<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Would you like to get more done without exerting as much energy? That’s exactly what having a system will help you do and what we are going to talk about today.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My name is Shelley Hitz and I’m here with my husband CJ Hitz. We have been mentoring writers for over a decade helping you self-publish your books in multiple formats using our publishing map and step-by-step system so that you can write words that outlive you and self-publish books that fulfill your calling.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In each of our trainings we promise to share at least one thing that will help you write, self-publish, and market your books so that the message of your books can impact lives.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today we’re going to talk about how systems can be YOUR secret sauce.</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What is a system? In the simplest form, it is a checklist you create for a repeatable task.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How does having a publishing system help? You save brain power because you don’t have to think about what to do next. You simply follow the checklist.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What is the best way to start using systems? Start writing down the steps of tasks you do often. Include the websites you need, copy/paste text you can reuse etc. In Christian Book Academy we provide a checklist for you for each stage of the Kingdom Writer’s Path. You can then adapt the checklist to the steps you take.</span></li> </ol> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Will you start using systems to save time and energy? It takes some upfront effort but is so worth it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m often asked how I get so much done and I say that systems are my secret sauce and now they can be yours too.</s
