You Were Born to Make a DifferenceIf you want to write a best-selling book that makes a difference in people’s lives, you need to write the RIGHT book. Once your book has been written at least half of your opportunities to help people are gone — too late or impossible to implement. To make the biggest impact possible with your book in terms of revenue and lives touched, you need to learn the DIFFERENCE Process, 10 steps to writing a book that matters.This book is for people who are serious about making a difference in the world. In it, author Angela Lauria, The Author Incubator, teaches you: <ul>
<li>The truth about why you have been procrastinating in getting your book done (Note: It’s probably not what you think and it’s actually good news!)</li>
<li>How to develop an audience that pays $20 or less for your book, but then spends $20,000 or more to go deeper with you.</li>
<li>The reason most books fail… to sell and fail to change people’s lives and how you can avoid wasting your time on that kind of book.</li>
<li>The difference between people who are ready to write but just scared and those who have no business writing a book.</li>
<li>How to guarantee you will have all the time you need to write your book without ever stressing about it again.</li>
<li>And much, much more.</li>
</ul>********************************************************The DIFFERENCE ProcessD - Define your Audience.I - Identify your Voice.F - Frame your Outcome.F - Focus Your Author Mojo. E - Envision Your Success.R - Release Your Blocks.E - Establish your Author Feeling State.N - Nurture your Manuscript.C - Create your Masterpiece.E - Expand your Reach.************************************************************Sample:How many $20k clients would you need to have the business you want? 5 a year? 10?Did you know that when you write a book that makes a difference, you create opportunities to help people far beyond a single book sale?Most authors don’t. Most first-time authors are focused on two things: sharing the information they have (or telling the story they want to tell), and making money from their book sales.Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.Neither of these objectives will get you money or a book that makes a difference.Writing a book that matters is not for the weak-willed or self-indulgent. Writing a book that matters is about stepping into your own power and standing up to serve.There are other types of books you can write. You can write a book for self-expression or as a creative outlet, and I am not judging either of those decisions. The commitment I have made for my life is to serve authors who truly want to help people who are in pain, and who are willing to get out of their own way to do it.If you can make that commitment to your reader – to serve them first above all else – then I can teach you how to write a book that will sell, and that will attract readers who want to go deeper with you

In this down-to-earth American narrative, Margaret Fletcher recounts her life's journey, with all its hard-won wisdom, for her granddaughter. This is the inspiring story of a determined human being who was able to transcend family hardships, including her mother's illness and suicide, and go on to have a remarkable career as a top surgeon. Endowed with a strong sense of purpose, Margaret Fletcher came of age in the 1950s and 60s. She recounts stories of growing up on a farm in upper Michigan, leaving home at the age of 16, getting herself through medical school, raising a family, building a career, and finally confronting her own darkness and illness. By claiming the writer's role as one of an explorer of personal experience, she manifests for her granddaughter, and for all who read her book, a portrait of growing and changing with enduring love.

Witty, observant, and full of cringe-worthy confessions and heartwarming encouragement, Confessions celebrates both running and life. Part Bridget Jones, part Forrest Gump, Dana Ayers chronicles her awkward mishaps and adventures in transitioning from childhood bookworm to accidental accomplished athlete. Over the last ten years, Ayers has completed a vast array of races. She runs them all while admittedly not getting much faster, much thinner, or much more disciplined—though she has managed to be on national television, split open her pants, and get electrocuted. Ayers intersperses her hilarious yet relatable struggles with insights about how and why she keeps running. A self-proclaimed ambassador of slow runners, Ayers has completed dozens of endurance challenges, including Tough Mudder, the Ragnar Relay, Muddy Buddy, Warrior Dash, Run Amuck, the Army Ten-Miler, the Country Music Marathon, and many more mud runs, obstacles courses, and races. Her race descriptions will entertain seasoned runners and non-runners alike. Woven into the chaos of her running adventures is compassionate reassurance for anyone who feels like they aren’t fast enough, athletic enough, or strong enough to finish a tough race. Though told with humor, Confessions’ stories share an underlying theme of Ayers’ serious reverence for the sport of running and the running community. Ayers describes experiences such as participating in a 1,000-mile relay for Boston Marathon bombing victims, and being overcome by emotion while observing wounded veterans struggling to finish a race. Her stories prove how life-enriching it can be to physically fight for something and to cheer on others who are doing the same. For anyone who has considered trying a marathon, an obstacle race, or simply taking up running for the first time, Ayers is your ambassador. If she can do it, you can too.
