I was asked during an interview, ‘What's the one thing that changed your life?’
It's one of those questions that could have multiple answers.
Meeting my wife? Being given the opportunity to do the job I love? Having kids?
But the answer I gave was deciding to write.
Like many people I didn't believe I could write. Reading this, perhaps you're wondering if I can 😉.
A combination of a lack of confidence, being told by teachers I couldn't, a bit of dyslexia and an underlying belief that no one would want to read my words, left me thinking about it...
But not doing anything about it.
Then that changed.
I'm now the international best-selling author of seven books. Including a Sunday Times No. 1.
My books have been translated into 28 languages.
They’re available in 80 countries.
The reviews are (largely) very positive.
And now I’m teaching hundreds of people how to write, publish and sell their books.
I make myself write every day.
Most of what I write is sh**e.
But that's ok... it’s never seen.
This is draft four of this newsletter. I wouldn’t use the first one to light the fire.
Why do it?
Because I know words can change worlds.
And every word I write will be there long after I've gone.
Write it once, have it read over and over.
Would you like to learn how?
This August I'm hosting a very special mini-course.
It's specifically for people who want to write a non-fiction book.
It could be your memoir, a business book, a self-help paperback, a religious tome, it doesn't matter.
It’s just not for fiction or children's writers… this time.
If you'd like to find out more, I'm hosting a special webinar on Monday July 18th at 7pm. It's called Words Change Worlds.
It's free and I'll share with you the impact that writing can have on your business, personal profile and quality of life.

Not interested in being a writer?
I know writing isn't for everyone, but reading must be.
I'm a little taken aback when someone proclaims, ‘I haven't read a book for 20 years!’
They wear it like a medal.
But that’s not you. You're a reader.
And if you don’t want to write more, then please read more. Pay a visit here for some inspiration: write-that-bookshop
