I'm basically giving myself 25 days to get in the right mindset to do this. It's time to kick things up a notch.
I work best under pressure. Usually, when I write a new book, I pre-sell advanced copies so I can have the pressure of external expectations. Therefore, I had to find a way to create the same sort of pressure to make my pursuit of fame more achievable. So just as I pre-sell books, I decided to pre-sell my achievement.
The strategy goes like this:
I start the book and include enough preliminary information to make it a guide
I use this book as my media kit; every person who gets it has a media kit inside
I add more content and develop it in real time on my blog
People download the book and visit the blog
People visit the site to see how I'm doing and to get tips to achieve their own fame
Their interest helps me achieve my own goal of fame
Thus, my book on how I'm becoming famous becomes a key component in a viral marketing campaign which helps me achieve the very fame I'm pursuing, and which I purport to be able to help others achieve. Genius, I tell you! Simply genius!
For me it's a way to be accountable. I work better with deadlines
and pressure. So it's a way to commit and have that external pressure
to succeed. And it has the built-in feature of having the readers themselves
participate in the fame they're watching me create.
As a coach, it's the best way to lead by example and
show others the level of commitment necessary to achieve
one's goals.
I'm still working on the preliminary stuff. I'll be able to start the non-existence formula in earnest when I have the blog, the book, the press release, postcards, media kit all in place.
