How to Prepare a Mission Statement Before Writing Your Book - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

How to Prepare a Mission Statement Before Writing Your Book - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Before starting to write a nonfiction book to build your personal brand, take the time to write a mission statement for your book. The afternoon, or two, that you spend on your mission statement will ensure that you write the right book. Dont jump the gun at the beginning of a project and spend too much time thinking about titles, contents, and publishers. Instead, identify what you want out of your book. By identifying the specific goals and objectives you want your book to provide creates a framework for planning, writing, promoting, and profiting from your book. Preparing a mission statement ensures that your decisions at every step will be consistent with the goals and objectives you want to achieve. A 2-page mission statement ensures that you will make the most of each of the 100-plus pages you write for your book. Start with a vision Bob Blys latest book, The Marketing Plan Handbook: Develop Big-Picture Marketing Plans for Pennies on the Dollar, begins with a great example of creating a marketing plan by working backwards from the desired results. Bobs one of Americas most respect direct response copywriters and the author of 78 books. Ive been turning to Bob and his books for guidance for over 25 years. When Bob was, himself, working with a coach, his coach had Bob write a vision statement of what a typical day in his life would be like. The 9 brief paragraphs in Bobs vision statement described all aspects of a day in his ideal life, including the specific tasks to spend time on, his finances, andmost importanthis personal relationships with wife and family. Bob reports that, although he didnt take specific action on his vision statement and his coachs follow-up comments, he was energized from the process. He also reports that somehow the goals containing within my ideal day description implanted themselves in my brain. As he continued: Not everything in my ideal day essay has come true, but I have moved forward it in several significant directions. Elements of an authors mission statement If youre preparing an authors mission statement for your personal branding book, start by asking yourself the following questions: Where is your income coming from? What is your monthly, or yearly, overhead, and how much is left over after the bills are paid? How much of a cushion, or financial buffer, do you want saved in the bank? How did you leverage your personal branding book into new product and service opportunities? What kinds of people are you dealing with? Who are the clients and prospects you deal with every day? What do you like about them? What are their characteristics? What are their concerns and concerns? How do they benefit from working with you? What are the skills youre using each day? What are the daily duties and tasks that you look forward to performing in order to leverage the opportunities created by your book into day to date income? Did you need to master new skills to efficiently perform your post-publication ideal tasks? How do your clients and prospects discover you? Describe your ideal marketing funnel. What are the steps involved in your process, or a system, for converting readers into prospects and clients? Networking. Beyond clients and prospects, have you expanded your contact sphere through networking with others who share your interests? What kinds of individuals are new to your contact sphere, and what do you like about them? What kind of hobbies, interests, or passions, are you now able to indulge in? What do you do when youre not working? What kind of family or leisure pursuits do you engage in? What kinds of passions and pleasures do you now have both the time and the money to indulge in? How did your book make the above possible? What was the contribution that your book played in making your ideal day possible? More important, how did each of the the decisions you took planning, writing, promoting, and profiting contribute to your ability to life a life of ideal days? Starting your mission statement Avoid procrastination. Create and save a new document entitled Mission Statement for Book and begin by entering the 7 questions above, and formatting them as headings. Then, without further ado, answer the above 7 questions as accurately and quickly as you want. Avoid the temptation to self-edit or prejudge the feasibility of your responses. (There is no grading involved!) When youre through, save your work and close the file. Review it the next day, and continue to review it as you create the content, writing, and marketing plans for your personal branding book. Author: Best-selling author and book coach Roger C.

Personal Branding Weekly - Happy Birthday #Brandchat - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Weekly - Happy Birthday #Brandchat - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career This week we hit a milestone in a twitter chat that I started five years ago.   In fact, our #brandchat birthday is this Wednesday, February 19th. In five years, we’ve met many BRANDidos (a term of endearment for all those who chat and share their insights and resources). Some have stayed, others have left and many have taken ownership in shaping and growing the community, feel and focus on the chat. If you look at why people have stayed and taken ownership of the chat, take a moment to reflect on your own brand or the brand of your small business. Exhibit, or even more so embrace, the following practices to create a community of advocates around your brand: 1. Meaningful conversations This doesn’t mean it’s a “tell all” bare your soul type of conversation.   It does mean that you must be honest, authentic and appreciative of everyone involved. 2. Be present Our chat is just one hour. The benefit of that is during that hour we are present â€" fully listening, conversing with and sharing our time, talent and resources with fellow participants. 3. Open your mind and be willing to change your beliefs When you’re truly listening to someone and treating their opinion and beliefs as valuable, then you are open to altering your own opinions and beliefs after learning more about theirs, how they substantiate it or why they believe what they do. It’s important to note that I didn’t say anything about changing your values. Your values are at the core of who you are. Your beliefs can change while your values stay firm. 4. Consider that the way you’re valued and appreciated might not look like what appreciation should look like to you Recognize that what motivates you might not motivate others.  [tweet this] The people you work with need to be shown appreciation in a manner that means something to them and encourages them. 5. Value those who are there Honor those who participate. It can be just one person. Focus on them instead of focusing and discussing those who aren’t there. 6. Know why you’re doing what you do Strategy and how tactics connect with your overall goal is important to keep at the forefront of every interaction. What else would you add to the list? I hope you’ll join us this week and jump into the chat to say Happy Birthday and to introduce yourself. You’re always welcome!

More stuff from the happy-at-work conference - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

More stuff from the happy-at-work conference - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Weve received some more follow-up material on the happy-at-work conference. Suna Christensen is an anthropologist who participated, and has now written a short report on the conference. Its fascinating reading, and heres one of my favourite bits: Work life and private, personal life is traditionally two separate worlds. But through inclusion of being human on the job this conference created a connection where human life as such stretched beyond the known borders. In me an experience was created which means, that it no longer makes sense to speak of work environment as terms or conditions under which we work. In stead, we must search for (new) words and concepts that as the conference did in practice kan represent the (contradictory) conditions under which we work. Music to my ears :o) You can find the whole report here in danish only, though. Merete Klussman also participated, and she wrote a personal account of her day at the conference. Her article is an excellent description of the day and what participants could get out of the conference. Read Meretes story here. Thanks for visiting my blog.
