We recommend that you write out everything you know about a subject before you start researching the subject. Just sit down and write it. This approach allows for original thinking and breakthrough ideas.

Write what you know. Surely you have a signature story that you frequently tell to the delight of listeners. Use that to get your mental juices flowing.

To put yourself in a mental state to write, you may take on the persona of your favorite great writer and tap into vibrations of their energy or you could listen to music that nourishes your creativity. We all love Pachelbel's Canon in D which allows us to write for hours on end.

Don't try to be perfect. Remember, nobody ever publishes their first draft! A good editor can fix just about anything other than the fact that you haven't written it yet, so sit down and get started.

Take Bite Size Chunks
Our friend Bob Proctor, a phenomenal, must-hear speaker and author, once had a woman in his audience say, "I want to write a book, but I don't have time, because I'm married, with four kids and a husband and a job to go to every day."

Bob said, "Here is how you do it. Write one minute every day. That is a page a day, or 250 words. In one year, you will have written 365 pages. Edit it and you will have finished a book.

She did not take Bob's advice, but he did! Bob wrote his first book, "Born Rich". Bob which has sold millions of copies worldwide, and continues 25 years later to be a self-promoted and self-published bestseller.

Robert G. Allen says, "Every word I write is worth $20. Therefore, my daily writing goal is 1,000 words. The fact that I know I will be exceedingly well paid for my words keeps me disciplined and writing. If I think I want to watch TV but I have not written today, I go to my computer and write."

Mark has coauthored multiple bestsellers with Bob Allen-who, by the way, takes practically-impossible-to-comprehend financial information and makes it easy for the masses to understand and employ. Bob is a millionaire maker.

Can you write yourself rich? That is up to you, your dedication, and your passionate purposefulness.
