12 Great Coaching Tips for Getting Your Cookbook Done!

The New Year is all about new beginnings. Make 2010 the year you create your dream of writing your own cookbook a reality! To help you do this successfully, you’ll also want to think about increasing your ‘fan’ base and “getting better known.” This will require some work, so I’ve listed some helpful adjustments you can make to ensure your success!

Have you been waiting for the “right time” to get to work on your cookbook? I would like to tell you that there’s no time like right now to get going. And if you start now, by the time it’s the end of January, you’ll have a head start and have some momentum to keep going! If you start now, your cookbook can be a reality in 2010. If you procrastinate, telling yourself “I don’t have time,” you will miss a really good opportunity. What excuse will you have in February?  Valentines Day? You have to decide to move forward, and that means no matter what. Just TAKE ACTION, and get started!

Here are my Top 12 Great Tips for getting your cookbook project going, and building your “author’s platform.” Take note, these are NOT marketing tips; I’m just showing you how to live as you “step” into your greatness! Start these good habits now so when you do really go into “turbo writing,” you will be rid of time wasters, negative habits and energy robbing situations.

I’ll be posting 1 Tip a day….So here is number 1.

1. Schedule regular time slots to work on your cookbook and your “author’s platform” and get to work. If you’re a morning person get up an hour earlier and create as the sun rises. The hour right before the sun rises is one of the most powerful times of day. If you’re a night owl, stay up late to get it done. Either way, give yourself a regular slot of at least sixty minutes per day (2 hours is even better) five time per week. But if you are a night owl, make sure you get enough sleep. You may need to catch a nap during the day. If you have children, schedule your time to work when they are doing their activities. Enlist the help of supportive friends, or your parents who can help you by taking the kids off your hands for a couple of hours. Find a way. You just have to stick with the program. Don’t use your children as an excuse for not writing your book. They are the reason you should write your book…think Legacy!
