The best way to establish your expert position!
Today, more than ever, people read nonfiction books and look up to their authors as trusted leaders and authorities.
If you have a business – selling products or services – writing (and publishing) a nonfiction book is a crucial step in building credibility, authority and expert position.
Writing a bestselling book might be on your bucket list for different reasons: strengthening your brand, boosting your business or simply sharing your knowledge.
And to get you started, let’s dive into…
Your Expert Position – Part 2
To get you started with the process, please watch this Business University lesson: WHY You MUST Write a Book:
Let’s start with your MINDSET…
WHY You MUST Write a Book?
In the video above I gave you MY top reasons why you should write (or more accurately – write AND publish) a book about your expertise…
It doesn’t matter what products or services you offer, a book is the most powerful way to establish your position as an expert.
You don’t ever have to sell any of your books, you just need to have them – as they serve as the best business card… EVER!
I’m pretty sure you, like most entrepreneurs, understand the power of having a published book under your name…
But you might have fears, doubts or preconceived ideas about book writing… Among them: “I can’t write”, “I don’t have the time”, “I don’t know enough”… and maybe others…
It’s not the space to give you long and elaborated answers for those – but let me tell you this:
- If you can speak – YOU CAN WRITE!
- If you can find 25 hours – THAT’S ALL IT TAKES TO WRITE A 200-PAGE NON-FICTION BOOK (using my system);
- If you have clients already – YOU KNOW ENOUGH TO SHARE IN A BOOK!
Please excuse my SHOUTING… but I’ve been teaching for many years hundreds of entrepreneurs how to write (and publish and market) a bestselling book in 28 days.
As much as we are aware of, almost 70% of my students actually wrote and published at least one book within less than 6 months after the course…
If they can do it… so can you.
For now, I don’t ask you to commit to writing and publishing a book, but I do ask you to go through the process of thinking of and researching the best topic for your first (or next) book.
Which leads us to…
Set your GOAL for this week…
Here’s a great goal for you:
I am going to identify the BEST topic for my Expert How-To Book.
How’s that for a 5-day challenge?
Choose the STRATEGY you will use…
Here is the 5-step process you could follow in order to identify the BEST topic for your expert how-to book:
- Find your compelling WHY
Why is it important for YOU to publish a (nonfiction/how-to) book on your topic of expertise?
Make sure that you watch the video for my ideas (some of them are not that obvious), but then make your own list; - Come up with topics you’d love to share about
Those are topics in your expertise that you know they can make a difference for your readers (i.e. potential clients); - Use a proven method to find even more topics
Read this article: How to Find Out Which Book to Write and pick up one method (preferably NOT #1 or #10) and use it to identify even more topics you could write about; - Use ANOTHER proven method to find even more topics
From the same article: How to Find Out Which Book to Write pick ANOTHER method (preferably NOT #1 or #10) and use it to identify even more topics you could write about; - Ask your clients and subscribers which topic they’d choose
But don’t just send them a random list…
First pick your 7-10 best topics.
Then write for each topic an exciting title and tagline.
Then ask them to choose the top 3 books they’d like to read and WHY (this is crucial).
Ready to get to work?
PLAN your actions in your agenda…
Your next step is to physically plan this process in your agenda.
Plan to invest 10-15 minutes EVERY DAY in the coming 5 days to follow the process above.
AND… You will need to reserve 2-3 hours next week to go over the answers you get.
Now it’s time to IMPLEMENT…
Take 10 minutes, right now, and…
- Day 1 – come up with at least 10 answers for why do you want to publish a book on your area of expertise;
- Day 2 – come up with at least 10 specific ideas for topics you’d love to write a book about;
- Day 3 – use one method from this article to identify even more topics you could write a book about;
- Day 4 – use ANOTHER method from this article to identify even more topics you could write a book about;
- Day 5 – choose your favorite 7-10 topics from all the topics you came up with in the last 3 days.
Imagine you already wrote a book on each of these topics and give each of them an exciting title AND tagline.
Contact your clients, subscribers and social media followers (by phone, email, facebook, LinkedIn, etc…) and ask them to choose their 3 favorite “books” and WHY they chose those.
In your next 2-3-hour Implementation Session – collect all the input you got and see if you have a clear winner.
When you have close runner ups – you can simply integrate those topics into the main book, or use them for your next books.
Each day share with us in the comment box your ideas, topics and actions.
My commitment to you…
- I’m looking forward to read your process and ideas below;
- I will be there for you on Wednesday to support you with any question, challenge or setback you encounter;
- I’m looking forward to celebrate your progress and results on Friday (I’m curious to hear the goal(s) and plan you’ll come up with).
Live fully, stay awesome,

