You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient! If you have never written a book before, you suddenly want to write a book. You will appear, but writing a book is not that simple.

Writers generally believe that it takes three years from the beginning to the end of a book.

If you want to write from the beginning, you may wonder why you can write a book without actually writing it.

A few years ago, I started consulting on career planning. When I was in Xiangyang, Shanghai, my teacher told us that to learn to be a career planner, I need to learn to write, learn to publicize my personal brand and learn to publish books. After the teacher finished speaking, I felt that I was kept in the dark and had no confidence at all. I never kept a diary when I was growing up, and I never liked writing. I was a little depressed until I had to write to become a consultant. Later, after consulting, I strongly felt that if the consultant himself can publish a book, on the one hand, it will help to convey his unique consulting concept to customers, on the other hand, it will also build customers' prestige and trust in themselves, which is conducive to consulting. At the same time, through books, you can build a personal brand, and you can get something on the table wherever you go.

Later, in the practice of consulting, I read a book called Consulting Bible, written by a freelancer. Relying on previous professional background to do management consulting in enterprises, it is said that there are several months of holidays every year to envy others. As a consultant, he said, you should output constantly every day, post your own suggestions on Twitter every day, and then publish another book yourself. Create a personal brand through books and articles. His annual income is about 5 million RMB. He can earn more every day, but he doesn't.

In this way, I knew the importance of publishing books very early. Publishing a book can change fate!

I've been busy as a consultant. Constantly improve their consulting ability and expand all aspects of knowledge.

At the beginning of 20 18, I began to think about how to write a book because of the change of consulting business.

However, when I started writing, I found that there was nothing to write and my thoughts were not mature. I don't know how to write and I don't know how to write. I didn't make up my mind to write until 2018165438+10/9 two days ago.

From 0 to 1, how did I decide to write a book? Why do we think now is the best time to write a book? How to start action?

I want to write a book called Personal Medium and Long-term Career Planning.

1. In the process of consulting, I worked full-time for about two and a half years and accumulated thousands of career planning consulting cases.

In this process of accumulation, I have a moderate understanding of personal career development from all angles, problems at all levels, psychological problems and career development problems. Helped most people make a satisfactory career plan.

Rich cases make me feel like a little expert. Sharing your unique perspective on career development and problem-solving thinking can help people who are confused in their careers create value.

Therefore, I increased my confidence in writing books.

2. Update your penguin space frequently.

Share the theory you have learned, and share the good words about Tencent and WeChat friends circle. Sometimes I write my feelings into dozens of feelings, and I consult my customers every day.

Although there is nothing that can't be written, sharing can bring happiness and spread value. This concept is deeply rooted in my heart.

I have a sister-in-law in my family. Although she is the same generation as us, she is more than 40 years older than us.

Eldest brother died a few years ago. Eldest sister-in-law is over 70 years old!

My sister-in-law is very lonely. She shares her favorite articles and videos in the family WeChat group every day, sometimes after 23 pm.

Sister-in-law looks full of energy, which makes us young people sigh.

Some articles and videos I like and some I don't like. Just click if you like.

Although most of the peers in the group are young people, no one replies to the videos sent by her sister-in-law every day.

But I think many people have read some of the information she shared. In old age, sharing by one person can not only alleviate the loneliness of old age, but also spread the value to society and bring happiness to oneself and others.

Therefore, frequent sharing will also make you pay more attention to valuable content. Thinking is smoother. It provides some energy for writing.

3. Reading, reading a lot.

Consulting is as much an output as writing. Writing compares content, consulting output methodology and ideas, and it is one-on-one output. Because consultation will come into contact with people from all walks of life, because it requires a lot of reading by consultants.

In addition to online video tutorials, Zhihu and Baidu Library. Individuals also need to buy a large number of professional books. In just three years, I bought almost ten thousand yuan of books. Hundreds of books.

As the saying goes: Be prepared, I have read many books, most of which are just summaries of books. But looking at a bookshelf full of books, it's really easy to feel confident. If there is any problem, the offline personal library and online database can always bring me inspiration and ideas to solve the problem.

Sometimes I feel tired and want to read more books when I see them, which is easy to restore my confidence. This provides me with the support of environmental materials for writing a book. This strengthened my desire to write a book.

4. Make good friends.

Recently, I met a female CEO of a small and medium-sized enterprise by chance. She is excellent. I had an in-depth communication with her and learned a lot of qualities and personal growth patterns that I was not prepared for. I want to order a book about my long-term career planning. In essence, long-term career planning can finally lead to Excellence.

This gave me a realistic version of the excellent material. Excellent and top-notch ideas are more real and easier to observe. You can also pay attention to her oral understanding and excellent thinking.

In the process of communicating with this female CEO, she shared many advanced ideas and successful ways, which greatly increased the corresponding content of my writing a book.

5. Learn the writing process.

In the practice of consulting, I learned a method that everyone can use, that is, repeated learning method.

If I want to learn a new skill, I need to learn this skill first, the most classic and helpful book I can find at present. After I buy it back, I have to read every book three times, and one of them has to be read more than five times. Internalize the function, value and idea of skills, and then use them in the shortest time.

These three books, coincidentally speaking, were published this year:

- 》

Learn to write from scratch, the method of personal appreciation.

Writing is Spencer's best self-investment

Writing from the media, from basic skills to actual combat methods

It is very powerful for beginners to write.

I began to write an article every morning according to the method inside.

Start writing a few hundred words. After about 10 days, I can write 2000-3000 words every day. I have never been able to write, and I found that I just need to be able to write at first, whether it is fluent or not.

For me, who never liked writing, even writing is very stressful. I persisted for a while and unconsciously wrote 50 thousand words. It's really incredible.

Writing practice not only gives me a preliminary understanding of writing skills, but also gives me more and more insights into the framework of writing a book.

This also increased my confidence in writing books.

6. The application of flow chart software.

Mind mapping is rarely used before writing, and the commonly used software is flow chart software: graph designer is convenient for analyzing customers.

Then, my friend recommended a simpler XMind 8? Spiritual manager. This software is really easy to use and free. So I started to use this software a lot to think.

After reading a book, I use a mind map to map out the important content and mind, which makes it easier to remember and develop my mind.

7. Key knowledge content has been accumulated.

A book, the content you want to write most, all the values, methods and meanings you want to express most, have been found.

At this time, you will feel that this book can be written.

In the last two months, I have accumulated the contents of various modules I have developed for a long time.

Such as excellent thinking, skill learning skills, starting thinking, hedgehog view, career construction view, social philosophy theory and so on.

In fact, the most important thing in writing a book is to have a core idea. If we find the core philosophy, we can endow books with soul.

My most confident philosophy in writing a book is "self-efficacy, implementing control". The philosophy of this book is that people are not influenced by passive social environment, but are mutually determined by external environment and behavior. ?

In the process of personal long-term career planning, only by accumulating self-efficacy can we accumulate ability and change our destiny. If you accumulate outstanding performance, it is easier for individuals to become excellent.

Do the above seven steps well, accumulate energy from the inside out, and it is no longer difficult to write a book!

To sum up, by accumulating self-efficacy beliefs, we can learn the most difficult vocational skills and move towards Excellence.
