Notes from James:I've written 25 books—some huge hits, some total flops—and what I've learned is this: anyone can write a book, but not everyone gives themselves permission to start. This episode is the foundation. I break down the mindset, motivation, and structure you need to go from blank page to published book—even if you've never written a word before.So you want to write a book. Where do you even start? In this kickoff to my new series on writing and publishing a book in just 30 days, I walk you through everything you need to know before you ever touch the keyboard.This episode isn't just for aspiring authors—it's for anyone who's ever wanted to turn an idea into something real, something lasting, and maybe even something that launches a new career. I'll tell you exactly why writing a book is more important (and more achievable) than ever, and how your book can become a business card, a personal legacy, and a gateway to new opportunities—even if you're not a “writer.”I also introduce the one structure that every great story (fiction or nonfiction) follows: the arc of the hero. It's the single most powerful tool for crafting stories that actually move people.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/JAMES and get on your way to being your best self.What You'll Learn:The real reasons to write a book (none of them involve fame)Why books have a longer shelf life—and career impact—than blog posts or social mediaThe 3 essential questions to ask before you start writing: “Who are you? Why are you? Why now?”Why your first draft should be messy—and why that's a good thingThe biggest myths that stop new writers (and how to ignore them)How the arc of the hero applies to everything—from Star Wars to tweetsTimestamps00:00 Introduction: The Power of Writing a Book00:37 Why Write a Book?01:18 My Journey as an Author03:39 The Importance of Knowing Your 'Why'08:46 Common Myths About Writing15:39 The Arc of the Hero in Storytelling19:35 Star Wars: A Hero's Journey22:17 The Timeless Tale of Moses28:16 Walt Disney's Heroic Arc32:52 The Arc of the Hero in Nonfiction35:25 Romance Novels: Love's Heroic JourneyP.S.

A conversation with Bracha Poliakoff, co-author of the groundbreaking book Reclaiming Dignity, exploring the deep, spiritual meaning of Tzniut in Judaism. Far from being just a dress code, this episode explores Tzniut as a powerful expression of dignity, internality, and self-respect for both men and women. We discuss halachic sources, misconceptions around modesty, and why more is not always better in this sensitive and central Jewish value.Bracha Poliakoff, LCSW-C, is a licensed clinical social worker, speaker, and writer. She currently serves as the founder and director of continuing education at Bright Ideas Continuing Education, providing high-quality programs for mental health professionals in the United States and Canada. Bracha has a strong commitment to Jewish education, having taught Torah to high schoolers and adults in various settings, founded a number of Jewish learning initiatives, and co-authoring Reclaiming Dignity: A Guide to Tzniut for Men and Women. As a passionate member of the Orthodox community, she actively gives back and makes a difference, including serving on the boards of Keneseth Beth Israel (Richmond, VA) and the Women's Institute of Torah/Mesorah Baltimore (Baltimore, MD). Bracha is also committed to personal and professional development, having participated in The Associated's Young Leadership Council, Orthodox Union's Women's Initiative Leadership Summit, and the Orthodox Leadership Project.

What is the secret to consistently delivering high-quality work, day in and day out...Recently, I was chatting with my neighbours who run a bespoke interior design and manufacturing business.They make truly stunning, customised pieces for the upper market.It's easy to think their success hinges on exceptional craftsmanship, which is surely part of it.But what really keeps their business running smoothly is something far more fundamental.In my conversation with them, we agreed that most of it comes down to things like having the right supplies available, making sure everything in its place so it can be found quickly, that tools in tip-top shape, and even something as simple as having lunch prepared so you don't have to worry about it.These basic and somewhat "boring" conditions, are what enable them to deliver consistently high-quality work. Without them, production would be a slog, quality would be all over the map, and let's face it, they probably wouldn't be in business for very long.We often take these kinds of conditions for granted. When things are running like a well-oiled machine, we assume that's just how it's supposed to be.But you, as a service design professional, know that the conditions for delivering your best work are often far from guaranteed.In fact, it can often feel like your organization is actively making your job harder, not easier.This brings us to the question: What would it take to create the ideal conditions for service design to achieve its maximum impact? And how can we actually put those conditions in place?Well, as you might have guessed already, that's where Design Operations (aka DesignOps) comes in.Getting started with DesignOps (or scaling it) can be a real challenge, especially in organizations that don't have a strong design heritage.But the good news is that John Calhoun and Rachel Posman have done the heavy lifting for us. They've gathered best practices from experienced DesignOps professionals and compiled them into a brand-new book "The Design Conductors".This book promises to help you kickstart or scale your DesignOps efforts more effectively, make a bigger impact, and sidestep common pitfalls. The result? Making your life as a service design professional a whole lot easier!So, with this foresight, we of course need to know more about this book.And you guessed it, that's exactly what this episode is all about.Here's already one key insight from the conversation: Every organization is already doing design operations. Most are just doing it unconsciously and missing out on the benefits. Yeah, there's a lot of low-hanging fruit waiting to be picked...--- [ 1.

