Is Now a Good Time to Publish a Book?

We are in a period of transition. 2021 was a year where the only thing we could be certain of was uncertainty. Whenever there is a crisis, whenever there is transition, there is opportunity. And if you've been thinking about writing a book or you're working on one, but it's not done yet, especially if you've been wondering when the right time to publish might be, then this video is for you. Hey there. I'm Julie the book broad. I'm founder of a fabulous self publishing services company called Book Launchers. Book. Before I started book launchers in 2017, I was a real estate investor and I ran a real estate investing training company in Canada. I launched into building that real estate investing training company in 2008. It was a year where everything in real estate was in absolute transition and crisis. It was also the year that many of today's leading experts in their industry were created, fired, forced to quit, or just fetch sped up with status quo. 2008-2010 was a pivotal period for so many people. We have that again right now. New voices are needed and welcomed. New perspectives are needed. Your ideas are being sought out. So how will they find you? How will you present it without a book? Now, I know you might be thinking, you're right, Julie. And I am busier than ever because this transition has created a massive need for my business, my service, my expertise or whatever. So I don't have time to write a book. Well, one of our clients runs a $50 million a year business and they work with one of the major corporations in the country. And he said working with your team has made this easy and even fun. So if he can carve out a few hours a week to get on the phone with us to get his book written, so can you. You have the time, but not the time to do it all yourself. You need a full service support team like we have at Book Launchers. When you have a writer, an author, concierge, a team of professionals and more, you will have the time to write a book and have it launch by the end of 2022. If you start now, now, you also might be thinking, well, I don't think the timing is right yet. Maybe you see the opportunity coming, but it's not here yet. Well, let me tell you this. A book, when you write a great book, one that you're going to be proud of for years, it takes longer than you want it to take. You need a year to write a book most of the time. So start before you think the timing is right, you'll thank me later. Now, possibly you might be thinking, who am I to write a book? That's when your monster, that big monster called imposter syndrome, is really loud and annoying. So to that I say, do you know something that other people need to know? Do you have expertise or experience that can make someone else's life better? If the answer is yes, then the world needs you now more than ever. In 2008, when I started coaching other real estate investors, I'd done about 15 deals and I owned 12 properties with my husband. I constantly faced this imposter syndrome feeling, but the reality was that I was helping the person who wanted to buy their first property. And I had a lot of expertise with my deals. I'd done an MBA in real estate and finance, and my husband was a mortgage broker. We hadn't done the most deals or made millions and millions and millions of dollars, but people needed our help in 2008 almost more than they ever had before. And I can tell you that the people we helped in 2008-2011 are super happy people these days as they've enjoyed the financial benefits of following our process to buy property. Cha Ching. So tell your monster you don't have to be the world's best or biggest at what you do. You just need to have a servant's heart and be further along the path than the person you want to help. Now, if you're thinking, well, I don't have an agent or a traditional publishing deal, well, I hope you grab a copy of my book, self publish and succeed, because it will help you with that decision. It will also help you set up to write a book that will be marketable enough to attract an agent if you still want one after you read the book. Now, maybe you're still thinking that you're not a good writer or you just don't know how to write a book, well, we're talking nonfiction here. You don't have to write eloquent prose to write a great book. Besides, that's what writing coaches and editors are for. Or you can work with a writer to help you from the beginning. Basically, if you really want to become an author, there's a way to do it. And as we come out of this period of crisis and enter a period of transition, which is how I see 2022, a time where we transition into a new way of doing things. Thinking. Being after this crisis, you have a unique opportunity to emerge as part of the solution. A new and needed voice to help families torn apart, to support the people who left their job or were fired to open the door to healing for people who are suffering after all the emotional challenges of 2020 and 2021, or just to repair and rebuild finances for people who lost work or were forced to take on medical debt. I mean, the list of people who need you is long and I hope you consider writing your book and publishing it in 2022 to help them. And if you don't have the finances to work with a company like Book Launchers. That's why I wrote Self Publish and Succeed and that's why I post these videos and do our monthly Deep Dive training sessions.
