  1. You don’t know where to start.

2. You talk about writing a book but haven’t done much writing (if any).

3. You know what a platform is, but don’t want to build one.

4. Or maybe you think your idea is sooooo good that you don’t need one.

5. You are writing the entire book and intend to perfect the manuscript before consulting anyone or doing any research about how to get it published.

6. You are worried about the cost of hiring someone like me, so you read my emails but don’t take any action.

7. You are too busy.

8. You are specifically too busy right now to write your own book and wonder what people will think if you hire a ghostwriter.

9. You are worried about whether your audience is big enough, if your message is important enough, if you are enough.

10. You are afraid to take the next step (booking a call with me!) because that means you would actually find out what someone else thinks of your book.

I’m going to be brutally honest with you because frankly — when am I not?

These aren’t reasons. You just think these are reasons.
