Oh boy … today is Donald Duck’s birthday! As a kid, I spent hours watching his antics.
June and summertime are always a good time to do a reality check. How is your authoring life going? Are you seeing results? Is buzz starting to build? Are books being ordered on your Amazon account? Have you set up speaking at events that people are buying, not just expecting freebies? What’s working … and what’s not?
Remember, this is a step-by-step. Sometimes big ones; sometimes tiny ones. If you, and others around you, are looking at instant success; instant truckloads of sales, instant everything—it’s an Oh-Oh. It’s a rare—very rare—occasion when an author hits a home run the first time at bat. Your passion is essential; your overall vision critical; your commitment crucial. What are you leaving in the rear mirror and what does your windshield tell you?
The clock is ticking … my fifth annual Book Publishing Unplugged event is in 12 days. Join me for an intensive three days working and learning directly from me in just four weeks. There are ONLY 3 spots left for the Judith Briles Book Publishing Unplugged 3-day event June 21-23. Is one of them yours? Grab your spot.
