Literature / Get More Value For Publishing By Yourself by ezradan(m): 1:06am On Apr 17, 2020
Publishing is just like any other skill... It can be learned.

If you're still wondering whether you should learn it or not, here are four things you should know that becoming skilled in self publishing books:

1. Do it yourself (DIY): The skill will help you get your own book published now and every other time by yourself.

2. Do it for others: Just like any skill, you can offer services for others for a fee.

3. Consult for others: You can do Book Project consultancy too for a fee.

4. Train others: You can create a course like p and train others for a fee.

I bet you know by now that publishers are not happy about what I want to teach you for that ridiculous amount.

WHY PAY MORE? ... when you can save it.

Literature / Get Started: From Obscurity To Influence by ezradan(m): 11:23pm On Apr 16, 2020
One of the fundamental ways you can actually take the exit door from a place of rejection and brokeness is climbing the shoulders of opportunities having a book presents to you.

Becoming an author is a celebrity status. Yes, I don't know who needs to know this.

Over the years, I have seen how people exit from obscurity leveraging on the opportunities having a book provides. I am one of such people.

I wanted to write one book in 12 months. That year, I published and printed two books instead. But think about it...

How are books are written?
How are books are sold?
How do books turn authors into celebrities?
How do books turn authors into public speakers?

For the juicy benefits of becoming an author, I moved from two books to a total of seven books. The best part is all the books are self-published.

Self-publishing is a super amazing way to creating at least four different streams of income within it.

If you want to quadruple your income, learn self publishing. The picture gives you a bird eye view of what self publishing is.

I will be glad to help you.

Literature / Why People Are Unable To Finish Their Books Pt. 2 by ezradan(m): 11:08pm On Apr 16, 2020
There are lot of reasons why people never get to finish their books but I will share two fundamental reasons why people start writing but never get to become authors as they don't complete their manuscripts.

1. The Illusion of Busyness: A young man made a post on Facebook. When I saw what he wrote, I smiled because I could relate to what he said. He said he has always been hiding under the disguise of "I'm so busy," and for that reason he has been unable to finish his writing project. I was glad he was, at least, honest to himself.

With this lockdown, everyone can simply answer the question "why have I not finished my book?" It's an individual responsibility to sincerely tell yourself the reason why you have not been able to.

Let me tell you this, any reason you tell to yourself as why you have not finished your book is SIMPLY THE REASON, but you can choose to change the result.

If you cannot write your book now that you are made to stay at home for 24 hours, seek help. It is the best thing you can do rather than fold your hands and allow time slide through your fingers. Regardless make a commitment that you would finish your book and have a plan.

Most people who say they weren't having time have been busted. This lockdown is an opportunity, you can finish your book in the next 13 days before the president addresses the nation again. Yes, you can.

2. Prioritization: A lot of people will drop off their book projects and run off after other things that have immediate consequence or offer immediate gratification.

The reason why this happens is, that, most of these people have not measured their desire for a book.

Okay... Let me explain this better.

You want a book, yeah?
How much do you want it?
What are you willing to do to get it done?
What are you willing to give up to finish it up?

The demand writing and completing a book places on you is often overwhelming and it can get you intimidated. You need to have a meeting with yourself and answer those four questions.

If you don't answer those questions, you'd always have your word document open and Facebook open at the same time. Of course, you'd say inspiration is not flowing for you to add up words in the word document file. You'd choose social media than your word document. It's not bad, but it's not good either.

You need to bring out that book from within you.
Literature / Why People Are Unable To Finish Their Books by ezradan(m): 10:56pm On Apr 16, 2020
Writing can be fascinating and interesting especially for talented writers but writing and finishing a book is such a big project for most people especially first-time authors. This is why a lot of people start writing but they are unable to finish a book.

The reason why they never get to finish and publish their books is not because they are not great writers.

Do you know that 90% of people who made resolutions at the dawn of every new year to publish their books before the end of that year don't get to accomplish that goal? The reason why they never get to accomplish this goal is not because they are not disciplined or they don't know how to set goals. I have demonstrated this in the pt. 1 of this post.

This gives me concern. I see a lot of great and talented writers who wish to become authors, they make several attempts to publish their books, they try different methods but they just never get to succeed.

In my own case, I set a goal for one book and ended up with two fully published and printed in hard copies. With ease, I did what has become a monster to other people. You cannot imagine how frustrating the inability to complete a book has made people.

You may want to ask, why start when they know they cannot finish it? I will tell you.

Let me tell you a shocking truth.

There are more unfinished and uncompleted writings than they are published works on the Earth. Yes, this is how serious the problem is.

I have seven published books so far but I have at least four uncompleted books. Having uncompleted book project is normal, I'm sure every author has abandoned some book projects here and there but it is absolutely abnormal when you cannot produce at least one book.

You know what? I may never get to complete those books I abandoned. It is not because I cannot. It is because my thinking has gone beyond what I started writing. I'd prefer a write a new book with my fresh perspective than to return to fix my old thinking.

You may wonder how I arrived at the conclusion that there are more incomplete book projects than they are finished and published projects. It's simple.

There are people out there who have up to five incomplete book projects and they have never gotten to finish a single one. Yes, five!

All you need is a simple arithmetic. Add the incomplete book projects from the published authors to the incomplete book projects from writers who never became authors. The answer, definitely, outruns the number of books the world has ever published.

It's pathetic.

But here's my thought. You don't have to be a writer to have a book, so any can be an author.

Romance / Why You Will Loose Money If You Don't Know This by ezradan(m): 3:25am On Feb 05, 2020
Does the name MacKenzie Sheri rings a bell?
Currently, MacKenzie is richer than three Dangotes put together. She got a $35billion settlement which made her $37billion rich, thereby becoming the third world's richest woman.

How did this happen?

I will tell you...

I'm sure you have heard people say things like "You don't need anyone to succeed," and "your happiness does not depend on anyone." That's all crab!

Oh dear, your success and happiness depends on people. Of these category, the most important of them all is your romantic relationships.

"The world richest man," Jeff Bezos' net worth is currently $109 billion. His position as no. 1 is threatened week-in week-out. The position is threatened by Bill Gates. Before April 2019, Jeff's net worth was 137billion.

If he'd not divorced his wife, MacKenzie Sheri, he'd be (and would remain) world richest man for a long time. His status is threatened every now and then just because of the divorce incidence. How? The divorce made him part with some good money. Oh yes, $35 billion!

I'm sure you have also heard statements like "behind every successful man is a woman." It's true. Just before you grumble and attempt to disagree, allow me say one more thing.

It might not be mentioned frequently across media but Jeff's was alleged to have had an extramarital affair which invariably cost him his marriage. Regardless, it cost him $35billion. He didn't become $137 billion without MacKenzie only to wake up and relinquish $35 billion without a "fight."

Learning to handle your emotions as you relate with people at different level is paramount. Come to think of it, who says "Jeff's infidelity" must end up causing divorce? There's a science to managing romantic relationships. With his wife, Jeff would be the most powerful man on Earth.

This is why, on February 8th and 9th, we would be having two facilitators for the Fundamentals of Romantic Relationship Master Class which would be curated by the The Emergent Hub.

The reason for two facilitators is, we'd have the opportunity to learn from both the married and single, and male and female.

Who would want to miss this kind of class? I doubt. It's 100% free.

Let me know if you are interested.
