Dear Aspiring Thought Leader,

Are you someone who wants to make a difference in the lives of others? You have that itch. It’s an itch that just won’t go away. Maybe it’s a writer’s itch. Or maybe you want to change the way people think about a certain problem.

You have a book locked up inside your head or a message you’d like to get out to the world, and it just won’t go away. Sure, you’ve contemplated doing something about it, maybe many times. Maybe you’ve even started a step or two.

But just when you get enough steam to start things rolling, you get held back. Questions remain unanswered. Doubts creep in. Your dream feels too big for where you’re at right now.

You get to a point where you decide that maybe it’s not such a good idea anymore. After all, there are so many authors and influencers out there already, and so many others to compete with. What once seemed like a great idea now seems to be a waste of time.

So you slouch back into your “comfort zone.” You feel defeated. For a while, you may even forget about your idea. Days pass, maybe months, even years.

But the itch comes back, as it always does. You begin contemplating the question once more…

“What If…?”

What if you had started, or kept going when the idea first hit you? What if you never let doubt and fear get the best of you? What if your book actually became published or your idea actually caught on?

Your head begins to fill with questions. Is there a right way to move forward? What are the chain of events that need to happen to make your dream a reality? What options do you have to get your message out to the world?

Details, Details, Details…

These little details can and often do get in the way. I know. I’ve been there myself. Although I eventually became a 4-time international bestselling author, my journey to publish my first book and become a professional speaker was both frustrating and challenging.

Getting started can be the most overwhelming process a first time thought leader ever goes through. Yet it’s the details involved that usually stop most people dead in their tracks.

We’re seeking to express our creative ideas. This is where the enjoyment comes from, in releasing our creativity. But when it comes down to the details, most of us avoid it like the plaque. I know this well. There were many times I was tempted to quit and toss aside my dreams.

But I didn’t quit. And that has made all the difference. Now I speak on stages all over the world, including teaching in Africa. Twelve years ago, I could never have imagined that achieving my dreams would be so easy.

So let me ask you this: What if you had help? Would that make a difference?

Could I help you on your journey as an author or thought-leader? Would that make it easier for you? I’m sure it would. In fact, I’m positive that if we worked together, the road would be a lot smoother for you. And your chances of success would be significantly higher.
