<p><strong>Do ‘Just One Thing’ To Get Your Book Done</strong></p>
<p>By Donna Kozik</p>
<p>Many times when we think about writing and publishing a book our minds careen out of control into the depths of overwhelm.</p>
<p>Let’s put the brakes on that.</p>
<p>Instead, what one thing could you do right now to move forward in your dream of becoming a published author?</p>
<p>Here are four “just 1 thing” ideas I have for the want-to-be-published. I encourage you to pick one to apply today so you can be a published authors sooner rather than later.</p>
<p><strong>1. Develop Your “Goal Statement.”</strong></p>
<p>If you join one of my “Write a Book in a Weekend” events, the first thing I will encourage you to do is write and send me a goal statement describing why you want to write your book and what it will accomplish for you.</p>
<p>It doesn’t have to be long—200-300 words should do it.</p>
<p>And there is great power in those few words—more often than not, it’s the participants who take a few minutes to write and send me their goal statement who get their book done by the end of the weekend. How about that? No coincidences.</p>
<p><strong>2. Describe Your Ideal Reader</strong></p>
<p>When you are in the throes of thinking, thinking, thinking about your book and get caught up in the “doing” of writing, it can be very easy to become, frankly, quite self-absorbed—meaning you lose focus about who the book is for in the first place: your reader.</p>
<p>Another short assignment I would give you as a “Write a Book in a Weekend” participant is to write a short description of your “ideal reader.” Tell me about one person who will benefit from your book. Is it a man or woman? What age? Where do they live? What do they do? And then the big question: what is the biggest problem or challenge they face that your book will solve?</p>
<p><strong>3. Write Your “About the Author” </strong></p>
<p>You might think this is a “save for last” item, however I encourage my peeps to write their “About the Author” section first, stressing not only their own credentials, but the specific problems and challenges their readers face and how they intend to solve them. It’s another good way to get your book defined in your own mind, plus provide yourself with a big picture overview.</p>
<p><strong>4. Take the “10 Minute Challenge” </strong></p>
<p>This is a simple but effective technique to get going on a larger project. Set a timer for 10 minutes and GO, GO, GO, GO, GO! Challenge yourself to see how much you can write in those 10 minutes. Most likely you’ll get such momentum going you’ll add another 10, and another, and another…I use this often, including now as I write this piece. <img src='http://womenwithpassionandpurpose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>5. Speed Write About Your Favorite Topic </strong></p>
<p>Sometimes what gets in our way is thinking too much about what we “should” write versus what we “want” to write. No one says you have to start with Chapter One. A great way to jumpstart your book project is to pick your favorite topic and start writing about that, even if it might be the “wrap up” chapter.</p>
<p>You can see a common theme to all these ideas—getting started somewhere, anywhere! It’s amazing—and also magical—about what getting started can do for a person. I encourage you to pick one or two of the items above, apply them right now, and let me know the results.</p>
<p>Donna Kozik is a two-time award winning author who has been featured in Woman’s Day, Women’s World, Teen People, The L.A. Times, The Baltimore Sun, NPR’s “Marketplace” and other media. She now shows others how to write and publish a book fast and easy to use as a “big business card.” She does this through “Write a Book in a Weekend” live and virtual events.</p>
<p>You can find out more about how to write your book fast and easy during a call Donna and I are doing Monday, January 11. Register for the call (and the recording) here: <span style="color: #000080;"><strong><a href="http://bit.ly/writewithdonna">http://bit.ly/writewithdonna</a></strong></span></p>
<p>I hope you&#8217;ll join me, and just do it!!  That book will not get written if the words and message remain in your head.  Just start the writing process, and next thing you&#8217;ll know, you will be well on your way to becoming a published author!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-123" title="womaninfield" src="http://womenwithpassionandpurpose.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/womaninfield2.jpg" alt="womaninfield" width="225" height="339" /> For many of us right now, taking control of your life seems difficult, or even impossible.  It almost feels as though there are just too many obstacles getting in our way of achieving our God given destiny.   Do you feel at times that you just can&#8217;t do anymore than you already are?  Are you spending countless hours searching for the &#8220;golden ticket,&#8221; that is going to take you from where you are right now and propel you further than you have ever imagined? </strong></p>