Day 4 – use ANOTHER method
I combined everything on day 3.
However, interviewing other experts is also a method I would like. Since I have been a journalist all my working life and I am really interested in people and their drive. I like writing human interest stories. I would like to interview all kinds of people. Experts, but also ordinary people to ask them about sustainable living. What they do in their daily life. Show the public not only how easy it can be, but also how much fun it can be. I actually talked about it with a friend who does not have a lot of money. She discovered a way to eat for almost nothing and eat (forgotten) vegetables you can buy in season.

Day 3 – use one method from this article to identify even more topics
I really like the method of the fabel. I actually came up with an idea (fairytale) some time ago. Turns out I am not that original, since it alreay is a proven method.
I also like the method to write about something you yourself have experienced or a problem/solution you yourself came up with. I think writing about your own experience works best and makes your story more believable.
Everything you wanted to know about, like the xxx for dummies books. It is a really nice and clean method and you can save up questions. Like a Q&A.
I think you can show your audience you are struggling with the same problems, they are. It makes you human and it makes you more accessible.
I have been an entrepreneur since 1990. Enough struggles and problems and (bad) choices to write about.

The upper list is this one- and I will do that as soon as I finished this book! 😀

Last week's challenge to write a book: it is surely useful, but at this time not really applicable to me. Why I shoud write a book is to inspire people, and giving information, motivation, surprises. For it's important to gain more acknowledge and to see what I already know and what not yet. And leave a legacy. Chapters I can write of are there a lot, such as wise lessons I learned in my life, about all the regions in Bavaria, about the hidden gems in Bavaria, seeing this holidaydestination through the eyes of a Dutchman and more. Later on after my real start I ask the clients and market about it to help me what to choose.

---------------------------
Hoi!
Ik heb een supportvraag. Ik ben van plan om een boek te gaan schrijven en er is een hele reeks van opties die ik overweeg. Ik vraag wat mensen (die ik heel graag als lezer zou hebben) waar ze graag over willen lezen. Zou je mij willen vertellen welke 3 boekonderwerpen je aanspreken uit onderstaande lijst en waarom?
1. Het is het waard - Hoe je vanuit je waarden je trainingen ontwikkelt, deelnemers vindt en echte vooruitgang bereikt.
2. Diep van binnen - Coaching en training op basis van intuïtief weten. Hoe vertrouw je op jezelf, zodat je deelnemers stralen?
3. Het kwartje valt - Over het voeren van gesprekken op zo’n manier, dat je boodschap aankomt en je gesprekspartner tot nieuwe inzichten kan komen.
4. Veel meer dan praten - Een complete toolkit voor coaches waarmee ze het gewenste resultaat van hun klanten overstijgen.
5. Ride the wave - Hoe je de flow creëert waar je als ondernemer eindeloos in door kunt gaan. Creëer een golf van intuïtie en laat je meevoeren naar nieuwe bestemmingen.
6. Expres - Het is de bedoeling. Training design waarbij je overal aan denkt. Voor trainers op elk niveau.
7. Voedende rust - Ervaar stilte en ruimte in de drukte van het leven. In je hoofd, in je relaties, in je werk.
8. 60 minuten - Wat zou je kunnen bereiken met 1 extra uur in elke dag? Neem jezelf en je tijd weer serieus en maak tijd voor jezelf.
Je hoeft geen volgorde aan te geven. Maar ik hoor wel heel graag wat je aanspreekt. Waarom kies je voor deze boeken?

