Get personalized guidance from Bill O'Hanlon, an Oprah-featured author of 37 books who has coached over 300 books into publication
But, beyond all that, your book can change someone's life.
I will never forget the day I got an email from someone who had read one of my books (Do One Thing Different, the one that got me on Oprah) and told me that it had literally saved her life.
Getting a message like that from someone you never met is one of the greatest feelings in the world.
You may have wanted to write and publish a book but come face to face with barriers and fears that have stopped you:
I let some of those things stop or delay me at the beginning too. But because I had delayed, I would get annoyed when I would have a great idea and then see someone else write a book about something similar while I was still procrastinating and "fixin' to get ready."
Or to see someone else get to be an expert in some area I knew I could offer something too, but no one knew who I was because I didn't have a book out.
Let me tell you some of my story about becoming an author...
I started out as an unknown guy from Nebraska, clueless about how to write a book but with an idea that I thought could make a difference.
I had a busy life: a full time practice and four kids at home.
I actually had several ideas for books, but they remained unfocused and in my head. I'm a bit on the ADD side of the spectrum, with lots of ideas, but a bit scattered. I wasn't a "natural writer" and found the process of writing excruciating.
I didn't have the first clue about how to write a book or how to get it published.
Because of that cluelessness, it took me years to write my first book and get it published. I wasted a lot of time and went down many blind alleys and dead ends.
And then I wrote another and another and another, until by now I have over 30 books published by mainstream publishers such as W.W. Norton, John Wiley and Sons, Harper Collins, Penguin and others. My books have been translated into 17 languages so far. I have also self-published print and e-books.
I gradually worked out a system for writing more quickly and the time it took me to write my books went down from years to months. I typically write a book in several weeks part time these days.
Over time, I worked out 12 Rapid Writing Methods that helped me reduce the time I spent writing my books as well as helping me up with a better, more sellable book in the process.
My career path took off in unanticipated directions. Now I was seen as an expert, and was regularly asked to speak and consult without doing any marketing to get those invitations.
Success as an author brought many unintended but happy consequences. Readers wrote to tell me my books changed their lives in ways I never imagined possible. I was able to help many more people than I had been able to just working one on one with people as a psychotherapist.
And I made money, both directly from book royalties and indirectly from increased speaking invitations and fees and sales of book-related products and services. I now have a nice supplemental retirement income if I ever decide to stop working actively.
I now work fewer hours than before and have more time for my loved ones and my self care (I exercise regularly, get a good night's sleep, and play music daily, as well as read several books a week).
The first person I formally coached was my friend and colleague Warren Berland. He was telling me about an innovative therapy technique he had come up with and I said:
"Warren, you have to write a book about that!"
He looked at me as if I had two heads! "That's what you do, Bill. I wouldn't know the first thing about writing and publishing a book. I've never written anything."
"That's okay, Warren. I know exactly how to get a book written and published and I'll help you."
I did and Warren's book, Out of the Box For Life, was picked up by an agent and published by Harper Collins, with an advance of tens of thousands of dollars.
Pretty soon others were asking me if I could help them get their books written and published, and remembering the discouraging and frustrating time I had figuring it all out, I started helping them with the system I developed until by now I have coached over 150 books into publication from my students and coaching clients. Some decide to self-publish, which is quick and easy these days, and some decide to seek a publisher.
One of my favorite students and coaching clients was Laura Crawshaw, who followed the system I taught her to get her book written and published (it is called Taming the Abrasive Manager, published by Jossey-Bass). Not only did having her book out increase her consulting and coaching clients, but it led to speaking engagements all over the world and the establishment of coaching institutes in several countries where people can learn her method for helping difficult executives.
Other students and clients have discovered that through their books, they can earn extra income now and in the future, establish their reputations as experts, develop speaking careers or increase their speaking income and find fulfillment through getting their ideas out into the world where they can help others. More than that, they feel an increased sense of confidence after they become authors.
So I decided to put all my knowledge of over 30 years experience writing and publishing books and coaching others into an online course to help you get your book written in months (rather than the years it used to take me for my first books) and to get your book published and sold.
