Learn the Basics

Dear New Member,

You've got a lifetime of stories inside your mind that are yearning to be unleashed. I'm here to help you tell those stories and it won't cost you a cent. Keep in mind each person is unique and your set of experiences may seem uninteresting to you, but I can assure you that there's at least someone out there who wants to hear what you have to say.

I am going to teach you how to take simple steps and establish routines for recording your life stories and maintaining your memoirs. This system will work for anyone; it doesn't matter if you can spell correctly, use proper grammar, type or even hold a pen. You can do this, you just needed someone to hold your hand through the initial process, offer you a bit of guidance and encourage you through this worthwhile endeavor.

The voices that you hear in your head keep telling you that you're not a writer or that your life experiences are not interesting enough to be published! Well I'm going to silence those thoughts and replace them with words of encouragement, strategic suggestions on getting your story told and providing you with an audience to speak to!

Please hang in there with me. Everything I do is going to help you replace those voices that put you down. I am here to lift you up and celebrate every little accomplishment. You have a story to tell and I'm committed to helping you tell it.

Sincerely,

Your very first step is to tell me why you're here reading this page right now. Don’t listen to those voices that tell you that this step doesn't really matter. This is exactly what is needed to get you started and keep you motivated through the whole process. Take this simple step in faith and go do it. Here is where you can give your explanation.

Day 1:

Tell me why you are here.

Answer here: http://memoirs-by-me.blogspot.com/2008/07/tell-me-why-youre-here.html

After you do this, you'll make a copy of what you wrote (either print it out, re-type it on your computer, or handwrite it out) and post it on your bathroom (or bedroom) mirror. Then, whenever you look in that mirror, you will be reminded of why you started this venture and see that I'm here to help you every step of the way. This mounted message is how I get to encourage you each day!

My MBM Coaching Program is all about establishing a writing (or recording) routine, giving you some basic guidelines, and encouraging you to go the distance with your goals. You can do this!

Now that you have completed that very important first step, here is a list of the rest of the Basic Steps. Do not jump ahead and try to get them all done at once, simply go to the next step each day and complete it. You can do this!!
