When I’m out networking a lot of people ask me – “Can I write a book?”. They don’t worry about the time that it will take them, they worry about whether they can write, whether their English is good enough and if will people read it. It is their own fear of inadequacy that is holding them back from writing a book.

You don’t need to worry. You can write if you have a voice. My blog will help give you some of the answers.

When I first published Kick Ass Your Life, I was astounded at how much benefit a book had in my business. You should consider writing a book for your business. The simple fact is that you have the knowledge and know what to write but the question you are really asking is, “I don’t know how to write a book.”
My latest blog shows you why.
https://www.forwardthinkingpublishing.com/2022/07/20/why-your-book-is-your-first-and-most-important-tool-for-your-business/

With a traditional publisher your book may have a ”shelf life” of only a couple of months before something else replaces it in the book shop.
One of the big benefits of self-publishing is that it gives your book a longer time to find its audience. This can be especially important for newer writers who the readers haven’t found yet.
