Tips:

I wanted to make a difference for young people. The book helps me make an impact.
I wanted to write about the things I wish I had known or if only someone had told me.
I hate writing. I spoke my book. I recorded my ideas and thoughts. It helps me stay in the creative space without worrying about punctuation and grammar.
I made sure I had a recording device easily accessible so I could record my ideas and add information later.
My advice is, “Do not do the journey alone. Get an editor.”
Be sure to look at the amount of energy and effort the publisher will put into your book.
The key is to just get started.
