For all of you who dream of writing a book, but think you’re not good enough; this one’s for you.

I’ve written and published over 20 books now (including my latest title, The Retail Business Blueprint, that just dropped this month), but there was once a time I thought I wasn’t meant to be a writer. My college professor once told me that I was a B+ writer; I could write darn good sentences, but I wasn’t a great writer overall.

Here’s what writing and publishing over 20 books has taught me:

• You don’t have to be great to start, but you do need to start to become great. Maybe my college professor was right. Maybe I was a B+ writer back then, but having written many books over the years, I’ve certainly honed my craft and grown as a writer. No one starts out perfect. Time and practice will help you get better, so just start writing!

• The first draft doesn’t have to be perfect. If you aim for perfection all the time, you’ll never get any words onto paper! Some writers get stuck for years writing their first draft because they want it to be perfect, but it doesn’t have to be. Get your ideas onto paper, let the words flow, and focus on finishing that first draft. You can always go back and edit it later.

• End Always write a clear and concise synopsis for your book. A synopsis is like an elevator pitch for books. It should tell readers what to expect and entice them to get your book. For writers, having a clear synopsis helps you establish the main crux of your story and prevents you from straying too far off course as you write.
