86 You Have a Book in You cal, because you have to be there before you get there. 吀栀e Bible says, “I call those things that are not as though they were, and they came into being.” 吀栀e end is always present in the beginning. 吀栀at’s how the world works. Look at an acorn. Can you see the oak tree inside it? Is it really possible that something so small can turn into something so big? 吀栀e truth is, it’s not only possible; it’s inevitable, provided you create the right conditions for nature to take its course. 吀栀e deed is in the seed. 吀栀e deed is the result of your seed thinking. 吀栀ink as if you already are the author that you will be—and you will be that author. 吀栀e same principle holds for getting your book to the world. At the start, your book was nothing. It was just an intangible idea in your mind. 吀栀en it was a word on a page. First one word, then a second, and, 昀椀nally, tens of thousands of them. Eventually your book becomes a physical object you can hold in your hand. Now your task is to take the same process that enabled you create something out of nothing and translate it into the larger world. Just as you once saw the blank page as the acorn of your literary oak tree, now you should see the single volume on the table in front of you as millions of books on millions of tables. Do you have that vision in mind? Good. Now make just one phone call that will bring that vision closer to reality.
