And I had an epic fail.\n\nFirst. I got the recording going on one device, but not on the other. And then the second time, the opposite device got the recording the third time.\n\nGuess what happened? The recording system I selected didn't work at all on one of the devices. And I only had my video recorded on each of the devices separately, but at different times.\n\nI didn't have simultaneous recordings. And this is, this brings up a good point. The whole reason for, well, one of the reasons for using two cameras, what if you did the most brilliant speech ever, and you thought it was being recorded and it turns out there was a failure, an equipment failure, a human error, or a combination of the two or all three. And your speech was a one-time only event, and not capturing your brilliance is disappointing. \n\nFor the sake of transparency, I am recording on my iPad and using the built-in camera on my desktop computer.\n\n\nWhy share your story? \nWhy is now the time to tell people what you've learned?\n\nYou wrote a book that was the point. You wrote a book, so you could share your story. And it's giving in a lot of different contexts, whether it's giving back, it's giving information, you are giving something of yourself by sharing your story.\n\nSomething I learned a long time ago from one of my mentors Jim Horan, author of The One-Page Business Plan. Every time he would give away a book, he would give away two books. He wanted to give something to the person who said, yes, they wanted it.And he wanted to encourage people to learn what he learned and to give that knowledge away. \n\nBeing generous is not being foolish. It's a way to promote what you know.\n\nMy friend, Joel Friedlaender, did something similar with his books. When he published his first non-fiction book, he gave away about 500 copies.\nThe intention of not only sharing the content and a way to encourage people, to share the content with others.\n\nAnd maybe you've had a lot of hiccups like I did today when recording. You tried something and it didn't work. And now you're sharing your story about what you did, the goofs, and how you resolved them.\n\nYou get to reveal secrets. Everybody wants to be an insider. Sharing what you know in a way that surprises and delights people, it's a gift you're giving of yourself.\n\nYour book is a message. It is a way to influence people. And it is such a beautiful thing. I, I love the idea of giving information in the form of a book. Consider your book a gift and way to help others.\nBooks are not just words on paper. It's your website, your YouTube channel, LinkedIn profile. It is the posts that you have on Instagram, or Facebook, or Twitter or Tik Tok, or whereever you are sharing content.\n\nYour book can live beyond the confines of a printed page.\n\nI help busy women business owners reach more readers, get more book reviews, and increase revenue.\n\nYou can get more bang from your book without spending a fortune or going crazy. \nJoin me at https://bookmarketingmentor.com \n\nSign up to get more bang for your book.\n\nI'm Judy Baker, Book Marketing Mentor, and I'm here to help you reach the people you want to influence and share your story."}
