You really do think of becoming an author of a Best-Selling Book?

That is great!  You have before you an opportunity to make that dream a reality within the next several months!  Writing a book is something most people never finish!  They stop writing when they are half way through. And even if they do finish, most people don't get the book into print. Operation Teen Author WILL NOT let that happen, IF you are selected, then you WILL become a Best-Selling author!

So you are considering becoming an author of a Best-Selling Book?

Most people never consider writing a book until they are in their mid-life.  And even if they have thought about it when they were younger, it is only the pressure of time passing by that causes them to attempt the opportunity. DON'T become a part of that group!

Here is a simple fact: Being in print...in book form is the number one credibility builder in the eyes of the public. (Number two is a Ph.D./M.D.) The tuition for this course is only $ 2495  A Ph.D. will run you roughly 50 times that amount and take 4-9 years to accomplish. Once you are in print you can piggy back your success on your first book. You cannot imagine the doors that are opened to you being a published author!

Not really interested in becoming an author of a Best-Selling Book?

That is perfectly ok. This program is not for every one! Not everyone becomes successful in life!  The two major obstacles to accomplishment is lack of interest and being lazy!  That is not to say that because you do not want to write a book that you are lazy.  It simply states that you have no interest in it. Let's just hope that you don't combine the other aspect to it.  Good Luck in your other endeavors!

If you can you imagine what a Best-Selling Author status would do for you now and in the future, that is good!

Seeing oneself as famous is typical for young people! Most young people have their hopes and dreams of becoming famous one way or another.  That can be seen in the 100,000s of teens that line up for auditions in programs like American Idol, Pop Idol, The X Factor, Fame Acadamies and other such programs even when they can't sing.

The percentage of people who line up and actually become a star is very small.  You are born with a great voice...or not.  However, everyone can learn written expression and it is said that everyone has a book within them.  Operation Teen Author simply helps you get that first book out...fast...and the rest is history!

You haven't thought how a Best-Selling Author status would do for you now and in the future?

That is ok! Many people do not see themselves as an author at first.  It is a huge project and without help can take years.  But as an Operation Teen Author, you are guided, coached and encouraged every step of the way.

Every time you write a school paper, you are an author of that article.  Operation Teen Author will teach you how to write articles and how to improve your written expression. But that is only a small part of what you learn. The whole course is designed to teach you some very important skills that you WILL use throughout your life unlike Algebra or Trigonometry. And yes, throughout life you will use the written word, and how you express yourself can make all the difference in the world.

You can't imagine what a Best-Selling Author status would do for you now or in the future?

That is just fine. Having doubts about something can be very useful, especially during an initial period of learning about that something.  But once it has served its purpose the next step is building a belief that can take you to success. Operation Teen Author was created by Don-Alan Rekow who regularly teaches about doubt and its influence that destroys many peoples hopes.  He teaches a very effective Model of Accomplishment to the Teen Author Participants so they also can understand the steps that lead to success.  If you can overcome your skepticism long enough to satisfy those doubts that you may have, OTA just may give you the confidence you need to improve your success.

So  "being the best-anything" doesn't scare you, huh?

That is good. Many people do not have self-confidence and THAT CAUSES PROBELMS all life long. One module during the course is about self-confidence and personal presentation. You may think, "What does that have to do with writing a book?"  But it really does! You cannot just write a book and sit back and expect people to buy it.  You have to go out and sell it, and sell you, and that takes confidence.  We are good at helping you improve on what you already have so Congratulations on this answer and we want to help you even more!

So the idea of "being the best-anything" scares you a little?

It doesn't hurt to be a little bit afraid, that is normal. Anything new always tends to cause apprehension and that causes fear.  At Operation Teen Author we take that into account and spend a whole month just on self-confidence and personal appearance and explaining the whys of that aspect because it is important to your success. We not only want you to succeed as a best-selling author now, but also we want what you learn now to be something you can use throughout your life.

So the idea of "being the best-anything" scares you?

Being afraid of being in the spot light doesn't concern us at OTA as much as simply being afraid to do your best.  We work in one module completely about gaining confidence and overcoming fear.  That is normal to be afraid of something new, but being afraid of being the best at anything is not a good trait. That can affect you all your life. Success is nothing more that doing your best and trying to become better and doing it. Don't give up and DO ALWAYS, do your best!

You a person that can work well together with others?

GREAT!! OTA is a team effort! What one person does affects the remaining members of the team.  This is for the good and the bad!  As a Teen Author, you will want to work hard, keep high ethical standards, and remember to be an Ambassador to all other teenagers around the world!  If you work hard, everyone benefits. If you slack off, of course the remaining team can make up your efforts, but when you finally are on your own you will have learned nothing from this experience.  So the opposite is true also: What one person doesn't do affects the remaining members of the team, however, it affects YOU the most!

As an independent person, do you still feel that can work well together with others on a project?

There is nothing wrong with having independence but it may cause you problems in life. Interdependence is always better, you being able to depend on others but them also being able to depend on you. OTA is a team effort! What one person does affects the remaining members of the team.  This is for the good and the bad!  As a Teen Author, you will want to work hard, keep high ethical standards, and remember to be an Ambassador to all other teenagers around the world!  If you work hard, everyone benefits.

So you don't feel that can work well together with others on a project?

This answer probably will keep you from being chosen for Operation Teen Author.  OTA is a team effort! What one person does affects the remaining members of the team.  This is for the good and the bad!  As a Teen Author, you will want to work hard, keep high ethical standards, and remember to be an Ambassador to all other teenagers around the world!  If you work hard, everyone benefits.

So you don't think that can achieve success in life?

Well you are probably right. Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions but OTA most likely at this time cannot help you.

So you are not yet sure that can achieve success in life?

Being unsure of whether you can achieve success or not does have importance in your attitudes toward how you act or react to situations in life.  It is not thhough a determining factor on you actual success. As you may have seen in the prior question, working together with a team makes A LOT of difference! Having mentors who care about you increases you chances of success a hundredfold!  OTA is just that...a support team meant to help you be successful, not just as an author but in every aspect of life.  OTA can help you be successful!

So you really feel that can achieve success in life?

This attitude is what we look for in Operation Teen Authors!  Our success is based upon your success. And if you are willing to seek your own success and believe that you are capable of achieving it, you are right and OTA wants to be part of that.  Please take a moment and continue to apply for participation in OTA by telling us why you should be chosen to participate.