Hoi Max,
er zijn er een paar die er voor mij uitspringen.
3. Het kwartje valt. Zowel titel als subtitel zouden mij aanzetten om het van de boekenplank te pakken, in de
boekenwinkel.
4. Veel meer dan praten. Hier is vooral de subtitel nieuwsgierig makend PLUS de manier waarop je kunt overdeliveren.
6. EXpres, dit maakt nieuwsgierig omdat het als een soort formule klinkt.

You have there quite some books that just by their titles - for the right target audience - they’ll be irresistible…
Loved, loved #7… 🤗
329 comments
Thank you so much Nisandeh! 🙏
I am intrigued when you say: “for the right target audience” in combination with your favorite title Nr. 7…
Could I be correct in thinking that although title Nr. 7 addresses women, it actually attracts men? 🤗 That would be a counterintuitive but fascinating discovery!
718 comments
No… it’s clear that your title #7 is meant for women…
I just loved the title.

WOMB WEEK 11, AUGUST 31 2022, DAY 3/5
YOUR EXPERT HOW-TO BOOK
How to Find Out Which Book to Write? Method Nr. 5: Teach the Solution to the Problem You Solve
This method is about one's Personal Journey and has three main steps:
1. Identify a Real Pain that you had
2. Describe the Solution that you came up with
3. Answer the questions: Is this a problem for other people? Would they find my solution valuable?
Doing this method made me come up with 4 Main Pains/Personal Journeys/ Potential Book Topics:
I. How to survive and defeat Sleep Deprivation after the birth of your child
1. Pain: Extreme Sleep Deprivation to the point of burnout
2. Solution: Creation of a tailor-made day and night sleep routine for my baby based on her unique needs, personality, and family values
3. Answers: Yes. Yes: some moms are already following my advice/ tips after talking to them.
II. How to let go of an Impossible Love and make space for the One True Love <3
1. Pain: Extreme heartbreak of being "In love" with an impossible love (taken man). A dark chapter in my life.
2. Solution: Give it a place in your heart by truly letting go. The healing power of Journaling. Feedback Analysis Method: the juxtaposition of "Who I thought he was" VS "Who he really IS (shows to be)". (Re)Discover the true nature/meaning of Love and go for it!
3. Yes, Yes.
III. How to cure Apeirophobia, the phobia of Infinity and/or Eternity
1. Pain: Extreme anxiety and panic attacks (especially at night, starting in childhood)
2. Solution: Spiritual direction, diving into the topic of Eternity, reading great books like The Great Divorce by CS. Lewis. My insights from it all.
3. Yes. Although it is a problem for a small niche, I think it would be certainly valuable for them (need to validate that assumption though).
IV. How to lose weight and get in great shape through Bellydance
1. Pain: Distorted relationship with food, eating too much, unhealthy and disordered. Weight gain, loss of self-esteem.
2. Solution: Redesign yourself through Bellydance. Visualize your future self. Reconnect with your deeper emotions and put them in motion. Prepare a solo performance on stage by setting clear and achievable goals within a specific time frame.
3. Yes. Yes: my mother was the first success story of my method.
I am seriously excited about these four topics! Thank you Nisandeh for sharing this great method Nr. 5 🙂

Day 2 - Topics you’d love to write a book about
It's been two days of thinking of possible topics I'd love to write about, but I can only come up with 3. I can think of more possible book to write but those ideals I'll never do if you asked me now. (anger management, business-oriented, parenting, etc.)
1. How to implement martial arts training into your daily life
2. How to deal with (your) ego from a martial arts perspective
3. The fragile respect within martial arts
The martial arts world is a dangerous one to write books about. The first one gives the slightest possibility of having an adverse effect to establish an expert position through being an author. The second one would ruffle some feathers which would be fun for a second. The third one,... that can make or break me... could be fun. Let's see I get my first book done first.
Today in our accountability meeting Max came up with the idea to work more simultaneously on our books. So, that's what we are going to do.

