(Raise your hand proud.)<!--more--><\/div>\n<div>That used to be me, too.<\/div>\n<div>Most of you gave  up on that dream because of fears that it takes too much time and effort  &#8212; or fears that your ideas aren&#8217;t good enough &#8212; or that writing a  book is just too large an undertaking.<\/div>\n<div>Here, you&#8217;re  going to discover that none of that is true.<\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;m Beth Barany. And I&#8217;m ready to get started.

The  most powerful 15 minutes of your life are the ones you  spend doing   what you\u2019re here for, what you\u2019re meant to do. I\u2019m talking about your   passion, your message, your way of touching the  world.<\/div>\n<div>Develop your daily writing habit as simply as you make your  daily cup of coffee. In fact, make your coffee, then sit down to write  for just 15 minutes. Surprise yourself by writing what&#8217;s actually in  your head. Talk to your audience as your fingers tap across the  keyboard, or scribble across the page.<\/div>\n<div>And, breathe.
