About this ebook
Today, the opportunities for writers have never been greater. Back in the day a writer who was making six-figures a year seemed a creature of myth. These days, highly successful writers are making six figures a month.
Success isn't only about money of course.
Success to you might mean taking on writing projects as a side hustle, and making enough to repay your mortgage and car loan every month. Or perhaps to you, success means becoming a full-time writer.
Whatever success means to you, there's only one way to be successful, and that's to write, and achieve your writing goals.
Sadly, many writers who'd love to be successful get in their own way. They give up on projects — and on themselves — because they struggle with self-doubt. They rarely set goals, and if they do, they forget about them quickly, because they're not working toward achieving those goals.
Do you stare out of the window when you should be writing? What if you could write faster, while improving your writing? How many more projects could you complete?
Perhaps you're a procrastinator. I used to be the Queen of Procrastination. Finally, I found strategies which overcame that tendency, and now you can use those strategies too.
In this book, you'll discover:
* Four simple strategies to help you to overcome your doubts about your writing;
* How to write more, sell more, and get more clients. If you're writing a book, you'll discover fresh enthusiasm and inspiration;
* Ways in which to get more from your writing. You'll know you're doing the right things when your life becomes fun. Obstacles will vanish; your life will flow;
* How to work less than you're working now, while achieving more.
Enjoy. :-)

Introduction: Forget Goals, Create Burning Desires
Hi Fellow Writer
Welcome. I sincerely hope that this program starts you on a happy journey to success as a writer, no matter what kind of writing you do.
Today, the opportunities for writers have never been greater. Back in the day a writer who was making six-figures a year seemed a creature of myth. These days, highly successful writers are making six figures a month.
Success isn't only about money of course. Success to you might mean taking on writing projects as a side hustle, and making enough to repay your mortgage and car loan every month. Or perhaps to you, success means becoming a full-time writer.
Whatever success means to you, there's only one way to be successful, and that's to write, and achieve your writing goals.
Sadly, many writers who'd love to be successful get in their own way. They give up on projects — and on themselves — because they struggle with self-doubt. They rarely set goals, and if they do, they forget about them quickly, because they're not working toward achieving those goals.
So, how do writers achieve success?
One way. Their success is determined by their To Do list — by what they do every day.
Writing success depends on what you do — and what you don't
It all starts with your goals: the right goals. Few writers create goals, and even fewer create goals which work for them.
Have you created a goal?
Chances are, that all your goal did was upset you because you didn't achieve it.
Here's why. Although you set a goal, you didn't know enough about yourself. You didn't choose goals which were right for you: goals which came with built-in motivation and inspiration.
Therefore, forget setting goals initially.
Focus on desire… not just any wish, but a burning desire.
Once you have a burning desire, you can create step by step goals (adjusting as you go) which WILL achieve your burning desire. Your step by step goals will be of two kinds: achievement goals and (more importantly) process goals.
Let's look at burning desires first.
What are they?
