May be you have a book idea gathering cobwebs in your mind.
Or may be you even have a full manuscript gathering dust in your drawer.
Unlike James Clear who’s Atomic Habits has sold 25m + copies, you’re scared to death to publish.
You’re scared to be found out as an imposter, a fake and a fraud.
It happened to me too.
After writing 80% of Bridges I left it in my drawer for close to five years.
I was scared Harvard Business Review had not validated my ideas.
Unlike Tom Peters, I’d not written for HBR and The Economist.
I laughed at my ideas.
After two of my colleagues gave the book thumbs down, I surrendered.
I took 7 hours flight (covering 11,300 km) to Calgary, Canada, to seek for an answer.
The Author House book acquisition expert asked me 2 questions:
How far have you gone?
(Answer: 80%)
Can you complete it and send to me?
Answer: Yes
That’s it.
That’s how Bridges to the Customer’s Heart rose from the dead.
It took a word of encouragement from someone who knows what would-be authors go through.
If you’re doubting yourself, you’re not alone.
Imposter syndrome, feeling that you’re not qualified enough, self-doubt, you name it.
But here’s what you must understand:
Only you know the worth of your idea.
If you believe your idea is worthless, you don’t need anyone else to prove you wrong.
If you believe you’re entitled to your idea, move gingerly and share it with the whole world.
Today my fans call Bridges to the Customer’s Heart ‘The Customer Service Bible’.
It has sold more than 5,000 copies.
Bridges has opened doors to opportunities I never could have imagined.
What is stopping you from sharing your idea with the world?
I created a cohort-based system (lasts 4 days) to help you write a book in as little as 16 weeks.
