Not really developed, I have no idea what my book is going to be about.

I have too many book ideas and I don’t know the best one to go with. I don’t have clarity on my book idea.

I have a book idea, and I’m pretty sure that’s what I want to move forward with

I’m super clear on my book idea. I decided on one book idea to go with, and I’ve done some research to validate my book idea.

I’ve got no idea who would want to read my book.

I’ve got a rough idea of who my target audience is.

My book is based on my personal life/field of expertise, so I’d say I’m pretty familiar with the audience.

I know my audience in and out. I’ve carried out extensive research to highlight their needs, pain points, and desires.

Not at all, I’ve not even thought of what my book outline would look like.

I’ve got out rough idea of how I want to outline and structure my book, but I’ve not put anything on paper yet.

I’ve got a draft of my book outline on paper. I’ve listed the chapters of my book.

I’ve got a detailed book outline on paper with a synopsis for every chapter.

Not yet, I haven’t made any plans to start writing my book

I’ve bought a journal or created a .doc file for my book, but I haven’t started writing anything yet

I’ve written a few paragraphs for the first few chapters of my book (less than 2,000 words in total)

I’m more than halfway through writing my book (more than 10,000 words)

I hate writing; it takes up so much time, and I’ve got a busy schedule. I wish there were a way to complete my book using my own words without having to write.

I don’t mind writing, but I’m pretty busy, so I can’t really dedicate much time to it.

I quite like writing, and I’ve got some free time to write.

I love writing!

What’s that?

No, but I plan on doing that once I’m done writing my book

I’ve already got ideas on how I want to launch and market my book.

Yes, I have a timeline of when I want to publish and launch my book. I know how I want to launch it. I have a goal of how many copies I want to sell in the first 6 months. I know the bestseller lists I want my book to land on.

No. Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. The whole process seems quite complicated

Not in detail, but I’ve got an idea of what I need to do.

Yeah, I know what I’m going to do.

Yes, I’m super clear on the exact steps I need to take in the next 3 months to move forward with my book.

I’m a pretty hands-on person. I want to be involved in every single aspect of writing a publishing my book.

I want to be pretty hands-on with writing my book. But I’d like someone to handle all the technical stuff when it comes to formatting, marketing, and publishing the book.

I’d like to be fairly involved in the process.

I don’t want to be really involved. I wouldn’t mind hiring a ghostwriter to write my book and outsource the publishing to a third-party company.

I don't want to build a following

No one really knows who I am or what I offer.

I have some market visibility and a pretty decent following, but I want more.

I am pretty well known in my industry, to my peers, and my target audience.

To be honest, I'm not really bothered if I complete my book or not.

I mean, I’d like to complete my book, but my motivation to do that is honestly not that strong.

I'm motivated to write my book, but sometimes I hold myself back.

I'm willing to push myself to do new, scary things to complete my book.

Not at all, I’ve never even written a full-length article or blog post

I don’t have much writing experience

Yes, I’ve written a book before.

Totally! I’ve written and published several books.

Not at all, I can't afford to do that

I can afford to do that, but I’ve not really considered it.

Yeah, If it's worth it

Absolutely, I'm actively looking to do that
