It was a mini-masterpiece, that book, in my memory. It had chapters. Pictures. A story. It even had covers and a binding, of sorts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI discovered, before I ever heard of the wonderful Sir Terry Pratchett, that writing is the most fun you can have by yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have no idea what happened to that book, but I do know this: it kicked off a lifelong love affair with writing. So obviously I didn't write another book for more than twenty-five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI spent a lot of time thinking about writing a book, and talking about writing a book, and not writing a book...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil, one day, I stood in front of a roomful of other business owners and boldly declared, \"I will write a book all about my business and how I can help my customers. And not only that, I will write it in ninety days! Hiiiiiiii-ya!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Imagine me performing an overenthusiastic karate chop, and beaming like an elephant with a hosepipe.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunny thing about saying stuff in front of people you respect and admire-you kind of have to deliver on it or risk looking a total twit. So, three months later, I turned up clutching my shiny new book in my sweaty little hands-which is when the real work began.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause, my fine feathered friend, we're not in the business of writing books for the sake of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI don't teach business owners to write books only to help you get your name in print (although it is pretty gorram amazing when your books arrive).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd I'm not doing it only to help you \"get published\", either. Nope; I help business owners write books because I know if you write your book, and use it to its fullest potential, it could change your world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWords change worlds.

It doesn't mean solving world poverty right now. It doesn't mean changing an unjust law overnight. All those things do transform the world, for sure-but they start with one tiny beetle step. Maybe with a book something like the one hibernating inside your head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaybe by changing one person's life in a small way, you can set off a chain of events that'll change the world in a bigger way.
