Feel like you need a kick in the pants to get you airborne as we head into 2010? 🙂
Seth Godin put together this terrific preso of writing by authors called What Matters Now. These messages will inspire all writers as we head into 2010. For all of us platform builders, the content offers great examples of how successful authors think. Click on each author’s URL as you read along to catch a glimpse of how they have each designed their online shingles. Seth’s next book, coming in January 2010, is Linchpin (but the book of his that I wish everyone would read or reread is Permission Marketing).
Author Lee Silber created an inspirational end-of-the-year message on YouTube that will be helpful for just about anyone. What I like about it is that it asks each of us questions to consider. Watch it and get focused. His latest book is The Wild Idea Club.
Chris Brogan did a series of video posts on his thoughts about Overnight Success in 2009. I like to think that I might have been a catalyst in his coming up with this idea, because when he attended my session at The Writer’s Digest Conference in September, I emphasized that there is no such thing as overnight success for authors. I guess he didn’t believe me. (Chuckling.) Have you checked out his book that went straight to the New York Times Bestseller List? That’s eleven years of preparation for overnight success paying off.
Slow and steady wins the race. Hope these gems help you get pumped up for 2010. Enjoy!