Notes from James:Here's the truth: if my great-great-great grandfather had written anything—just 10 pages about his daily life—I'd treasure it like gold. And I promise, your great-grandkids will feel the same about your story.You don't need to be a celebrity to write something that matters. You just need to be honest. Whether you're sharing how you survived grief, learned to say no, built new habits, or rebuilt your life after failure—your story could help someone else. And it could help you just as much.Episode Description:In this part one of a two-part episode, I walk you through the frameworks I've used in books like Choose Yourself and The Power of No, and show you how other authors—AJ Jacobs, Annie Duke, Susan Cain—infused autobiography into books that went on to change people's lives.I also break down the different types of autobiographical books—from traditional memoirs and mini-memoirs, to autobiographical fiction and nonfiction hybrids—and I explain how bestselling books like Atomic Habits, The Puzzler, and Man's Search for Meaning are all, at heart, autobiographies.This episode is part motivation, part masterclass in storytelling, and part therapy. If you've been sitting on a life story, this is the sign you've been waiting for.Oh, and yes, I'll even give you writing prompts and reflection questions to help you actually start.I also created a book-writing course: How to write and publish a book in 30 days.If this episode gets you thinking, share it with someone who has a story to tell.What You'll Learn: Why writing a memoir isn't about being famous—it's about being authentic How to turn life events, trauma, and setbacks into powerful narrative fuel The 5+ major types of autobiographical books (and how to pick yours) Why adding personal stories makes your writing more marketable, memorable, and meaningful The exact questions to ask yourself before you start writingTime Stamps00:00 Why Write an Autobiography?00:47 The Value of Personal History02:46 Memoirs and Mini Memoirs10:21 AI and Autobiographical Writing17:14 Unique Perspectives and Philosophies21:07 Opportunities Through Writing28:03 Defining Your Mission and Purpose30:22 Reflecting on Life's Important Events38:52 Overcoming Adversity and Difficult Situations45:16 Crafting Your Unique AutobiographyAdditional ResourcesHow to write and publish a book in 30 days.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Your Writing Coach Podcast Season 02 Episode 14 Can a ghostwriter edit your book? Have you thought about hiring a ghostwriter to work with you on your first or next book but you're not sure how much they charge or how to hire a ghostwriter? The services that ghostwriters can offer and what they charge for their services vary greatly from writer to writer. You'll need to do your homework to learn if they require time contracts, forms of payments they will take, and how fast they can finish your book. Find out what you need to consider when you hire a ghostwriter and how ghostwriters typically charge for their work writing your book. Who Should Write a Book? While anyone can author a book, the verticals that benefit most from becoming an author are entrepreneurs, speakers, and business owners who want to be seen as an authority in their field. Having a book published in your name is a great way to expand the reach of your marketing campaign, give you the ability to receive higher-paid speaking gigs, and increase the number of touchpoints to obtain new clients. You can also write a book as a personal goal to fulfill your own bucket list item and to have an accomplishment that puts you in the top 1% of people in the world. Why Write a Book? There are many reasons why authors write books! Some authors want to be seen as an expert in their field, and others want to inspire with their passion. Another reason for writing a book is to educate your clients or build your client base with a published book. No matter the reason for writing your book, having “author” as part of your bio is a lifetime achievement and a fantastic goal to achieve. Not only does it show your network and your tribe that you're serious about your work, purpose, or business, becoming an author gives you a higher level of authority in your field. The Job of a Ghostwriter The job of a ghost is to write your book, and if you hire them for other services, to complete those other services too. While not all writers are ghostwriters, a good ghostwriter who has excellent ghostwriting skills takes practice and an ability to communicate well with the client. Hiring a ghostwriter is a great way to take the pressure of writing a book away from you and onto the ghostwriter's plate who can provide your book in a timely manner - many times on a much better timeline than if you were to write your book yourself.

