- We are in a period of transition.
2021 was a year
where the only thing we could be certain of was uncertainty.
Whenever there is a crisis,
whenever there is transition,
there is opportunity.
And if you've been thinking about writing a book
or you're working on one but it's not done yet,
especially if you've been wondering
when the right time to publish might be,
then this video is for you.
(upbeat music)
Hey there, I'm Julie the book Broad.
I'm founder of a fabulous self-publishing services company
called Book Launchers.
Before I started Book Launchers in 2017,
I was a real estate investor, and I ran
a real estate investing training company in Canada.
I launched into building
that real estate investing training company in 2008.
It was a year where everything
in real estate was an absolute transition and crisis.
It was also the year that many of today's leading experts
in their industry were created,
fired, forced to quit, or just fed up with status quo.
2008 to 2010 was a pivotal period for so many people.
We have that again right now.
New voices are needed and welcomed.
New perspectives are needed.
Your ideas are being sought out.
So how will they find you?
How will you present it without a book?
Now, I know you might be thinking,
"You're right, Julie.
And I am busier than ever
because this transition has created a massive need
for my business, my service, my expertise, or whatever
so I don't have time to write a book."
Well, one of our clients runs a $50 million a year business,
and they work with one of the major corporations
in the country.
And he said,
"Working with your team has made this easy and even fun."
So if he can carve out a few hours a week
to get on the phone with us to get his book written,
so can you.
You have the time
but not the time to do it all yourself.
You need a full service support team
like we have at Book Launchers.
When you have a writer, an author concierge,
a team of professionals, and more,
you will have the time to write a book
and have it launched by the end of 2022 if you start now.
Now, you also might be thinking,
"Well, I don't think the timing is right yet."
Maybe you see the opportunity coming, but it's not here yet.
Well, let me tell you this.
A book, when you write a great book,
one that you're gonna be proud of for years,
it takes longer than you want it to take.
You need a year to write a book most of the time.
So start before you think the timing is right,
you'll thank me later.
(laughs loudly)
Now, possibly you might be thinking,
"Who am I to write a book?"
That's when your monster,
that big monster called impostor syndrome
is really loud and annoying.
(laughs loudly)
So to that, I say,
"Do you know something that other people need to know?
Do you have expertise or experience
that can make someone else's life better?"
If the answer is yes,
then the world needs you now more than ever.
In 2008, when I started coaching
other real estate investors,
I've done about 15 deals,
and I owned 12 properties with my husband.
I constantly faced this impostor syndrome feeling.
But the reality was that I was helping the person
who wanted to buy their first property.
And I had a lot of expertise with my deals.
I'd done an MBA in real estate and finance,
and my husband was a mortgage broker.
We hadn't done the most deals
or made millions and millions and millions of dollars,
but people needed our help in 2008
almost more than they ever had before.
And I can tell you that the people we helped
in 2008 to 2011 are super happy people these days
as they've enjoyed the financial benefits
of following our process to buy property, cha-ching.
(laughs loudly)
So tell your monster you don't have to be the world's best
or biggest at what you do,
you just need to have a servant's heart
and be further along the path
and the person you want to help.
Now, if you're thinking,
"Well, I don't have an agent
or a traditional publishing deal."
Well, I hope you grab a copy of my book,
"Self‑Publish & Succeed,"
because it will help you with that decision.
It will also help you set up to write a book
that will be marketable enough to attract an agent
if you still want one after you read the book.
Now, maybe you're still thinking
that you're not a good writer
or you just don't know how to write a book.
Well, we're talking nonfiction here.
You don't have to write eloquent prose
to write a great book.
Besides, that's what writing coaches and editors are for.
Or you can work with a writer to help you
from the beginning.
Basically, if you really wanna become an author,
there's a way to do it.
And as we come out of this period of crisis
and enter a period of transition,
which is how I see 2022,
a time where we transition into a new way of doing things,
thinking, being after this crisis.
You have a unique opportunity
to emerge as part of the solution,
a new and needed voice to help families torn apart,
to support the people who left their job or were fired,
to open the door to healing for people
who are suffering after all the emotional challenges
of 2020 and 2021,
or just to repair and rebuild finances for people
who lost work or were forced to take on medical debt.
I mean, the list of people who need you is long.
And I hope you consider writing your book
and publishing it in 2022 to help them.
And if you don't have the finances to work
with a company like Book Launchers,
that's why I wrote "Self‑Publish & Succeed."
And that's why I post these videos
and do our monthly deep dive training sessions.
We have a wonderful community here to support you,
whatever that looks like for your resources and needs.
Now that you're excited to write your book,
the next thing you should do is download
the seven steps to write a book that will sell
at booklaunchers.com/7steps.
And then hit up this video right here
on the seven things I wish authors knew
before they write their book
and how to hire a ghost writer right here
in case that's what you need to get rolling
with your very important book project.
Either way, let's get that book done together.
So click to the next video you need, and I'll see you there.