<p><strong>What is it that you are really searching for? </strong></p>
<p><strong>Financial Freedom</strong></p>
<p><strong>More Time</strong></p>
<p><strong>Fulfilling work/Career</strong></p>
<p><strong>Better Health</strong></p>
<p><strong>Loving &amp; Healthy Relationships</strong></p>
<p><strong> It is my belief that every one of us has a burning desire to live a rich and fulfilling life in all of the areas listed above,  so why are so many of us feeling stressed, depressed, and totally out of control?   It is primarily due to our own limiting thoughts and beliefs.  Maybe someone told you at one time that you could never be truly successful, or that you were living in a &#8220;dream world,&#8221; with no hopes of achieving greatness.  For whatever reason you are experiencing hardship and  difficulty, it is a direct result of a series of choices that you&#8217;ve made somewhere along the way. </strong></p>
<p><strong> Here&#8217;s the great news, you CAN make choices today that will turn everything around and bring you the kind of peace and fulfillment that you are desiring in every area of your life.  Are you really ready to take control of your life?  If so, you will need to focus on having clarity and a vision for what you want. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Here are 3 keys that will help you reach every one of your goals.</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Direction: You need to know where you are going</strong></li>
<li><strong>Have a Plan: Be Prepared, study, use a system for success or a blueprint to follow</strong></li>
<li><strong>Take Action:  In order to reach every one of your goals, you must be willing to move towards it</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong> As we draw near to the close of 2009, I would like to ask you what it is you would like to see for you and your life in 2010.  What will your life look like 12 months from now?  Will you be in a better place, achieving all you desire, or will you be in the same position as you are right now?   The difference maker is going to be in taking control of your life.  You make the choice!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-95" title="bigdreams1" src="http://womenwithpassionandpurpose.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bigdreams1.jpg" alt="bigdreams1" width="246" height="213" />Has there ever been a time in your life that you have struggled with just living day to day? So often in today&#8217;s economic climate, people feel like just giving up.   After all, the economy is bad, the jobless rate is at an all time high, foreclosures are everywhere, so why even bother to work on improving your life, right? </strong></p>
<p><strong>Wrong!  There has never been a better time to pick yourself up and start dreaming about what your life could look like.  We all have choices to make.  We can choose a self defeating life, and just give into what the world is telling us to accept, OR we can choose to rise above it and make choices to move our lives forward.  The fact is, you have the power to choose!  Will you fall victim, or will you choose to rise to victory?</strong></p>
<p><strong>In order to have that big life that you desire, you must first have the dream and the vision to fulfill it.  What are you dreaming about today?  Do you have clarity and a true vision for what&#8217;s really important in your life?  Big dreams give you the ability to set higher expectations for yourself and your life. Without dreams, we tend to live our life in survival mode, and just accept what life throws our way.  Often times, we don&#8217;t even choose our destiny, we allow someone else to choose it for us.  Don&#8217;t ever let that happen to you.  Be the designated driver of your own life.  Never give control over to anyone else.  They are not living your life, YOU ARE!</strong></p>
<p><strong>No matter where you are right now, there is so much more you can do to live that victorious life that you so richly deserve.  It&#8217;s time to dream big, think big, and go a few steps beyond that and expect the unexpected.  Your expectations have the ability to set the limits for your life.  If you are expecting life to be a struggle, then it will be.  Start expecting to overcome every challenge you face.  It is important to remember that through all adversity comes opportunity.  If you are willing to accept all the bad news, you may never see the opportunity that is right before you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t waste another day giving into all the bad news.  Today make the choice to rise above it all, and choose to have big dreams and live an even bigger life!</strong></p>