The unsaved are intensely curious about 'the other side' and go to great lengths to find out. However, at the same time, they suppress the one and only truth about it, Jesus and His holy heaven. Today I remind listeners of the fact that the pagans prefer the creation instead of the creator, but we can offer knowledge of their other side in truth, by calling them to repentance and then they will know and understand these matters.

Why Write The reason I write goes way back to my childhood. My earliest memories are of my mother reading to me. When I could read on my own, I devoured the Hardy Boys series. When I was about ten, when my reading material was getting low, I'd take the bus from our house to Kensington used bookstore. I graduated from the Hardy Boys to Ellery Queen, Earl Stanley Gardner, and Agatha Christie. In high school, I loved writing reports in social studies class and in English class I wrote satire. Saturday Night Live stuff, except this was before SNL! Then career got in the way, but I co-authored four paramedic textbooks. In 2010, I was going through a major life change. One morning in October, I was showering and had an epiphany. I needed to write fiction. I Googled writing classes and one started the next week. The first piece I wrote and submitted to the instructor and classmates, everyone liked. For the next four years, I took writing classes pretty much non-stop. There was one point where I received feedback that devastated me. After giving a great pitch, I was asked to submit the CRISIS POINT manuscript. I excitedly opened the email with the review. The primary comment was, “It's like a police show is on the TV in the other room, and I don't care.” I set the manuscript aside for about three months. Thankfully, I signed up for another writing class and set to improving the novel. In 2015, I submitted CRISIS POINT to the Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis awards for the best-unpublished novel. Then my name was called as a finalist. There is no other word. I was Gobsmacked! Instead of wine, I celebrated with Whisky! I attended the Crime Writers of Canada Awards in Toronto at the end of May. It was like the Academy Awards of Writing. I didn't win the award, and I was disappointed. But heck, making the finals was great. As she was leaving, the agent gave me her card and asked for my manuscript. I received thirty-seven responses—rejections. That was a gut punch. By now I had spent almost seven years on Crisis Point. I also admit that my biological writing clock was ticking. In April 2018, CRISIS POINT was launched and was a best seller in Calgary. There is immense satisfaction in holding your novel in print for the first time. OUTLAWMC launched in March 2019. Wolfman is Back launched in November 2019. SPEARGRASS—OPIOID launched in September 2020. Novels five and six are written. 13 DAYS OF TERROR will launch in November 2020 and Goddess of Justice in March 2021. Today, October 13, 2020, I am halfway through writing my seventh novel and 10,000 words into my eighth. I admit to being obsessed. I write every day. When I started writing in 2010, it was a struggle to write 500 words in a day. Now, 2500-3000 in a day is not unusual, and I have had days of over 6,000 words. I have a schedule with my editor until the end of 2023. The deadlines are important to keep me on track. FIND DWAYNE: dwayneclayden@mail.com www.

Aren’t we all finding ourselves a little out of sorts as we start the 2020 school year together? Whether you are doing hybrid school a couple of days a week, virtual learning, homeschooling completely, or sending your children to school 5 days a week in a mask, all of our schooling looks a little different this year. As a homeschool mom, going into my 6th year of homeschooling, per my choice, I thought I’d share five tips that have helped me along the way in hopes of encouraging you in this new unknown season. Understand your Why/Write that Mantra- Figure out your mantra. Mine will look completely different from yours but it will remind you day in and out why you made this choice [4:03] Forget the idea that your home is the standard classroom- This isn’t a typical classroom. This isn’t the typical year. This is now your classroom. Learn to adapt to what works best for your kids and give yourself immense grace. [8:43] Give yourself a space- We all need that “space” so clutter doesn’t accumulate. You may not have a designated classroom in your home but create a zone for materials. If that’s a corner of the living room, a tabletop in the laundry room, or a full-on extra bedroom turned classroom, make yourself a space to keep the items you’ll use. [11:22] Take Time to Listen- Take the time to listen and notice what your kids are drawn to. Recognizing interests and qualities in your children unique to themselves, pushing them gently toward those, and feeding their natural born gifts and talents may indeed guide them into their purpose way before they have to go through the drudgery of life trying to discover it. [14:08] Plan - I know this kind of goes against the student led free spirit adapt to the day talk that I mentioned above, but you know yourself and what works best for you. Everyone’s plan will look differently this year. Plan your expectations and be ok with disappointment. Go with your gut always and don’t forget you aren’t alone. [18:13] Here is to the 2020 school year momma’s. May it be different in the most amazing way, may it be enlightening, may it be a time you learn things you never knew about your children, may it be a time of self-discovery, and may we see how amazing an unplanned year can really be. Happy teaching!

