Reading time: 41.5 seconds

I've told you about my friend's husband who, while she was reading my book, said, "Who is Honoree to write a book?" (I know, so rude, right?)

If you're asking that question of yourself, i.e., "Who am I to write a book about this?" you're wading in dark waters, my friend. Seek the shore immediately!

This single question has prevented more books from being written than probably anything else. It's based in fear (which is not a good thing in this case) that you're not qualified enough, experienced enough, or enough of who knows what to share what you do, indeed, know for sure.

Hear me now: The people who need your book don't care about your credentials. They care about your solutions, the pain you can help them avoid, and the pleasure you can help them get (preferably with minimal suffering).

If you've helped one person solve a problem, you can help others solve the same problem. If you've overcome a challenge, you can guide others through that same challenge.

That's all books are--solutions in tiny, awesome containers that help the reader. (Truly, I do love books!)

The single mother who figured out how to balance work and family doesn't need a PhD in psychology to help other single, working mothers. The entrepreneur who built a seven-figure business doesn't need an MBA to teach others about entrepreneurship. (You probably figured out I'm both of these examples! You might be them, too.)

🌟 Your experience is your credential. Your results are your message.

The people questioning whether they're qualified enough are usually the most qualified to help others. (It's kind of like the non-narcissist who would think to ask a therapist if they are a narcissist. If you're asking, it's not you.)

You remember what it felt like to struggle, understand the specific challenges you faced, and you can communicate in language that resonates instead of language that intimidates. Those are all you need to write your book. Oh, and one more thing:

​Write Your First Nonfiction Book

It helps you reframe your fear into fuel, and turn your expertise into a book others will thank you for. You'll discover how your unique perspective and experience create value that no expert can replicate--with a process you can!

Your readers need your voice, not any other expert's voice.

See you tomorrow!
