to write a book or just become an overall better writer but don’t know where to start, take the first step to becoming an author and grab a copy of How To Not Suck at Writing Your First Book.
