			Hi there. This is Naima B Robert here,
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			award winning author,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			speaker and coach.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			I help
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			women just like you
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			go from idea,
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			message,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			story,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			all the way to a published book And
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			I'm really here to give
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19
			a very
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			strong message
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			to every woman out there
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			who made a decision
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			that 2020
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			would be the year
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			that she finally
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			wrote and put her book out into the
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			world.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Now if that's you, stick around because I
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			am going to be going deep into this
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			thing. If it's not you, feel free to
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			move along. But all of you ladies who
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			have a story on your heart, who have
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			a message that you want to share, who
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			have been thinking of writing a book,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			Let me speak directly to you.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			Because if you found
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			that you have slowed down on that dream
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			or that you've kind of shelved that dream
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			for now due to the current climate that
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			we're in,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			I wanna talk directly to you.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			So please lend me your ears.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			Let's really get to the bottom of what
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			is going on here and what needs to
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			happen
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			for
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			you to maintain your focus and achieve your
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:19
			dream.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			Okay. So
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			as we know, the world is in a
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			state of flux
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			and you're probably feeling the effects just like
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			I am.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			But I want to invite you to consider
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			that
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			everything in life
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			can be reframed.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			And so if you are at home, whether
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			you're working from home or whether you are
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			just staying indoors,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			whether you have children at home or not.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			I invite you to make a
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			really crucial
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			mindset
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			shift,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			so that you don't end up giving up
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			on your dream and not achieving it this
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			year. And that mindset shift is this,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			choose the frame of opportunity
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			to look at your current situation.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			Look for what could be
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			amazing about your current situation. What could be
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			good? What could be meaningful?
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			What is the lesson that you need to
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			take from this time? If you're like most
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			people, you probably have just a bit more
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			time on your hands
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			than you ever did before.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			For us writers,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			that is a golden opportunity.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			Time spent at home,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			time spent,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			you know, within the confines of your walls,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			you know, without the kind of the coming
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			and going and the buzz of a social
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			life,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			that is
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			perfect
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			scenarios
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			for us as writers.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			For those of us who want some time
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			to be focused and be able to put
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			pen to paper or put your fingers to
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:56
			keyboards and actually start working on our books.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			So the first thing I would say is
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			focus on
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			reframing this
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			as an opportunity for you to be able
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			to achieve your dream.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			The other thing is focus on what you
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			can control.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			We can't control world events, but we can
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			control our headspace
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			and we can control pretty much how we
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			spend our day and what we invest our
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			time and resources in.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			And then the third thing that I would
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:22
			say is
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:23
			recommit
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			to your why.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			Why did you want to write this book?
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			Why did you have this dream in the
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			1st place?
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			What is the deeper meaning? What's the higher
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:35
			purpose?
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			Recommit to that.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			I don't have to tell you
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			how a book
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			works.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			I don't have to tell you that writing
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			a book shows and putting it out there
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			into the world, not just writing it, but
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			putting it out there into the world shows
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			that you are ready to lead, ready to
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			be seen,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			ready to take your place, to create a
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:56
			legacy.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			So go back to that, recommit to that.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			And those are the 3 mindset shifts that
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			I would like you to really
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			put some effort into making so that you're
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			able to take up the opportunity
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			that we've been given right now and make
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			it happen for your book.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			I am working with a group of women
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			who will be writing their books while they're
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:20
			on
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			lockdown. Over the next 90 days I and
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			my team will be taking them all the
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			way from their idea, their raw idea to
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			manuscript, a full manuscript.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			And if that sounds like something that you
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			would want to do,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			if you want to work with us, get
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			my support with your book idea, your market,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			your target, your content, your outline, and get
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			our support and accountability to actually finish the
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			book, then please comment with committed
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			down below or send me an email with
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			committed and let's have a chat.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			Until the next time, I bid you all
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			to be safe, be stay safe, stay sane
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			and stay committed to your dream. Take care.
