Can a college student write a book?

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

I recently spent some time with Dan Poynter, author, publisher, and speaker. He
was traveling throughDan Poynter and Dr. Debi Yohn
Shanghai on his way around the world doing speaking engagements. He shows people like you and me how to write and publish books through self publishing.

Most of us, think, “I can’t do that!” Well yes, you can and its easier than you think.

Being an “author”, makes you an “author”ity. I learned that phrase from Dan. By writing a book, you now have something that 95% of most people don’t have. You are an author.

I suggest if you are an entrepreneur, a world traveler, a business owner, a grandparent, a college student… Think about putting your experiences into print. You can then use your book as a brochure, a catalogue, a Christmas card or for college students - something to include in your job application.

Now check out Dan’s web site and get writing!…begin your writing career early.
See you on the Best Seller list!

Last week I had the pleasure of hearing Chris Gardner speak.

You may not recognize his name…but by the end of this post you will know his story.

Will Smith starred in a move called “The Pursuit of Happyness.”

This movie is based on Chris Gardner’s personal life story.

If you haven’t had an opportunity to see it, I recommend you move heaven and earth to do so… such an inspiring story.

You can see the trailer here.
