00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			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
			And if you would like to dig and
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			find out more about
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			your own ideas about your book and what
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			it is that you actually want to do
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			with it, then I encourage you to download

			try you're thinking of writing right now. So

			just download
