Overcoming the Barriers to Writing a Book with Dan Janal

Welcome to this episode of the Real Fast Results podcast!  Dan
Janal is today’s special guest.  If you have a brand, or you
would like to build a brand by writing a book, then you are
definitely in the right spot.  Dan has actually written more
than a dozen books, and his latest book is called, Write Your Book
in a Flash: The Paint by Number System to Write the Book of Your
Dreams – Fast! Dan is also one of the founding fathers of internet
marketing because he wrote one of the very first books of the
field.  That was way back in 1993.  So, he has been in
the game a long time, and he has built quite a reputation as an
expert in the field, as noted by the Los Angeles Times.  Dan
is also a publicity as well as a marketing expert, and he has
helped many people build their platform.  He also holds a
master’s degree in journalism, is an award-winning newspaper
reporter and business newspaper editor, and he helps a number of
thought leaders and business executives write their books, and of
course, build a bigger platform and increase their sales.

for you.  My big promise to you is that you will overcome the
barriers to writing a book.  You know, everyone wants

it.  During the next few minutes, we are going to go
over some of the most frequently asked questions. [bctt

work every day.  No one says, “Oh, I don’t feel inspired to
dig my ditch today,” or “I don’t feel inspired to lay bricks
today.”  Or, “I’m waiting for some inspiration to come so that
I can dig a ditch.”  They just show up and work. 
Somehow, for writers, it’s like, “I’m looking at a blank
page.  I have writer’s block.”  Well, you know, the
secretary is filing a ton of insurance forms a day.  She
doesn’t get “filer’s block,” but somehow we get blocks.  So,
in the next few minutes we are going to overcome some of those
blocks, and I’ll show you how you can write a book fast, fast,
fast, fast, fast. Download the Complete PDF Show Notes Free for