Download this episode to your computer Seth Hanes - Leveraging His Book to Create Authority Seth Hanes is the author of the book, Break into the Scene: A Musician's Guide to Making Connections, Creating Opportunities, and Launching a Career Seth is a classically trained musician who graduated from the Music School of Philadelphia. Today, he shares with us his thought process behind writing his book, his goal for writing a book, and how he leveraged his book to get more opportunities and help more people in the process. [03:35] Why Write a Book Seth has long been thinking about starting a book while at music school. His biggest issue with the music world is the tremendous lack of practical training for musicians, specifically how they can monetize their skill sets. Like many creative types, schools teach students a hyper-specific way of doing things and how to approach their craft. But they're taught little to nothing about how to go out into the world and turn that into a career. His book, Break into the Scene came out when he was trying to solve his own problems. Having read some books as well as some online courses and worked with business coaches, he tried to figure out how to go about turning his skill set into a money-making machine. And he found the striking lack of good resources on this topic out there. Hence, he decided to create something he wished he had access to when he was getting started. It practically took him four years from when this idea was conceived until he finally at down to write it. He knew that if he had to be successful at this, he had to take the time and invest his time, energy, and resources to make it happen. [07:10] Finding the Right Angle for the Niche Seth explains the book was written to be a how-to guide for people, specifically for musicians. The goal is to give them a quick result through equipping them with tools they need to be successful after reading it. What he found intimidating with other similar books is that they're mostly written by university professors. But he felt they lack the rawness of their own story. So he wanted to take a different approach with this. This said, he did have some share of the impostor's syndrome where he doubted himself, which he had to deal with for years and which he considers to be the biggest hangup. But what actually helped him grow his confidence was when he started a blog. He wanted something in a how-to format, presenting really raw, tactical advice musicians could use in specific situations they may find themselves in. He was like creating a little playground for himself where he could test out these ideas - see what works, see what didn't and what was resonating with people. And this was how he approached the ideation of the book, which was a long process to figure things out. By writing his blog to overcome his impostor's syndrome, he saw how his audience was reading it and people were getting results. Then he knew he was ready to write a book and all he needed now was to get a game plan to do it. [10:45] The Impostor's Syndrome and How It Impacts Your Confidence Azul focuses the discussion a bit on the the impostor's syndrome which is pretty important considering it's probably one of the major reasons people don't take action to begin with. It's that feeling that you don't deserve it or that you're not going to be able to do well or write as well as somebody else. In fact, he thinks the testing that Seth did was to figure out if things were going to work before he invested his time and effort. Seth admits there were many years of procrastination between the point of thinking about it and actually doing it. Azul confirms that while working with Seth, it wasn't that he didn't have the knowledge, but he didn't have the confidence to know that it would resonate with the world. What was in his head was all his ideas spread across different places (blog, interviews) and now he had to bring it all together to have that flow. And this gave him clarity. [12:10] Writing In Your Own Style, Your Own Voice Seth was also initially concerned about not being grammatically correct but it's how he talks. However, this does resonate with actual artists even if they may not resonate with those in the academic world. Eventually, they would see how people are getting results from it anyway. Seth has spoken at big universities and one of his goals was to use this as a tool to get himself out there further. He is specific about how he writes and presents his ideas. he thinks one of the ideas people struggle with is they try to sound like other people when they write and it just doesn't land. Seth is a very casual guy and doesn't want to get into the formality of things. So this is something he wanted to reflect in the book itself. He would normally write line by line and not in full paragraphs. And that's just how he writes. Some people don't like that and he's fine with that. But for him, this was how he knew he'd be able to write it and share it so he just had to stick to his guns with it. Seth adds that anybody who reads his stuff can immediately identify what he writes because of his distinct voice and style. Part of that comes from ignoring some of the conventional advice about writing and presenting ideas. Again, this can easily be tied into the impostor's syndrome. Azul stresses the fact that there is no right way to do any of this. Just remember that there is somebody