Can I ask a question, Logan?
Since I don’t have your “permission” yet - feel free to ignore it, or do not answer it.
It seems to me that you’re very busy about the other figures in your martial arts world.
I understand that it might be a very competitive field, and maybe very ego and testosterone driven.
But why would you care what other think/say about you?
If you focus on a niche market, that no one else is serving (which you should) - they would never be influenced by what other “experts” are thinking or saying about you…
Or maybe I misjudge the situation completely.
(Just FYI - if I would be worried about what every single expert in Holland, including almost all the media that ever covered our programs had to say about me, my methods and my content - I would leave Holland a very long time ago with my tail between my legs…)

Hey Logan,
I would be interested to brainstorm/ investigate book number 2...
Besides working with projects I used to be, and since a month again, am a yoga teacher and meditation practcionar... Ego, and how to overcome it/ work with it is one of my main interests... (funny I didn't think about it at all till now for writing a book about)...
So if you would be up for it- lets have a brainy moment.
We could also put it in the brainstorm whatsapp group or so...

You’re a natural copywriter, Lola…
I enjoyed reading your titles and taglines.
Something to clarify, though…
If you have only one topic, there is no need to ask your clients/subscribers to vote on the title/tagline.
You do that after the book is ready.
The assignment of this week was to brainstorm different topics (can be closely related, but still different) and make them appear as real books (by creating a title & tagline to each of them) and then ask your audience which ones they’d want to read.
145 comments
Thank you Nisandeh! Yes indeed I will ask my audience to choose title and cover at the end, giving a couple options.
I'm very excited because writing is my passion but because I want many case studies in my book first I will take some time to gather success stories and results with my clients - as I am moving from mastermind facilitator to "mentor" I need to build the experience first... in the meantime I will be writing and publishing content that will assemble later into my book.

DAY 2 Topics
I have my topic: clarity, focus, organization and productivity for confused entrepreneurs who do not know where to start to make their business grow without procrastination or excuses.
Now I need a clear title that will convey the message…

Day 3 31-08-2022
– use a method from this article to identify even more topics you could write a book about;
I already notice this week's theme that I listen in topics to my customers and I share a few right away:
1. The ability to listen in a focused way. How do you do that?
2. How do you break a persistent pattern in which you are trapped? How do you do that?
3. Credibility: consider something important that others do not recognize in you. How do you work on credibility? By showing it!!!
4. Not knowing what they want because they don't know what's attractive to them.
5. Asking good questions starts with listening better.
6. How they turn in circles like a dog to bite their own tail.
7. The fear of making mistakes.
8. the fear of taking risks.
9. How their ego is the biggest enemy and holding them back.
10. The resistance that remains when they are made aware of what they are doing and fully understand how it can be done differently, but do not yet do it. Knowing it, but not doing it.
These are already 10 topics above that came up naturally in the last conversations I had.
I'm starting a Q&A page on my website.
The link to Amazon brings up three topics:
1. How do I create support (draagvlak)?
2. How do I create effective working relationships in the workplace?
3. Conversations that lead to maximum win-win
The best topic for me is of course the solution that worked for my problem:
If you don't know which direction you want to go: Discover your dominant core (authentic core) and authentic handprint and you have your vision and mission for the rest of your life. This method has brought me so much and works flawlessly every day. A method in which I still learn every day to better express my core: the title for this book:
1. Discover your why for a passionate life
I am open to write a book with other participants? Who wants that too?
276 comments
Day 3. Book topics.
So, I am delving into frequently asked questions for this one.
- How can I direct a group to follow me?

