2010 Mini-Conference - Warrior-Writer (Based on Bob Mayer's book "Who Dares Wins"): Friday and Saturday, March 12-13

Special Novel Writers Workshop: Sunday, March 14 (this is a small group of no more than 12 – available on a first-come, first-serve basis – see details below)

What is "Warrior-Writer?"

New York Times Bestselling author Bob Mayer presents an exciting workshop that focuses on educating writers how to be authors. Warrior-Writer is a holistic approach encompassing goals, intent, environment, personality, change, courage, communication and leadership that gives the writer a road map to become a successful author. Many writers become focused on either the writing or the business end; Warrior-Writer integrates the two.

Warrior-Writer fills a critical gap in the publishing industry paradigm. While there are numerous workshops focused on just the writing, this is the only one that focuses on the strategies, tactics and mindset a writer needs to develop in order to be a successful author.

Why "Warrior-Writer?"

Warrior-Writer is a one-of-a-kind workshop focusing on you, the author. In the Warrior-Writer Workshop, Bob applies the battle-tested strategies of the Green Berets to the world of being a New York Times Best-Selling author. He's taught thousands of writers over the years, but this new and innovative program probes deeper than words on the page. It is designed to teach you, the writer, how to think, plan, and become the future best-sellers of the new age of publishing. The benefits you'll gain from this workshop will extend far beyond your writing and reach into all areas of your life, making dreams a reality.

Behaviors become habits. Habits become character. Character becomes destiny.

What is your destiny?

During the Warrior Writer Workshop, you will progress through two levels of Who Dares Wins:

  1. An overall strategy for change and success.
  2. Specific tactics you can apply immediately.

During the course of the workshop, Bob will help you:

  • Clearly define your writing goals and help you understand why you want to achieve them.
  • Examine your surroundings and discover those assets that will aid you in achieving desired goals.
  • Identify potential threats and help guide you around those barriers.
  • Locate your blind spot, the part of your character that hinders you from being as creative as you can be.
  • Discover what you fear and how that fear could be sabotaging you from turning your dreams into realities.

And that is just the tip of the iceburg!

The Warrior-Writer Workshop will help you develop personal strategies to:

  1. Overcome procrastination.
  2. Finish what you start.
  3. Be consistent in your work.
  4. Set boundaries for work space and time.
  5. Achieve more than you ever thought possible.

Take charge of your writing destiny TODAY!!!