consuming it. It's not for you, but there's that style of yours. And people will get to know you and appreciate you and like you, or not. [15:55] Writing the First Draft is a Sprint Seth struggled with getting the initial idea out on the page. So he started out a mind map where he those idea placed on some cards. And he points out one of the biggest things for him which was that he didn't want to start unless he's doing it the right way. People can tend to be perfectionists but you have to get past that. And for Seth, this was a really big mental shift for him. Just getting that first draft done and out was really a mental barrier for him. Azul gives a great analogy of writing the first draft as a sprint. He encourages people to make this into a sprint rather than taking your time and working on it for several months, or worse, even years. He says this is the worst thing you can do because you grow and change as a person. Your ideas change. If you wait that long, you're going to want to change the book every three or four months. Hence, it's important to sprint. Azul recommends reading Bird by Bird. It's counter-intuitive to what's being taught in schools where you need to edit while you go. And he explains this is the worst thing you can do because there are two different processes. One is the creative side while the other is a filter for editing things out. Unfortunately, a lot of people never get to finish it because it's not perfect yet. The first draft is supposed to be messy and ugly. And if you believe that, then you're doing perfectly well. Then there's that aspect of having multiple editors since you need a lot of eyes on it. [20:30] Putting It Out on Amazon and Marketing the Book The day of the release finally came and Seth vividly remembers it. He thinks people need to understand what they're trying to accomplish with a book. For some people, it may be to sell thousands of copies and make money. For others, it may just be to share ideas with people. For Seth, his goal was to get it in front as many musicians as possible knowing this is something valuable to people. The day it launched, he was so relieved that it went successfully. Talk about debuting at #1 and #3 for an Amazon category. And up to this day, it still sells every month and he still gets a check from Amazon. He still gets to receive emails from readers from around the world who are using the material. A year later, people are still writing him and writing about it. He has seen people taking pictures of it on Instagram and tweet about it. They send him messages on social media. He could say this was one of the most satisfying things he has ever done. It wasn't that he was selling so much but it was that knowing it was out in the world and that he accomplished this thing and it was doing what it was intended to do was what was really satisfying for him. Seth did a whole big launch and went out to various podcasts. He did guest-post on different sites. He built up his own site and he had his own audience and email list that he built up. So he used all these assets he had built to make his book marketing success. Moreover, he has always wanted to do more speaking and he was able to do this because of the book's success. He has gotten a lot of consulting clients from people who read the book or heard him on the podcast. [23:20] Standing Out in a Crowd Seth just started working at a digital marketing agency. and he believes the book was a big part of him standing out from the crowd. He has a music degree and a self-taught marketer with zero formal training. So it's hard to stand out in crowd of people with MBA and business degrees. What he has instead, is raw skill set that he has developed over the years out of doing it over and over again. And he was able to demonstrate this by doing things like marketing his book and getting clients and building his own business from it. So for him, the book was hugely instrumental in all of those things. And he's very proud to have created it. In fact, when he went in for his interview for his current role, he saw his book on the shelf. Azul says it's a pretty strong "calling card" for his ability to produce results. It's right there on your future employer's office. It doesn't get any better than that! Seth recounts how this happened. He reached out to this agency, applied online, and got rejected immediately. So he put together this whole presentation and a website along with a bunch of ideas and he sent them to the founder of the company. He eventually got his foot in the door by tweeting the founder at the company. It was a long and rigorous process that he didn't get the job. A couple of months later, he went back to some of the people he knew who work there and reached out to them thru email. So he got invited in and when he got in the office, he saw his book sitting on the shelf. So by then, he was able to leave a pretty good impression. [27:30] Leveraging His Book to Create Authority Azul outlines how Seth has leveraged the book to help him get more opportunities. You need to understand that it's not the book itself. But if you want to be a writer, then make it a living as a writer and you'd have to be writing more books and that's where the money will come. On the other hand, if you're using it as a way to grow as a person or grow your influence or your opportunity, then a book is a great way to do it. It's a great feeling just