- How do I get to my goal of ....?
-- Finding clients
-- Developing a training
-- Making a website
-- Selling my training
-- Taking me time
- How do I handle everything going on in my life and not burn out?
- How can I experience rest? (REST would make for a great technology)
- How do I solve the petty things that stop me?
- How can I create an extra hour in the day?
- How do I choose what is important?
Then, frequently asked questions in the sphere of organising trainings? (The first one is frequently asked by me to the client...)
- What is the goal of this training/day/session/exercise?
- How do I create a game for this purpose? (GAME would also be a great technology)
-- teamwork
-- team building
-- recognising fears/doubts/resistance
- How do I get my clients to do their homework?
- How do I lead the group?
- How do I handle people who talk through me?
- How can I do things on time?

Week 11 - 3 or 5 which method
I wrote an ebook with Method #2 a year and a half ago. Things that managers find difficult about leadership. This ebook is based on frequently asked questions. I got more questions about this. In the training courses I give about leadership, I invariably ask the question what do you find difficult about leadership? And what is their main question about leadership and collaboration?
I have worked with method #9 and I will cooperate next year. I collaborated with two interviewers on the book The SECRET of the Municipal Secretary. I am now writing my books on leadership in administratively complex organizations with co-writer Pieter Parie. Tonight I hope to meet with Luc Donners to write the book about neglected municipal organizations together.
I have the audio/video footage of a lengthy interview I gave about contradiction to political administrators (Method #8). I'll have this converted into text and make an ebook. This method makes me think to give the workshops first and then make the books.
For now, method #2, organizing all the questions in a blue print for a book from the perspective of my ideal clients (directors of government organizations) and scheduling to come up with answers, seems like a nice job for next Friday.

Not to say it’s not an important topic, Max…
But do you have enough to say for a whole book about “keep your armpits dry in front of a group of people”?
This is actually not a joke, and not just for you - but for everyone…
There are tons of “how to” books out there that have 200 pages written, which could easily be summarized in one blog post…
Something to think about…

Day 3 – use one method from this article to identify even more topics you could write a book about;
I choose: 2. Answer Frequently Asked Questions. Having been in business for more than 20 years, this would be a great way to get people involved and really answer their questions. I would also ask my audience to check to see if I missed any important questions. By now I know the questions that get asked all the time. It is fun!

I like to write a magazine instead of a book. That makes it easier to give nice information incl. a lot of pictures. For example about: the Nat. Parcs, nice trips, beautiful castles and also good stories about the people.
And to make more than 1 per year. Is that okay?
That is for me the same compelling Why:
• To grow my business
• To build a list
• To show my expertise
• Get media attention
• Serve other people

This week's topic is more then what I can handle. I'm still at last weeks assignment.
However, fair is fair, i might need more books to my name and some paper versions of it as well.
So. How can I do this weeks topic? I planned on doing some masterclasses. I could use that material, write the first masterclass book this week, and present it as the book-syllabus of the course. Send a digital one, and give the printed version later on.
Why?
Marketing at live events, arouse curiosity, expert, clarity through writing, referral give away, income stream, funnel intro, tickets to next masterclass, go deeper then in the masterclass, get readers to register for free tool as leadgen.
What?
1. Inrichtingsplan Mistakes. Why they happen and how to avoid them.
2. Trust building through experiencifying the building permit process.
3. Parking lots of the future don't cost money, they make money.
4. Energy communities for real estate professionals: how to win the war for energy.
5. Kip of het ei: grensstellende mobiliteit
6. 11 must know building options for parking lots
7. Get the dimentions of vehicles right - version 2022
8. The oracle of Heverlee 2022: predictions in on traffic and urban development series
9. Use cases for big data in real estate trends
10. Blockchain in building permit procedures
11. How to know what assessment you need
12. How to design a docking bay area
13. 103 ridicuul arguments and how I countered them
14. Year seven - why any business owner starts doubting everything after 7 years of being in business
15. Growth method: what to do at each phase of a business's life (51 blog topics)
16. Nuggets of wisdom.
17. Wanted behavior. If you don't ask, you won't get.
18. Belgae settlement and road infrastructure.
20. The checklist mentality. How getting it right leads go doing it wrong in permit procedures.
So, next up is to make a poll and let clients know? Or are we supposed to be strategic about topics? Like related to expert topic, funnel material,...?

