Deep dives
Reevaluating Processes and Systems for Entrepreneurs
If you're feeling overwhelmed as an entrepreneur, it may be time to reevaluate processes and systems. NetSuite by Oracle is the number one cloud financial system that streamlines accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, and more. With over 36,000 businesses that have upgraded to NetSuite, it offers a customized solution for all your key performance indicators (KPIs) in one efficient system with one source of truth.
The Importance of Writing Without Thinking
Writing without thinking is a critical skill for any writer. By turning off the editor brain and free writing, you can increase your writing speed and get more words on the page. Overthinking and constant self-editing can hinder the writing process. Writing is simply putting one word after another, and by reducing judgment and allowing the words to flow, you can become a more effective writer.
Writing Speed and Word Count Goals
Calculating your writing speed and setting word count goals can help you stay on track and complete your book more efficiently. By determining how many words you can write in a minute, you can estimate your daily or weekly word count. This method allows you to see that even with limited time, like 20 minutes a day, you can still finish a 50,000-word book in just 30 days. Focusing on word count rather than perfection can help you overcome writer's block and get your book done.
Embracing Your Unique Voice as a Writer
Recognizing your unique perspective and voice as a writer is essential. Acknowledge that you don't need to be an expert. Instead, aim to be a leader by sharing your own insights, experiences, and vulnerabilities. Your authenticity and individuality are what will resonate with readers. A book is not about being perfect, it's about connecting with your audience and providing value with your unique message.