Get Over Your Barriers and Fears and Get Published This Year
I came across an idea some time ago: Either you get the results you are after or you get the reasons why you didn't get the results. The reasons why are the booby prize.
In coaching people who long to write a book over the years, I have found that people are left with the reason why they haven't written their books yet all too often. I call these the "reasons why not."
Here are the common ones I have heard and my responses:
You may have other reasons why you haven't written your book, but I can tell you I have heard most every one and after all the "reasons why not" are gone, my students go on to write their books. You just need the right guidance and instruction to get your book written and published.
You may have all sorts of reasons why you are thinking this course "won't work for me." If you are letting these reasons stop you from taking the course and getting your book out this year, you are robbing yourself and others from the contribution your book might make.
You could be setting up a life of bigger contribution and impact, more income and more fulfillment right now. Let's get you over those reasons "why not" and "why it won't work for me," and get that book out there in the world. I promise you you can write and publish your book with some effort and investment on your part and with the guidance, accountability, structure and motivation the course will provide.
The course will consist of videos, audios, checklists, worksheets, coaching calls and discussion/question and answer boards.
It will be online so you can access it over the three months it is online at a time that is convenient for you.
And you can download the materials within that three months to go over the material again and again to absorb it completely.

The course will show you how to...
"Your training just helped me get a book contract... Bill–Just wanted to drop you a line that I got a contract for my professional book on diagnosis and treatment of adult ADHD from New Harbinger. Pretty psyched about it. The advice from your training definitely helped with my proposal. Thanks."
"I was able to quit my day job. Bill helped me write and publish my book about a year ago and today I was able to quit my day job."
""I am on fire with my book since coming into your course, which is the perfect design for me re: deadlines and structure, not to mention your dead-on advice and the way you can channel a great title and subtitle before we have even finished our question! I have never felt so on purpose.""
"You have demystified the process of writing and publishing... Bill, your enthusiasm is contagious and your expertise invaluable! With your help I have the book outlined and 80 pages written and plans for my blog and You Tube videos. I have a workable title. I could not have come so far without your course because I had no concept of how much I didn’t know and needed to know. The experience is worth much more than the tuition you charged. You have demystified the process of writing and publishing and that is….priceless!"
"I've gone from a vague idea to having a structure, outline, title and back cover... "I can’t tell you how helpful you and this course have been. In just a few weeks I have gone from a vague idea for the book, with a couple of initial chapters written but knowing I needed to 'liven them up,' to having a whole new structure, prescription, outline, title and back cover, and am very clear about what to write and how to make it actually readable.""
If, for any reason, you decide the course is not for you, I offer a complete, no questions asked, no need to explain or justify, 100% money-back guarantee.
I want you to jump in and check it out, but if it’s not for you, I don’t want to keep your money.
The course start date is February 6, 2019; so you can cancel through February 28, 2019 and get all your money back. Just email me at [email protected].
What are you waiting for...
Of course I couldn’t have gotten all my books written and published if I didn’t take action. I was clueless but I did know that nothing good happens if you don’t go for it.
I once got a fortune cookie that said: “Man must sit in chair for very long time before roast duck fly in.” I laughed in recognition of what many of us do. We sit on our behinds and dream rather than take action.
Let me tell you, it will take a long time for your dreams to come true if you sit in the chair waiting for them to happen.
And think of what you might be missing if you don’t act on this opportunity now. Instead of holding that book you’ve always wanted to write in your hands one day, you could be letting that dream and possibility pass you by.
I have charged $1000 for this course when I held it live, and that didn't include extra travel costs, lodging and food participants had to shell out. I'm not available for live individual coaching any longer and when I offered this kind of coaching, it cost hundreds of dollars an hour for my time. You will get more than 10 hours access to my personalized coaching in this course.
"Grab this course, you'll be glad you did while others grieve they didn't. Bill O'Hanlon as a writing coach? How can you say "no?" He helped and inspired me to write my books, six in print and two on Kindle, and he can help you, too. He's a hugely productive writer, and he's a talented coach who can teach you as he has taught me"
