So you think you can write? Well, do it!

My friend Dan Poynter from Para Publishing in the US, states that "you shouldn't die with a book inside you". I took his advice, wrote three and have started the fourth.

I don't see myself as a gifted writer but it seems like my books are enjoyed and valued (so the sales tell me) which I guess is always nice.

However, I see myself rather as a dedicated leadership facilitator, executive coach, speaker and the work I do is specific to making a difference in a world that is positively different. Therefore it makes sense to document my thoughts, contributions, ideas and options in a book. I chose to self publish and will do so again. Whether I do or whether I don't self publish, the thing that matters most is that I write the book, feel like I'm doing something that is making a positive impact and can help educate, influence and inspire others to do the same.

If you want to make that difference, bottom line is, do it! So if you think you can write, start it and stop thinking you have to write a War and Peace to be happy.
