Ep. 011: When's the right time to write your book? [Interview]

The Authority Show

So you have this great book idea, but you keep putting it off. Why?

Let me guess…

• There’s not enough time...
• You don’t know where to start...
• Now is not the RIGHT time (2020 and all)...

And the list goes on.

I don’t care how many “reasons” you give me, I’m still going to give it to you straight — we both know they’re really just excuses.

And the only thing excuses are good for is to help you up your procrastination game.

So how do you kick them to the curb and write the damn book anyway?

That’s exactly what today’s The AUTHORity Show guest did.

Wedding Strategist (and Rockstar Writing Academy alumna) Faye Cornhill decided against all odds to write her book, “I Do.” She didn’t let her excuses (like “no one writes a book about wedding businesses during a pandemic”) keep her from doing what she knew could help others.

Overcoming her doubts and writing her book helped wedding entrepreneurs have a solid plan of action to build their businesses, but during one of the hardest years in the industry, her can-do attitude became a beacon of hope for her community.

She’s a leader who’s inspired me and I know her story will inspire you, too.

Here are the highlights from today’s episode:
