Your book is your best business card

Assalamu'alaikum,

Many people think publishing a book in a world distracted by social media is not worth it.

Trust me - it's worth it!

In January 2016, my book "The Productive Muslim: Where Faith Meets Productivity" was released. And even though it didn't start with a bang - yet alhamdulillah, over the last seven years, I've seen tremendous ROI from the book, including:

1. It established me as an author.

2. It established my credibility as a ‘productivity expert.’

3. It catalyzed me to go full-time into running The Productive Muslim Company.

4. It got me invited to several international conferences and corporate workshops.

5. Till today, it's my best business card!

On more than one occasion, I had a person read the book and then email me asking me how to attend my online programs or if I could run a private workshop for their company/family.

I'm sharing this with you because if you doubt whether going through the pain and effort of writing a book is worth it - I'm here to tell you that it is worth every step.

Even if you argue that your book might not be super popular - let's assume a worst-case scenario and only 100 people read your book. It'll still be worth it because it will::

1. Establish yourself as an author

2. Establish your credibility in your topic since you wrote a book on it

3. Leave a lasting legacy of beneficial knowledge that at least your children/grandchildren can benefit from.

Don't underestimate the power of publishing a book, and if you're interested in writing a book, then join me this Saturday for a webinar on "How to publish your spiritual self-help book in 12 months or less," where I'll cover:

• The importance of nurturing more Muslim self-help authors

• My journey as an author (the good times and bad times)

• Why writing a book is within your reach, even if you don't consider yourself a writer

• The common excuses people use to avoid writing and how to overcome them

• An insight into the systematic process of transforming an intention into a published book

• The next steps if you're ready to dive into our upcoming book-writing masterclass

I look forward to having you on Saturday and us working together towards your next book insha'Allah.

Sincerely,
