]]>One of my very best friends is a guy named Eric Elder. He is a musician, author, and creative genius who runs TheRanch.org. A few years ago, we were on a call and he showed me how he stays motivated to finish the books he starts writing.
Then, he held up another person’s book, and to the front of it, he had taped a mock-up of a cover for the book he was writing. He already knew in advance the print size of the book, so he made sure to choose another print book of the same size.
I thought this was a genius idea and have been doing the same thing ever since. Anytime I’m working on a book, I always have the cover designed as early in the process as I can. Then I find another print book of the same size, tape a printout of the cover to the front, and keep it on my desk during the whole writing and publishing process.
This helps make the book tangible and real, instead of a file that just lives on your computer. It also helps you make it through the rough spots in the writing and editing. When you keep the vision of the final product clear and it’s sitting on your desk, you will feel much more motivated to keep going.
Daily Question: If you are working on a book project, do you have the cover designed yet? Have you printed it out and attached it to another book of the same size to keep your vision clear?
By the way, you can find out more about Eric Elder and his books, music, and more by visiting TheRanch.org.

]]>On this episode, I’m sharing a conversation with my friend Eric Elder from 2019. He is an author, speaker, and pianist with a passion for sharing Christ with others.
Eric is a pioneer in online ministry, and he has also produced a wealth of books and music for The Ranch, an online spiritual retreat. He also recently released a filmed version of “One Life: A Christmas Story Ballet,” which was adapted from his book St. Nicholas: The Believer.
I talked to Eric about the idea of creative entrepreneurship because as writers, we are also entrepreneurs and business owners. Eric is the perfect person to help us think through this idea of creative entrepreneurship because he an original thinker who created a worldwide-impacting ministry from scratch.
In our conversation, we tackle tough issues such as what entrepreneurship is all about, why it’s OK to disappoint people, why ambition is a good thing if handled in the right way, and how to discern if you are called to something.
