Ep 029: How to outline your book in one day

The Authority Show

If you’ve ever uttered the words, ‘I don’t know where to start with my book’ or ‘I don’t have time to write it,’ you’re going to want to listen up. The reality is, you don’t have to spend days upon days or weeks on end getting yourself prepared and ready to write your book.

How do you get started? Well, your most brilliant option is to schedule a VIP Day with me and we’ll get it all done.

But if you’re not quite ready for that, you can listen in to this episode of The AUTHORity Show and we’ll do an imaginary one together to get you going.

So what does that look like? Other than enjoying some coffee and scenery, we’ll take it step by step and go through...

• Mapping
• Brainstorming
• Outlining
• Chapter breakdown

And just like that you’ll go from not knowing where the hell to start to being ready to write your first draft — all in a single day.

So when you’re telling yourself you don’t have the time to write a book, this exercise proves that’s a complete load of bollocks (but we already knew that, didn’t we?).

And maybe you actually didn’t know where to start, but now you do.

Ready to get all the details during our imaginary VIP Day together? Then grab a cup of tea and tune in to this episode to hear in more detail how we’ll work together to get a plan in place for your book.
