Do we all have an obligation to get our words of wisdom into print and share our learnings with the world ? Arguably there is someone who needs only to read your words in order to create the catalyst to see them too ‘ make a difference ’.
What greater contribution is there for us , than assisting others to make a difference ? Is that one of our best ways to give back ?
Sharing you knowledge is arguably your most urgent priority today .
Why is it so urgent ? Why should you make it your number one priority ?
There was a man I once knew who was a leader in his field . He promised he was writing a book that shared his deepest thoughts and wisdom . For three years , he made promises . Then , without warning , he became terminally ill . He passed away before he put any substantive thoughts on paper , let alone produce a manuscript . What a tragedy . Not only was his life taken at its prime , his knowledge and learnings were also lost forever .
The knowledge is lost and no one else can leveraged it for themselves and make a difference sooner .
Don ’ t let this be you .
Get your knowledge out of your head and into a book . Share your learnings . Make a difference yourself and create platforms for others to also make a difference before it is too late .
‘ A life worth living may be measured in many ways , but the one where that stands above all others is living a life of no regrets ’ – Gary Keller with Jay Papasan – The One Thing .
You will not regret publishing a book . However , will you regret it , if you do not ?
What can you do to ensure your words are published ?
As with any important project , find great people to be a part of this journey with you . You don ’ t need to do this alone .
There are numerous courses , programs and books about publishing , however , find the solution that resonates with you .
Take an hour or two , to do some research on the internet , reach out and see what comes back .
And do it today . Leave your legacy .
