Boss Your Book-Chapter 3: HOW DO I BEGIN
hikariwayChapter 3 – HOW DO I BEGIN? is the chapter that takes you out of overthinking and into authorship. This session breaks down the myth that there’s one perfect way to start a book — because there isn’t. Every author begins messy, uncertain, and honest. What separates dreamers from writers is not the method… it’s the decision.
In this chapter, Dr. Terri A. Simmons gives you a practical, no-pressure roadmap for beginning your book the right way: with a working title, a clear purpose, a defined promise, and a specific audience. You’ll learn how to choose your lane, shape your message, and create a simple Table of Contents using the easiest method in the world: list-making.
From chapter structure, to book flow, to writing techniques, Terri walks you through every step with humor, clarity, and CEO-level guidance. You’ll discover exactly how to pull your ideas together, how to turn scattered thoughts into organized chapters, and how to get words on the page without fear, confusion, or perfectionism slowing you down.
This chapter is your blueprint, your shortcut, and your “Yes, I CAN do this” moment. By the end, you won’t just understand how to begin — you’ll WANT to.