I have a 52 topics list for a blog, leading into an ebook, leading into a masterclass. On the topic of business growth. I don't find time to do them, but my hart is in them. I've been working on a similar 52 weeks list for building permits. My hart is a bit less in it 🙂 but the idea is solid. If I would not been swallowed by the automation work (great progress again this week) AND still serving clients 1:1 to keep the money coming in, I would spend all day doing marketing and selling. Including writing the blogs and ebooks.

Day 1 – think of at least 10 answers why you want to publish a book about your field;
1. Because the knowledge I have at home everyone should know.
2. It puts me in an expert or other view. Better than a business card. They will remember a book even if they don't read it.
3. Book and videos will give my story more decisiveness. Outside the position of myself.
4. Your writing gives me tremendous insights about myself and what I'm doing. And how I relate to what I write.
5. I was now thinking more of an online book and possibly a spoken version of it.
6. A book bicycle maker's land. That's how the title came in. For the cyclist and the bicycle repairman.
7. I'm so convinced that I have and will do it that I can't think of many reasons because I've already done it.
8. The step after writing the book wants to get into talk shows to be able and allowed to tell a story. Fits perfectly in the marketing promo story and to reach everyone who needs to know my story faster.

Cool topic, I've been on it for a while. Previously inspired by Nisandeh to write a book. It became a book about the peaks and valleys in my life. All use bicycle terms.
I felt the urgency that if only 1 person would read my book and I would help him or her with it, I would be okay with that.
A wonderfully beautiful process and indeed recommended. I finally wrote my book in 12 days 🙂
Also in this training often passed by and I feel a longing not to read books, as Nisandeh described, but to write the book yourself that you would like to read. At least that's how I understood it.
I also included it in the action tasks last week and so it's great that it now immediately comes up as a subject.
Also today I did not give a fishing card to a business conversation but my book. And people immediately talk differently. Weird but take advantage of it. Put all your doubts aside, everyone can write a book. ''
Let me know if you wanted to have my book. 🙂

day 1: why
- legacy
- for my children so they can read what their mother would say if they have conflicts with people or in their live
- sharing is caring
- authority / expert
- easy way to give away
- less time 'consuming'
- can help more people
- opening doors to lectures/theatre/movie
- expressing myself, my creative self
- give more in a theatre way and add value in the book as a handout and online trainings afterwards.
I wrote my book "Opgelost!" and published it last year. I'm very proud of it. That I took the next steps and put a 'deadline' for publishing it. To me it was the launch in the theatre. That kept me to my commitment and was the kick I needed. The book is now translated in English and I can use some maketingtools to get it more in the world. Thanks for the inspiration I got out of the movie!
Doing this exercise gives me also the opportunity to think again and write another one, keep it more simple and finish it sooner.

