How I Wrote A Book in 40 Days

Welcome to my blog,

Today I will share how I wrote a life changing book in 40 days. But first let me tell you who I am:

My name is Peter Jumrukovski and I have always been the underdog who refused to give up.

• In middle school I was overweight and had no friends - so I found my strength in Karate.
• In high school I couldn't attract the girls - so I decided to develop myself.
• In karate I had no talent - so I decided to train harder than the rest and after 20 years of training I became a World Medalist.
• The original manuscript for The Goal Book was turned down by almost all publishers - but I never gave up and 18 months after writing my book it finally got published and The Goal Book is now one of the most sold self development books in Sweden and is also available in English in the US. Today I also released my second book in Swedish; No Regrets: 7 Steps to the Life you Dream About (original title: Ångra inget - 7 steg till livet du drömmer om) on March 21 - 2016.

If a regular guy like me can succeed, so can you!

Ok, that was a little bit about me. By the way I recently packed my bags and left everything in Sweden to come all the way to Marina Del Rey, California.

OK, so how did I write a book in 40 days?

Me + My Book + Shipwreck Zakynthos

After I got fired I finally got the courage to go after what I have wanted for so long. I wanted to inspire and guide people to succeed better in sports, business and life. I figured that in order to get speaking gigs I needed to have a book, that would make me sound smart, right?

I also wanted to see if my success tools would work on a new area like writing a book. I set the bar high and figured that when I didn't had any backup plan anymore it was either go hard or go home.

The Goal looked like this:

Goal: Write a book about Goalsettings in 40 days.

• 100 pages in Word text size 12 (I googled it and found out that about 100 pages will be 160 pages in a book)

100 pages divided by 40 days = 2,5 pages a day.

Every day I walked to the beautiful library in Halmstad (Sweden), ordered a Cappuccino with a doubleshot of espresso and began to write.

Was it easy every day?
No!

Did I do it?
Yes, I did!

By being disciplined and taking small steps (2,5 pages) every day I succeeded to write my book. How I got my book published is whole nother story.

The result became The Goal Book, who is currently one of the most sold books in self development in Sweden and also recently published in the US.

To be totally honest with you, I am surprised that I succeeded, but I did it by implementing the same strategies I did as an athlete and the same strategy that I write about in The Goal Book. If a regular guy like me can succeed, I am certain that you can too. 

All you need to do is find the tools that works for you and get started.

If you need some help, you should try reading my book The Goal Book. 

​Or if you want why not take my FREE Goal Setting Challenge. After completing it I will even give you the first two chapters of my book for free.

Anyways, enough about me.

What's up with you?

What are you dreaming about?

Maybe you also want to write a book or travel the world, or starting your own business.

Whatever it is, you can do it! I believe in you. It's time for you to believe in yourself.

Until next time...
