True happiness and fulfillment come when you feel that you're making a valuable contribution to your world. Hello, I'm Brian Tresanna. I've written and published more than 75 books in as many as 42 languages and sold more than 10 million copies over the years. This is starting from nothing and not knowing what I was doing at all. There are several reasons why I decided to write a book, but the biggest reason was to spread my message about subjects that I felt very passionate about. My first book was Maximum Achievement, which is still a top seller worldwide in 38 languages today. I want to talk to you about why you should write a book and the many benefits that come from becoming a published author. Just like riding a bicycle, writing a book is a skill that you can master with focused practice and repetition. Before I started writing books, I never considered myself to be a writer. I didn't graduate high school and I failed high school English twice. So if I can do it, you can do it as well. I've created several resources and courses that will teach you how to write books. But today I want to talk to you about why writing a book and becoming a published author will change your life. From a business perspective, writing a book is the fastest way to gain credibility, establish yourself as an expert in your field and build a professional reputation. It can also be used as a promotional item and a marketing tool for your business. Here's a surprising thing. When you give people a book that you have written on your subject, they consider you to be an expert on the subject and far smarter and far more competent than someone else who has not written a book. And they will even hire you and use your services without reading your book just because they physically had it in their hand. So think about it. What sort of impression do you get when you meet someone who's become a published author without even knowing them? You might assume that if they were able to write an entire book and get it published, they must be an expert of some kind. Another reason you should write a book is because it provides an opportunity for you to write and publish something on a subject that is important to you and that you will have for the rest of your life. You can express your creativity while sharing your message with other people. One of the universal laws of success is called the law of service and it says that your rewards in life will be in direct proportion to the value of your service to others. So the more you work, study and develop your ability to contribute more to the lives and well being of others, the better life you will have in all areas. Chances are, if you're passionate about a certain subject, other people will be too. And by writing a book about that subject, you can help others in their own lives and in turn, help yourself achieve a more fulfilled life. And before we wrap up, I have a thought for you to share with your friends and followers. It is this true happiness and fulfillment come when you feel that you're making a valuable contribution to your world. Now, I'd love to hear from you.