Why do I want to publish a book on my area of expertise
1. To make my life easy
- Less explaining
- Easier to get paid
- Easier to attract clients
2. To demonstrate my expertise
3. To open the conversation with other experts and potential clients
- I think reaching out to my ideal clients and asking them to review the book will be a very good way to start the conversation
- I am already working on establishing my expertise. Writing the book and contacting other experts will support this.
4. To have another front-end product
5. So I can sell more tickets to my front end trainings
6. It will be good for my ego (Max Hirschel, author, nice to meet you)
7. It will structure my knowledge
8. It will support my blog (and my blog will support my book)
9. It will allow for cooperations that are now outside of my reach ( I am thinking of national chains that could work with my book as well)
10. It is something I always wanted to do.
-- This I got out of the video -- (I had trouble watching the last few minutes on all my devices. If anyone has number 7 and 8 for me...)
11. You never ever have to explain what you are doing
-- Just give the book (I will call you in a week)
-- Call them back. Just don't ask if they read it.
2. A book becomes a client magnet.
-- Bring them to your opt-in or front end
3. You are the expert. (picture on the back cover)
-- If you wrote the book, you must know what you are talking about.
-- The car mechanic story. Just because everyone has that lying around, they become a recognised expert. Just think how it will feel to bring your car there.
4. It separates you from the crowd.
-- All coaches look the same. But when you have a book!!!!
-- The computer lawyer story. Nisandeh had her as a lawyer, as well as the companies he had trouble with. She just solved every problem without going to a court, with both parties paying.
5. Book is a media magnet. The press love new books.
6. Be invited to speaking gigs
7.

Day 1 29-08-22
– think of at least 10 answers why you want to publish a book about your field;
I knew this part would be coming sooner or later and immediately thought of this week's title pffffff. I have written and published four iBooks at Apple. The results of the sale or whether they contributed to my expert position have been disappointing so far. I don't doubt the necessity of having a book and maybe this is the step I need to write a physical good. Also for this week: I'm going there for 100 percent!
1. To share my knowledge and experience.
2. To provide a method that worked for me and may work for others.
3. That I help other people with this.
4. That the readers get to know the essence in order to connect with other people.
5. That the readers gain insight into who they want to be.
6. That the readers gain insight into how they influence the behavior of others.
7. That the readers gain insight into how they can motivate and inspire others.
8. That the readers learn to see and experience the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
9. That they learn the effect of circular thinking versus linear thinking.
10. That they grow in self-confidence by staying true to their most important values.
11. That they learn to see the difference between ego and authentic behavior.
12. That they learn the effect of their instinctive behavior on their habitual behavior.
13. That they grow in self-esteem as their credibility and being valued increase.
14. That they discover their dominant core and match their authentic style to it.
15. That they grow in attraction and increase their persuasiveness without ever having to convince others again.
16. That they learn to deal with the paradox that their behavior says little about their identity but that they are judged to the maximum by others.
17. That behavior says nothing about who you are, but everything about how others see you.
18. That they learn not to be led by pressure, but by their potential.
19. That the secret of leadership consists in getting to know your employees through and through.
20. That if you master the secret of leadership you know exactly what your employees need and that the behavior of employees is predictable and therefore easier to influence.
21. Knowing how to bring what others want closer to what they need.
22. That you learn to deal effortlessly with conflicting interests.
23. That you know how to ensure maximum win-win.
24. That you learn what you need to become a better leader.
25. That by reading the book you know how to get the most out of yourself as a leader.

This week I am going to focus on my expert position of being a mentor. From out this position I want to start a one on one retreat for my preferred clients. By inviting them to Spain for either a long weekend or a week retreat. In this period they will have their own apartment right in front of the sea. And I will guide them on 4 levels. Physical Mental Emotional and Spiritual level.
Why book
- [ ] To get a clear mindset about what I want to offer.
- [ ] To give my clientele a option to read the book before they come
- [ ] I’m going to give the book a very exclusive feel and look so my target audience know what they can expect.
- [ ] To make clear the exclusivity of the program
- [ ] So they can feel how much time and effort is put in to the invitation of coming for this retreat.
- [ ] Mentally prepare my client.
- [ ] To explain the philosophy behind the retreat.
- [ ] To make my clients feel special and welcome.
- [ ] To get questions answered before they come.
- [ ] Because voorpret is halfe pret. anticipation is half fun

Any inner reasons?

Yep, number 6!
And, inspired by your own answers, forcing yourself to really get to master a subject (get real clarity, structure it in the most logical way), would also be a good inner reason.
