In this episode of Write the Book Inside You, he shares tips and tools to help writers and authors master the inner and outer game of being a bestselling author, creator of audiobooks - and podcast guest.

Tip #1

Be genuine rather than self-serving.

When reaching out to Influencers who might help you become a “bestselling author,” Derek says take your self-interest out of the equation.

Your entire attitude and approach should be ‘how is this going to help you and your audience?' It's all about them.

Derek learned this from Dale Carnegie’s book How to Win Friends and Influence People. Readers and influencers crave genuine attention.

“A genuine compliment will instantly make you stand out. You'd probably be in the top 5% of people if you just take the time to personalize the message or send a short video introduction.

Tip #2

Write a book on a topic you know and feel passionate about sharing.

Your attitude can be: “if it makes money or not, great. Either way, I’m going to put this book into the world because people need it.”

This averts the tendency of imposter syndrome, asking yourself who am I to write a book, is anyone going to enjoy this?

Tip #3

Your reader wants to hear from YOU.

Stop worrying if other writers have covered your topic–your next reader hasn’t heard it from you.

“Sometimes they've heard it seven times, but they need to hear it for the eighth time and you're the one that says it right then, when they need it the most.

“You may be the one doctor on a flight that saves the passenger’s life.”

Tip #4

Three Magic Words: Can I just…

“If I had one last tip to share on my deathbed, it would be the Can I just technique,” says Derek.

It hinges on micro-commitments.

“BJ Fogg, a Stanford researcher, talks about tiny habits. Steven Guise of Mini Habits, James Clear of Atomic Habits, plus several others have talked about this concept of a micro commitment. It's something so tiny that you're guaranteed to say yes to doing it.
'Can I just open my word processor and type one sentence? Then I can stop after that.’

“It works because Momentum generates motivation,” says Derek.

It's crucial that you remember to stop and pat yourself on the back for even the smallest action, says Derek. Say to yourself, ‘I did something instead of nothing… I did more than I thought I could.’

Tip #5

Consistency wins the day

When it comes to building a habit, especially in the short term, consistency is more important than quantity or sometimes even quality, says Derek. “Build up a writing habit, keep doing a little each day. It might be only a minute, five minutes, ten minutes a day, versus not writing for a week or two and having big ups and downs.”

Tip #6

One hand up, one hand down.

“Know how to reach up to influencers and coaches who can show you what you don’t know. But - remember to reach one hand down to those YOU can help and guide.”
