For many days now I have been struggling with whether to write this book of mine or not. I'm hoping you guys could help me decipher in my decision making process.
But this is a good sign because it may tell me if this is really worthy of Fastlane---meaning it meets all the criteria of Fastlane commandments. The dilemma came like a double edged sword because after reading MJ's book, I was ecstatic to finally crack the real code to wealth after long years of searching but at the same time it made me a little uneasy because I was already working on a business idea that time and therefore questioned if that idea I was working on was already Fastlane worthy.
So what is my book? It's about how I recovered from a neurological condition that affects a unique subset of musicians, called Focal Dystonia, and it details what I did to recover from it and help others to be free from it too.
The problem with this is that it is a super-targeted niche. There could be well only be around 500 people in the whole world who has this condition. It is also called "writer's cramps" or in some areas in sports like golf, it is called the "yips". Though my book is about how I recovered from Focal Dystonia, I don't aim it for golfers and writers but only for people like me, musicians.
The dilemma now is that my book violates the commandment of Scale. Yes there is a definite NEED---there are only few people who have recovered from it 100% and I know exactly what to do to get them out of it. Yes there is ENTRY---it took me years of research and trial and error. Unless one wants to have this condition they would never know my wisdom and experience. Yes there is CONTROL---I will publish an e-book of my own. And Yes it corresponds with TIME---which means I can automate it, that's the easiest part.
However the amount of people who have focal dystonia in the whole world is too small which means my book won't be scalable. It saddens me because I know people need this but it doesn't seem to be profitable as I expect it to be.
The flash of insight came when I thought that "how about if I not only sell this book to musicians who are affected with the condition but also sell it to people who want to AVOID it?"
The condition has the potential to destroy one's music career and it comes by without warning---I know because I speak from experience. So definitely it could be possible that ALL musicians and instrumentalists will want to know how to avoid it! This means the 95% of untapped market or in other words, all musicians: guitarists, violinists, pianists, trumpeters, drummers ALL OVER THE WORLD (Focal Dystonia does not affect singers)
Could this now be a potential fastlane book?
From my book being named: "How I recovered from Focal Dystonia and how you can too"
By simply changing it too: "How I recovered from Focal Dystonia and how you can recover from it and avoid it if you don't have it!"
Would it now encompass a huge market and therefore be worhty of fastlane?
Thanks for the help in advance!
