In the complex landscape of book writing and publishing, where aspiring authors often struggle with procrastination and self-doubt, Dr. Jagdish Rajaram Jadhav discovered that true impact lies in understanding and conquering the mental barriers to writing. His journey from engineering professor to record-breaking author represents a unique transformation that challenges traditional approaches to book writing.

"I kept on doing something in between," he reflects on his 20-year delay in writing. "I will write now and later... I was not sure if I would be able to make money from writing a book."

With extensive experience spanning academia and professional training, Jadhav identified several key challenges in the authorship journey:

Primary Barriers:

• Mental blocks and inner critics

• Time management struggles

• Lack of clear direction

• Publishing uncertainties

• Marketing challenges

"There are two types of mind blocks," he explains. "One is based on belief, character and surrounding environment... and the second one is the inner critic - a voice inside you which stops you."

Jadhav's journey to authorship was built on a strong academic foundation and diverse professional experiences. Born and raised in Mumbai in a middle-class family, his educational journey included impressive achievements:

Academic Credentials:

• PhD from Mumbai University

• M.Tech from IIT Mumbai

• M.Tech from NIT Nagpur

• 25 published research papers

• 28 years of teaching experience

"I did my PhD from Mumbai University, M.Tech from IIT Mumbai, M.Tech from NIT Nagpur," he shares. "Then I worked for Bajaj Auto for a while. Then I started working my career as a professor in one of the engineering colleges in Mumbai."

His early interests shaped his approach:

1. Personal Development

• Cricket enthusiasm

• Detective book reading

• Music appreciation

• Continuous learning

• Research orientation

2. Professional Growth

• Teaching expertise

• Research skills

• Industrial experience

• Project management

• Content development

The decision to actively pursue writing came after attending a Speed Author program and learning about neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). This combination of events transformed his understanding of the writing process and its potential impact.

Key Realizations:

• Power of subconscious mind

• Importance of visualization

• Role of consistent action

• Value of deadlines

• Impact of public commitment

"I learned NLP, so subconscious mind can work a lot," he explains. "It can be efficient and can create acceleration of manifestation."

His approach to overcoming barriers included:

1. Mental Preparation

• Visualization exercises

• Goal setting

• Public commitments

• Timeline creation

• Action planning

2. Implementation Strategy

• Book cover creation

• Pre-launch marketing

• Social media announcements

• Early reader engagement

• Launch planning

The transition from aspiring writer to published author required strategic planning and support. A key factor was the support of his friend Charad Wahela, who provided financial backing for the simultaneous publication of multiple books.

Development Process:

• Manuscript preparation

• Editing refinement

• Publication planning

• Launch coordination

• Record attempt organization

"Charan Bhai told me, actually I didn't even tell him anything that I need this," he recalls. "He understood what my problem was and he transferred funds to my account without telling me."
