I wanna talk to you today about

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

why

00:00:09 --> 00:00:09

why

00:00:10 --> 00:00:10

why

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

you would write a book.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

Now before I get into the reasons why

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

people write books, I just wanna say that

00:00:19 --> 00:00:20

writing a book takes work.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:21

It takes

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

time. It takes effort. It takes commitment, and

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

it takes resources.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:26

So

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

is the effort worth it? What is the

00:00:29 --> 00:00:29

point?

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

My name is Naima b Robert. I'm an

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

award winning author of almost 30 books for

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

children, teens, and adults, and I'm also a

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

book coach. And I am on a mission

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

to help

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

222

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

Muslima

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

authors

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

celebrate their books by the end of this

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

year. So

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

why would you write a book? Let's get

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

into it. These are some of the reasons

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

that many of my clients and the women

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

I've spoken to

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

choose to embark on this journey.

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

And the first is that

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

they feel, in fact they know that they

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

have an important

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

and inspiring

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

story to tell.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

That story could be about their life, it

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

could be about the life of a loved

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

one, it could be the about the life

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

of an organization.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

Whatever the story is, they know that this

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

is an important story, an inspiring story. And

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

so that's what the book is. It's to

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

tell the story.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

Other clients are more interested in spreading a

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

message or championing a cause.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

Something that they believe in, something they've dedicated

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

their life to, something they want to share

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

with the world and be part of the

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

change that they want to see,

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

they know that a book is one of

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

the best ways to get that message out

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

there.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

Then I have clients who want to share

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

their expertise

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

or their principles

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

or their systems

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

with clients and potential clients and the world

00:01:52 --> 00:01:52

at large.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

These are often coaches or experts in their

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

field, and they know that they can reach

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

so many more people if they share their

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

secret sauce in a book.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

And for those who are interested in writing

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

a book for that reason,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

they also know that this type of book

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

will build their brand,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

will establish their authority and credibility,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

and open up the door to so many

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

more opportunities.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

Whether that's speaking, whether it's coaching, whether it's,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

you know, traveling the world to share that

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

message, or just attracting new clients.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

They know that a book is one of

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

the best ways to position yourself as an

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

expert in your field.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

But, essentially,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

whether

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

my clients and the women I speak to,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

and maybe even you, want to write a

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

book to tell a story,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

to spread a message, or to share your

00:02:44 --> 00:02:44

knowledge.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

At the end of the day,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

we all know that this is part of

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

our legacy.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

This is why

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

every one of those clients and every one

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

of the women that I speak to, no

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

matter what their other reasons

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

are, this is the reason why

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

they decide that it's worth the time,

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

the effort, and the resources

00:03:11 --> 00:03:11

will

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

touch the lives of people they will never

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

see, people they will never meet. And insha'Allah,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

with the right intention and the right content

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

could be a source of sadaqa jariyah for

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

every one of them inshallah. So

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

these are some of the reasons why,

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

the women I've spoken to and my clients

00:03:31 --> 00:03:34

decide to write a book. So I'm curious,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

why

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

are you interested in writing a book? Could

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

you potentially write a book?

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

I very, very much hope that this little

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

video has given you some food for thought.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

of more women

for listening.
