Writing a Book Enabled Systems Engineer to Quit His Job

According to the Association of American Publishers, 83 per cent of Americans want to write a book. Robert Kiyosaki, creator of the Cashflow Game and the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, said that his book is his best business card. Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series, stated that the best lead generator is a book. These two examples demonstrate a profound principle.

The most successful authors do much more than sell books. The money earned in royalties is incidental income as compared with what they generate from income streams such as speaker fees, membership communities, home study programs, coaching programs, consulting fees, and other products and services.

Wes Waddell is an example of this principle in action. Waddell was able to leave his systems engineering job and run his business with his wife Kathy full time because he discovered the power of having their own book.

He said, “I love that short commute past the coffee pot into the office.” He discovered that having a book boosted not only his business credibility, but his personal credibility as well. Today Wes has created the Internet’s largest membership scrap booking site.

Waddell invested in a proven system that teaches would-be authors how to write a money-making book in 12 hours of actual writing time and use it as a lead generator for a thriving business. His book, Computer Scrapbooking with the FREE OpenOffice Software Suite is one of the methods he uses to bring scrapbookers into his membership site.

AwakenTheAuthorWithin.com has dozens of video testimonials of successful clients on its website and blog, including Waddell’s.
