Where do you start if you want to write a self help book?

[chrimbospirit]

For years I have had a vague idea for a book and now my kids are young I can slowly start but don't know how.
Can anyone do me a quick dummies guide to writing and getting published (or at least having a go).

Sorry to be facetious, but the title of your thread made me

Seriously though, I think the Writer's Yearbook has a lot of info on getting publihrd. I believe they also have a website.