knowing you're helping other people get to where you were when you first started out and then watching them grow and their success in whatever field you're writing about. And Seth adds you really don't have to write hundreds of pages. For example, he ordered the book Love Yourself by Kamal Ravikant and he laughed at how short it was. It was about 40-50 pages with little blurbs in it just formatted in the book. But he sold tens of thousands of copies. So you can't really get hang up on the preconceptions of what a book actually is and that you have to do it in a certain way because it's not true. That being said, you'd have to get past the assumptions of what a book really is which can serve as a big mental block for people. [30:55] Self-Publishing versus Traditional Publication While there were times he was thinking of approaching traditional publishing and reworking some of the book, but he doesn't personally see the value from doing it. He thinks that anything they're going to do, he can probably do better on his own considering it's just a small niche. So he really doesn't see any financial incentive going down the traditional publishing route. He just sees it as something that made sense so he decided not to pursue it. Nevertheless, it's a matter of persona preference and the space that you're writing in. Azul adds people don't know how publishing works. And one of the things they don't realize is that you will most likely surrender most of your rights to the publisher. So they will own the audio rights and the rights on the name of the book. And people might get a small advanced payment from it. But the truth is, you're fighting for books on Amazon or any bookstore much as anybody else. So this is something you need to weigh out. Will this benefit you? Will this match your goals? Pat Flynn has proven that you can actually get your book on Barnes and Noble even if you don't have it traditionally published. Being an online test dummy, he always finds ways to do things. More importantly, your goal is what matters here. [33:30] From a Book to an Online Course From writing his book, Seth has developed an online course. He uses this material to help people who need more than information and need guidance. He wanted to find a way to turn this into more of an opportunity to himself and be able to help more people. He already had the content created and he knew he had the audience that wanted more. So the online course seemed like the logical next step for him. He already had an email list and a website people are reading, so it was a matter of turning that content into a course. And when he did the launch, he made a good chunk of money with it, which was something he could re-invest so he can create more stuff. For him, it's a great way to open another revenue stream for himself and help more people in the process. He got an email from a student who told him he got to triple his income because of reading his book and blog and taking his course. He was able to use his material to start systematically growing what he was already doing. In total, he has invested less than $100 or maybe more in Seth's products, and he's gotten massive results. And it's people like this guy is why Seth keeps on pushing forward on this because he knows it's helping people. Additionally, he loves getting to meet people and working with them. He ultimately looks at it as just another piece of the puzzle. [36:36] The Power of Investing in a Business Coach Seth is a big fan of working with other people on projects because it bakes accountability into it. So he did hire a business coach to give him some actionable steps and deliverables. Also, making a financial investment in something is important. He had never worked with a coach or taken an online course that he wasn't able to turn around and apply the material to make more money. While it may cost money upfront, it's so worth it to make the investment in yourself. If you're paying somebody money to help you do something, you'll absolutely do the work to get there. It all boils down to having that sense of accountability and the best way Seth thinks anyone could get it is by working directly with someone who's there to help you where you want to go. Azul adds it's more of a head game in there rather than the information you get from them. [41:00] Seth's Advice to Aspiring Writers Seth says he's nothing special. He's just some guy that had an idea and wanted to share it with people. So if he can do it, anyone else can do it. Moreover, he stresses the importance of getting real specific with what it is you really want to achieve when writing a book. Why are you actually writing the book and what is the outcome you want to see? He doesn't think everybody should write a book. It's a very difficult process and it can get very frustrating. It can take a lot of time. So if you don't have a great direction and goal with it, it's going to be difficult for it to be successful. But the more direction you're able to give yourself with it, the easier the process will be. Then you know how to work towards that specific goal. Reach out with people writing books and blogs in your specific industry or niche and ask them if writing a book is something that makes sense. Then work backwards towards what the actual process looks like. Again, know what it is you're really trying to achieve to begin with and what it actually takes to get there.
