Hey there. Naima B. Robert here.
Author, editor and coach to women like you,
who have an idea and want to take
that idea all the way to a published
book.
The strategy I'd like to share with you
today is about your dream.
And I know that for some of us
it's difficult to dream in these times
because we feel like this is not a
time for dreaming, this is a time to
to survive. We're in survival mode right now.
Well, I'm here to tell you that that's
a choice unless unless
you yourself are on the front line or
you have a family member or you yourself
are ill or directly affected
by the coronavirus,
then I invite you
to see
the opportunity in your situation for you to
be able to focus on building something for
your future.
If the only thing that you have to
deal with right now is the inconvenience
of staying at home, having children at home
and not being able to go out as
freely and travel, etcetera,
then I just want to bring you back.
Okay. Bring you back to, to, to, to
purpose.
You have an opportunity.
You've been given the gift of time
that you may never be given again.
I'm gonna say that again. You've been given
a gift right now
that you may never be given again.
And so right now is not the time
to survive.
It's not the time to be in fear
or contraction.
Now is the time for those of us
who have a message on our heart. For
those of us who have a calling, for
those of us who know we have a
responsibility
to share our story,
it is time for us to
plug back into our dream, to recommit and
reframe our situations
and focus on building something for the future.
So
the strategy I'm going to share with you
today is to
refocus
on your dream,
on
what
this book
means.
What
could be possible
once your book is out in the world?
Is it,
what is it about
putting the book out that juices you, that
makes you excited,
that makes you kind of amps you up
and gets you, you know, gets you gets
you excited about the book again?
Is it touching people?
Is it getting to speak to more people,
getting to share your story with more people?
Is it helping others transform?
Is
it opening doors of opportunity for you?
And the thing is, I know that it's
hard for some of us to even conceive
of doors of opportunity opening because we think,
well, you know, I was hoping that when
I wrote my book, you know, I would
get hopefully, you know, maybe more clients, you
know.
Maybe be invited to speak and get a
chance to to travel, etcetera.
And we're just looking at situation now and
we're like, Oh, well that's not gonna happen.
Believe me when I say
this too shall pass.
And so wouldn't you rather come out of
this crisis
with your book in your hand,
ready for those opportunities,
ready for those clients, ready for the audiences,
ready for the readers
than to spend the whole time in fear
and contraction,
achieving nothing
and come out of the crisis empty handed
with nothing to offer anyone. Least of all
yourself.
So plug back into what does the success
mean? What does success look like to you?
What is it you wanted to achieve with
this book?
What will it, what will it feel like?
Who will you be able to help? Who
will you be able, whose lives will you
be able to transform, to touch, to who
will you be able to move, to educate,
to lead.
Recommit
to those people,
whether they are your readers, your audience,
clients, audiences, whatever
recommit to them.
Because trust me, there are people out there
who are waiting for you to stand up.
The world is not simply not served by
you playing small. Even now the world is
looking for leaders even now, even more so
now.
So if you know that
you want to be one of those people
that leads,
that, that, that is a voice
that amplifies,
then recommit to that.
And if you want my help and you'd
like to work with me to get you
from idea
all the way to
ready to publish manuscript, you know, get your
manuscript done
in these 90 days,
then comment I'm committed below. Send me an
email with uncommitted and let's have a chat
to see if we're a fit.
I know that I am going to help
a group of women change makers
that are going to harness the power
that they have taken for themselves
in this crisis.
And those women are going to take that
power and they're going to use it as
a force for good. And those women, they're
coming out of this lockdown with their book
in their hand. They are already making amazing
progress. They're on fire.
And the reason that they're on fire and
they're excited and they're committed and they are
making
progress
is because they are in an environment where
we believe in them. We believe it's possible.
We know what we're doing. We know how
to help them. We know how to help
them get unstuck. We know how to help
them get them back on purpose. We know
how to do this. I myself have written
over 25 books. So I know this and
that certainty and that confidence
is rubbing off on these women
and they're on fire. So I can't wait
to share their stories with you. I will
be sharing clients' stories over the coming weeks,
but I can't wait to share their stories
with you. But more importantly, I want to
be able to share your
story. So comment below or get in touch
with me. However you wherever you see this,
send me a DM, send me a PM,
send me an email, do whatever you need
to do.
If you know that you want to be
one of those women who works with me
to make your dream of writing a book
come true, because the time is now.
I hope to see you on the other
side.
Stay safe, stay sane and stay committed to
your dream. Next time. Toodles.
