The Benefits of Authority

Who couldn’t use a boost of authority? There are so many benefits and not many drawbacks unless you become the latest “it” influencer, then you’ll have to contend with the haters and memes. But don’t let that detract from the benefits of authority.

Increased Credibility: When you write an incredible, well-written book and become a published author, it automatically gives you more street cred in your field. People know you've got the knowledge, expertise, and experience to write a book on the topic, so they're more likely to take you seriously and consider you an expert in your field. You'll be the belle of the ball (or the king of the castle, depending on your preference)!

Personal Branding: Writing a book is like getting a tattoo - it's a powerful statement that says, "I'm committed to this thing, and I'm not afraid to show it off." A well-written book can help you establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry, which can lead to speaking gigs, media appearances, and all kinds of other opportunities to show off your skills. Plus, it's a great way to differentiate yourself from the pack and stand out in a crowded market.

Competitive Edge: In business, it's all about having an edge over your competition. And what's more badass than being a published author of a well-written book? It shows that you've got the brains, creativity, and tenacity to make something awesome happen. You'll be the boss of the boardroom (or the queen of the conference, if that's more your style).

Increased Exposure: Writing a book is a bit like jumping out of an airplane - it's a rush of excitement, and it can take you to new heights. A book gives you a platform to share your ideas and knowledge with the world, which can lead to new followers, fans, and customers. And who knows, maybe your book will go viral and make you an overnight sensation. 

Personal Growth: Writing a book is a bit like going on a journey - it can take you to unexpected places and challenge you to grow and evolve as a person. It can help you clarify your thoughts and ideas, and give you a sense of accomplishment that can boost your confidence and self-esteem. Plus, you'll become a better writer and communicator in the process, which can benefit you in all areas of your life.

What can you expect after publishing your book?

Well, you can expect to be famous, rich, and adored by millions of fans... Or, if you're like most authors, you can expect to have a sense of accomplishment and pride in your work, along with a few royalties and some good reviews. You might also pick up a bunch of new clients and feel the elation of people oohing and ahhing at your accomplishment. It feels so good, I promise you!

What are the benefits of becoming a best-selling author?

Oh, just a few minor things like increased credibility, speaking opportunities (and very likely at a higher rate than if you didn't have a book), media attention, and a boost in your personal brand. Not to mention the bragging rights of being a best-selling author. 

Can you justify the time, money, and energy spent on a project of this magnitude?

Of course, you can! Think of it as an investment in yourself and your future. Sure, it might take a lot of time, effort, and money to write a book, but the potential return on investment is huge. Plus, you'll have a tangible product that you can be proud of and that will benefit your career for years to come. You can even build a business around it or launch a new offering. The world is your oyster!

What are the ROIs expected after publishing a book?

Well, it depends on what you're looking for. If you're expecting to get rich quick, you might be disappointed. But if you're looking for long-term benefits like increased credibility, speaking opportunities, and media attention, then publishing a book can definitely be worth it. Plus, you'll have a book that you can sell for years to come, which could provide a steady stream of income. Anything's possible!

So, if you're ready to make a splash and establish yourself as an authority figure, it's time to write that book!
