The Top 5 Objections Aspiring Authors Have and What’s Really Behind Them

Ever heard yourself say these things when thinking about writing your book?

Let’s unpack what might really be going on and how our support is designed to help you move forward with ease and purpose.

1. “I don’t have time right now.”

What you’re really saying: “I’m overwhelmed and afraid I won’t follow through.”

Underlying fear: Starting the book might add stress instead of bringing relief.

We get it, your schedule is already full. That’s precisely why our approach is designed to work with your life, not against it.

With a flexible structure and high-touch support, you’ll never feel alone or left behind. Whether it’s the focused accountability of SGTD or the weekly handholding in BYB, you’ll make steady, sustainable progress that honours your current season. You don’t need more pressure, you need support that meets you where you are. That’s what we offer.

2. “I don’t know what to write about.”

What you’re really saying: “I have ideas, but I’m afraid they’re not good or organised enough.”

Underlying fear: Fear of being judged or wasting time writing the “wrong” book.

You’re not starting from scratch. You’re starting from a deep well of lived experience, values, and vision. Inside BYB, we walk you through a clarity-driven process to help uncover and shape your message into a book that truly reflects your voice and purpose.

Whether rooted in personal growth, professional expertise, or spiritual insight, we help you craft a message that resonates with your ideal audience and supports your broader mission.

3. “It’s too expensive / I can’t invest right now.”

What you’re really saying: “I’m not yet convinced this will bring a clear return.”

Underlying fear: That this is a “nice-to-have,” not a business asset.

But here’s the truth: this isn’t just a personal project. It’s a strategic brand asset. Our clients have used their books to attract aligned clients, increase visibility, land speaking opportunities, and create evergreen products. Your book becomes a long-term tool that builds credibility, nurtures trust, and works for you — even when you’re offline. If you’re already making an impact, it’s time your message had a permanent, powerful home.

4. “I’m not a ‘real’ writer.”

What you’re really saying: “I’m afraid I won’t do my message justice.”

Underlying fear: Impostor syndrome.

The truth? Your voice matters more than perfect writing. Our framework is designed to support your process, from idea to manuscript, step-by-step. You bring the story, the insight, the vision. We help you shape it into a book you’ll be proud of.

5. “I don’t know if now’s the right season.”

What you’re really saying: “I’m waiting for the perfect moment.”

Underlying fear: Taking action might expose gaps or stretch you emotionally or spiritually.

There may never be a “perfect” time, but there’s always barakah starting with intention, structure, and sincere support. We help you write with clarity, balance, and peace of mind.

If any of these resonated with you, it's time to explore a supported path to finishing your book, at your pace, with your voice, and with complete integrity.

Your message matters. Let’s birth your book.
