Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> What if the stories we've been told about success are wrong? <br> <br> <br> <br> What if you could unlock secrets that shave years off your writing journey? <br> <br> <br> <br> In this interview, Ron Friedman demystifies the writing process and introduces a surprising path—a fast track, if you will. He says "it is the path by which so many writers and artists and inventors and entrepreneurs have succeeded."<br> <br> <br> <br> What's the path?<br> <br> <br> <br> Reverse engineering.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> https://youtu.be/agCtQaSQfXw<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> To reverse engineer, we start with extraordinary projects and work backward to figure out how those writers pulled it off.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> "By comparing the ordinary against the extraordinary," Ron says, "we can't help but identify the elements that make extraordinary work succeed, and thereby improve our skills."<br> <br> <br> <br> With this book Decoding Greatness (June 2021), Ron hopes to offer "tools to not just execute at a higher level, but to embrace some of those dreams they've abandoned from their youth." <br> <br> <br> <br> Listen to our conversation for practical insights you can apply right away. When you hear and implement his ideas, your approach to writing will never be the same. <br> <br> <br> <br> You will, after all, learn the secret—the fast track—to writing success!<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Resources <br> <br> <br> <br> * <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.decodinggreatnessbook.com/" target="_blank">Decoding Greatness website </a>* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.ronfriedmanphd.com/" target="_blank">Ron Friedman, PhD's website</a>* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://amzn.to/34TKvSh" target="_blank">Decoding Greatness on Amazon</a> (affiliate link)* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://bookshop.org/a/4084/9781982135799" target="_blank">Decoding Greatness on BookShop</a> (affiliate link)* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://annkroeker.com/2017/06/27/copywork-grownups/" target="_blank">Learn from the Best: Copywork for Grownups</a>* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://annkroeker.com/2017/06/20/ep-106-learn-from-the-best-imitate-but-dont-plagiarize/" target="_blank">Learn from the Best: Imitate but Don't Plagiarize</a>* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://annkroeker.com/2017/06/06/ep-104-learn-from-the-best-the-book-is-yours-when-you-write-in-its-margins/" target="_blank">Grow as a Writer: Surround Yourself with Excellence</a>* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://annkroeker.com/2016/08/02/62-when-youre-not-the-writer-you-want-to-be/" target="_blank">When You're Not the Writer Your Want to Be</a><br> <br> <br> <br> ______________________________<br> <br> <br> <br> Ready to write a book, but you can’t quite articulate your idea?<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Join the FREE 3-day challenge: Craft Your Book’s Big Idea, and you’ll finally put words to the idea you long to write.<br> <br> <br> <br> In just three days, you’ll nail your book’s big idea (and generate a working title)!
