Writing a book feels like a mammoth task. Tens of thousands of words to write, and finding time in the margins to turn an idea into a publication.

When writing my second book I reflected on what it takes to write a book in a short timescale. It feels impossible to begin with. Then little by little small efforts compound into something big. That is the journey I have taken.

It can be your journey too. To help, I am giving you free access to my 110 point checklist and project plan that I have used to write both books in just 6 months.

Writing is the easy part

It is a reality I couldn’t believe before writing Effortless Public Speaking. But writing is the easy part of the book writing process. All it takes is 500 words a day for 100 days and you have your non-fiction book.

Writing a book is simple, but that doesn’t mean it is easy. It takes discipline, resilience, and a willingness to push on when you want to give up.

The winning formula is the shift from one big effort to write a book to small, intentional actions that compound on top of each other.

Write a book in 100 days: ‘impossible’.
