Julie Broad (Book Launchers) gives three concise motivational/practical responses to common excuses for not finishing a book: 1) "I don't have enough experience" — research, collect other people’s stories, or write instructive fiction using what you believe; 2) "I'm too busy" — find small daily windows (e.g., 30 minutes/day, record notes on the phone, two extra weekend hours) and reallocate leisure time; 3) "I'm not a good writer" — use editors, create a strong outline, or record spoken drafts and transcribe them. The video closes with a CTA to subscribe and a brief plug for Book Launchers' services (writing coach, publishing team).

If you've got reasons why you haven't finished your book, I've got things to help you banish. Each of those reasons, stick around. Hey there. I'm Julie Broad with Book Launchers Dot Com. I know there's some really good reasons why you're not getting your book done, but I'm gonna help you get over those things. Number one, one of the most common reasons that you're not getting your book done is I don't have enough experience. I haven't done anything cool enough, so I don't really know what I'm writing about. Well, my own personal motto is live a life worth writing about. So make sure you're trying new things, taking on new challenges. Just face life head on. And if you do that, I'm certain you're going to have stories to share that will help people. But besides that, have you ever heard of a writer named Napoleon Hill? How about a little book called Think and Grow Rich? It sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. And guess what? It's based on research, not experience. By doing the research, he became an expert. He studied the individuals who built up personal fortunes and shared what he learned. Have you heard of Chicken Soup for the Soul? That entire book series was born from Mark Victor Hanson and Jack Canfield's belief that inspirational stories had value. So they collected 101 stories from all a whole bunch of other people, and voila, an entire series was born. Still not convinced? Well, the wealthy barber and rich dad, poor dad are fiction stories written to teach important points around finance. If you have a message to share, something you believe in and you feel compelled to get it out there, there's a way to do it with what you know and what you've done to date. Or maybe you're thinking, I'm too busy. I don't have time. We're all busy. Admittedly, there are times in your life when maybe you do not have the bandwidth to spend 5 to 10 hours a week working on a book. But is it really true? Or is it an excuse? If you can find 30 minutes a day to write, maybe on your commute, maybe speaking into a recorder, making notes on your phone at the doctor's office, then all you have to do is just find an extra two hours on the weekend. Maybe sk skipping some Netflix time. But don't skip my videos. They're valuable. Or maybe you just think you're not a good enough writer. Well, that's what editors are for. And if you do a lot of research, write a great outline to begin with, then your book will almost write itself. But if you hate writing, then why don't you try recording it? As long as you have a great outline to work with, you can just speak. You can just talk like you were telling your friend all about your book and. And then have that transcribed. And again, a great editor will work magic on those words and turn it into a book. So guess what? Those three reasons that you thought you had to not write your book, they're excuses. All you need is someone to just kick your ass and get it done. Or, of course, you can hire book launchers, because we've got a fantastic team of publishing professionals that are going to help you out, Especially the writing coach, who will help you craft a great outline and position your book so that it's going to appeal to your ideal reader and sell a lot of copies.

Okay, so you can't kick my butt. The entire team at. Wait. Or of course you can. Just. Okay, yeah, I get to do this, too. Oh, I mean, with enthusiasm.
