Gay Hendricks – Bestselling Author’s Intensive
Have you ever felt that you were meant to write a book that could truly better the world, and supercharge your career?
You’re probably right! And if you’re like so many other aspiring authors, that book remains inside you, unwritten – or only half complete. Or perhaps you’ve actually finished it, but nobody knows it exists.
What if you could write your book and share your unique message with far more joy, ease and creative excitement? And what if you knew the secrets of marketing to make it a bestseller?
Just imagine how this could boost your career, and fulfill your heart’s desire to positively impact the lives of as many people as you can.
You likely contain a wealth of life experience, knowledge and imagination just waiting to be set free and touch others in profound ways. And there is simply no better vehicle than a book, which distills your wisdom into an easy-to-access, powerful and portable form.
A book with your name on it opens the door to instant credibility, as well as radio, TV, speaking gigs, events, courses, and more. It provides the easiest way for people to get to know who you are and what you gifts you have to offer. When it comes to establishing a well-paid career doing what you love, a successful book can generate a huge return on your investment of time, energy and money.
Most importantly, it provides you with an invaluable opportunity to express your heart’s truth in a way that can really benefit others.
That said, the challenges in creating a successful book can feel daunting. Maybe you have problems with procrastination and creative blocks. Perhaps you have fears around marketing – or don’t know how to reach your target audience – so you write and write, but never sell.
The good news is there is a proven path to writing a book you can genuinely be proud of – one that is successful and makes an impact. And it can be done with the kind of unbridled energy that leaves you excited to write the next paragraph…and the one after that.
In these moments, your creative spirit is released – accessing the truest, most beautiful parts of yourself.

Module 3: Transforming Obstacles Such as Procrastination, Resistance, and Other Energy-Draining Patterns
The main challenge for writers often isn’t the actual skill of writing–it’s learning how to deal with the resistance that always rises whenever we go to express our full potential in the world.

There are several tools, tips and tricks that can make a writer’s life much easier, as well as more successful. Unfortunately, as Gay says, “I didn’t know any of them when I started out. Most of them I had to learn the ‘hard way.’ These are the tips, tricks and tools I wish I’d had 30 years ago, and it’s my hope that sharing them will save you a lot of unnecessary ‘hard way’ learning.” Some of Gay’s tools are practical, others more metaphysical in nature.

- Why most movie have a 3-act structure and how to harness this in your own approach to stories
