Naima B. Robert – Write your book! Tips and advice on gaining confidence and achieving your goals

Salam aleikum. This is your sister Nyima B. Robert, here, award

winning author of almost 30 books for children, teens and adults,

and happened to boy be a book coach. And being a book coach

means that I help women just like you to get the clarity that they

need to develop the confidence that they need to communicate

their story, message or knowledge. And one of the things that I have

said many times in my coaching sessions to my ladies, is that

whenever you're embarking on a project, whether it's writing this

book or doing anything else, those who succeed are those who do not

give up. It's as if when you take on a task, when you take on a

challenge, it's as if you've stepped into the arena, right?

Whether it's a boxing ring, whether you think of it as a

gladiator ring, you stepped into the arena Brene Brown talks about

this, you've decided to take on the challenges in order to achieve

your goal, whatever that outcome is that you are aiming for right

now, while you're in that ring, that boxing ring, the gladiator

ring, the pit of fire, whatever it is, while you are working towards

that goal, you are going to meet setbacks, you are going to have

failures, you're going to make mistakes. Now, when I'm coaching,

I always ask my clients to reframe all of the scenarios. So a setback

is merely a setup for a comeback. A failure is not a failure. It's

merely feedback. But the point is that those who succeed in the end

are the ones who stay in the arena. So they don't get knocked

off the horse and walk out. They don't get knocked to the ground,

and then stay down and get dragged off. They stay in the arena, they

stay connected to their dream, they stay connected to their

mission, they stay connected to their goal. And after they've

taken a bit of time to process and understand what happened and get

back on their feet. They get back on that horse, they pick up the

sword again, they put their hands up and get ready to fight again.

If you can do that, with your book, or any other project you're

working on, and you stay in the arena and you keep fighting and

you never give up, you will achieve your goal. Now I've had

sisters in my program who've written their book in three weeks.

It's a 90 day program. But one sister wrote her book in three

weeks. I have another client who took two years to get her memoir

out. But her book launches in a couple of months time. And there

is no way that she would be planning a book launch if she had

left the arena when she missed her deadline when she had health

issues. And she couldn't continue. If she had given up. She wouldn't

be where she is today. So I hope that this is beneficial to you in

some way with regard to any project that you're working on.

And if you wanted to work on a book or you're working on a book,

I would love to help you. I'm on a mission to help create 222 Muslim

authors this year, I have assembled an amazing team to

support these women to help them get clarity to develop the

confidence to communicate their story, message or knowledge with
