In that time he has built an email list of over 300,000 subscribers, and he recently wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/7Xusr\"><em>Willpower Doesn&#8217;t Work<\/em><\/a> about how to proactively shape our environment and evolve into the person we want to become. And he&#8217;s done all of this while getting his Ph.D. from Clemson.<br \/>\n<strong>WHERE TO FIND HIM: <\/strong>On <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@benjaminhardy\">Medium<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BenjaminPHardy\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/58MRanA\">Amazon<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjaminhardy.com\/home-page\">his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Let\u2019s start with the basics: What time of day do you start writing?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually between 7:30-8:00 AM.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you have any pre-writing rituals or habits?<\/h3>\n<p>I wake up between 5:00-6:00am, get in my car, write in my journal about my goals and life. My car is a scared space where I know it will be peaceful. Eventually, the journal writing makes its way to the topics I want to write about that day. Then, after about 20-30 minutes in my journal, I go to the gym and work out. By the time I get home, I am in the mental state to create.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you write every day? Or do you write in spurts or only when there is a specific project? Do you have a sense of how much of what you produce ever sees the light of day?<\/h3>\n<p>I am very tough on myself and the kind of person I am, but I am not hard on my writing. Rather, I believe that my writing is a reflection of me and my state. If I&#8217;m in a peak state, my writing will be good. If I&#8217;m not in that state, I don&#8217;t write. Because of this, almost everything I write sees the light of day. My wife hates that I don&#8217;t spend more time agonizing about the way I say things but I like my writing to be personal. I don&#8217;t write everyday. Probably 1-2 times per week.<\/p>\n<h3>What was the best money you ever spent as an author?<\/h3>\n<p>I paid $197 on Jon Morrow&#8217;s online courses that taught me how to write viral headlines. I got only ten minutes into that course before I was so anxious to apply the principles that I got started with my first blog articles. I never finished the course but the investment coupled with the topic launched me into my writing career.<\/p>\n<p>Second, I hired Ryan Holiday to help me write my book proposal for <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/7Xusr\"><em>WILLPOWER DOESN&#8217;T WORK<\/em><\/a>. Writing a book proposal was a completely foreign task for me and his guidance was invaluable.<\/p>\n<h3>Everyone says that the first step to being a good writer is to read good writer\u2019s\u2019 writing. What do you read? How much do you read? Do you have a favorite author, perhaps someone you try to emulate?<\/h3>\n<p>Most of my reading is in the form of audio books with my journal close by. That way I can quickly translate how the dots connect in my mind when I hear something. I will also listen to the same book 2-3 times in a row when I like what I read.<\/p>\n<p>I read a blend of non-fiction. My foundation is religious material, as a Christian, my personal development has a much deeper purpose when based in my religious beliefs. In addition, I consume psychology, medical research, books on addiction, and general self-improvement.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really have anyone I&#8217;m trying to emulate right now, but <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/EtOB7H\">Steven R. Covey<\/a> is my ultimate mentor. I can always go back to his writing and be inspired. The principles he taught are timeless and continue to guide me.<\/p>\n<h3>In the past two years you\u2019ve managed to go from 0 to 300,000 email subscribers, build a following of hundreds of thousands on Medium.com, and sign a book deal with a major publisher. Your book is <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/7Xusr\"><em>Willpower Doesn\u2019t Work<\/em><\/a>. If it wasn\u2019t willpower that helped you achieve that level of success, what was it? What would be your advice to someone in your position two years ago that wants to follow a similar path? What from your research have you found easiest to implement to start writing more NOW?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s not WILLPOWER at all. Willpower is the reason I didn&#8217;t start sooner.<\/p>\n<p>How was I able to do it? I had no other choice. At least, that&#8217;s how I felt. I started writing online shortly after I became a foster parent of 3 kids. With the new responsibility of being a parent, I knew it was time for me to provide for them and set an example for those kids of working hard and going after your dreams.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn&#8217;t enough though. Then I stated INVESTING in my writing skills. I spend $800 to get my domain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjaminhardy.com\/home-page\">benjaminhardy.com<\/a>. That was a HUGE financial investment for my wife and I. We couldn&#8217;t believe we were going to spend so much money on a domain name.<\/p>\n<p>When you start investing in yourself, you become committed. That&#8217;s the advice I wish I had taken 7-8 years ago. It would have gotten me moving much faster.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the biggest reason people\u2019s writing doesn\u2019t find an audience? What are common traps you see aspiring authors fall into?<\/h3>\n<p>Most authors never learn marketing. And they don&#8217;t have what I believe to be the 3 keys to good non-fiction writing:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> You must be a good communicator<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> You must know your subject matter really, really well (head knowledge)<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> You must have deep emotional conviction about your subject matter (heart knowledge)<\/p>\n<p>You combine these 3 things and that makes for good writing. Without the emotional side, the writing feels academic and not compelling. With only the emotion, it feels purely opinionated. But when you can write in an emotional and persuasive way, and then back up what you&#8217;re saying with credible sources, then it&#8217;s very believable and convincing.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you find your writing routine changes when writing your short-form work on platforms like Medium versus your longer form book? Which do you prefer?<\/h3>\n<p>I prefer writing short-form because it&#8217;s easier. Blogs are under less scrutiny and easier to organize. When I wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/7Xusr\"><em>Willpower Doesn&#8217;t Work<\/em><\/a>, the toughest part was not writing it, it was organizing it. I went through several drafts where the ideas were in completely different orders.<\/p>\n<p>However, I prefer writing books because you can go much deeper, and I like having chapters and sections all focused on a larger idea.<\/p>\n<p>But yes, my routines and different for each. I see writing articles as a hobby, and writing books like a job. It&#8217;s a lot harder to write books.<\/p>\n<h3>You have a lot of other projects you do. You\u2019re working on your PhD, you are the foster father of 3, and <a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/7Xusr\">your book is coming out<\/a> this Spring. What is your methodology for prioritizing? How do you make sure you have time to write with all the other important things (and distractions) that are vying for your attention?<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to writing articles, if I don&#8217;t get it done before 9:00 AM, it won&#8217;t get done. Life takes over. I like to get up early and avoid the distractions of the morning (phone, news, email, etc.). If I can do that well, I know that I will be done by 2:00 PM and ready to be a full time dad. I like to pick my kids up from school and spend the afternoon with them during their free-play and homework. In the evenings, I like to spend time with my wife and get to bed early. Sometimes work requires more time of me but every day in my calendar 4:00-7:00 PM is blocked off for my family so they can count on me then. We have to put first things first. Relationships are first. First, my relationship with my family, my friends, my church, and then my readers.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3843\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\">Ready to create a writing routine of your\u00a0own?<\/h3>\n<p id=\"504c\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Sign up now and receive our free guide \u201c<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/writingroutines\/writing-routines-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/writingroutines\/writing-routines-pdf\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">12 Essential Writing Routines To Help You To Craft Your Own<\/strong><\/a><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"c32d\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Learn from the routines of superstar authors\u00a0<em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Stephen King, Gertrude Stein, John Grisham, Ernest Hemingway, Neil Gaiman, and many more.<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"43d1\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p graf--trailing\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/writingroutines\/writing-routines-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/writingroutines\/writing-routines-pdf\">Get the free guide here!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAME: Benjamin Hardy CLAIM TO FAME:\u00a0Benjamin is the #1 writer on Medium and has been for over two years, where his articles have accumulated 50 million combined pageviews.
