Hi Reko that sounds great. Here is some inspiration, learnings and encouragements. Encouragement: It is easy to self publish your book now. My first book, Deploy; Simple ways to move your life forward, was self published on Amazon. The cost works out to about $5 a book, what you sell it for becomes your profit. https://www.amazon.com/Deploy-Simple-Ways-Move-Forward/dp/B09MGHCLG3 What I am learning: Marketing: I need to better market my book. I currently sell my book directly to my clients. I travel on the road and work with 30-40 organizations throughout the year. For my next book I am going to submit it to a few agents to see if they would pick it up. I am also going to get on several pod casts and promote my message. This is a new focus for me and I am looking forward to what doors it will open. Now to apply this, who or where do you want to promote or sell your book? Who needs to hear or experience your content/story? Technology. Technology is making things easier to write and publish however use it wisely. I am currently using chatgpt to help me edit and correct my spelling and grammar for this next book. This has helped speed up the process and hopefully has improve the quality of my draft. However, I have purposefully chosen to not to use chatgpt to write my material. I want the process to produce the needed result in me. By struggling, labouring, and polishing and honing my material and message I have also been learning and growing as person. For you this is also part of the process that comes with writing your book. This process cannot be short changed. So if you are struggling to write or put your material together just accept this is part of the process of writing. You also are growing, building your skills, and honing and developing your content. My breakthrough: My biggest breakthrough came when i got the right person to help me. This is what helped me get my first project across the finish line. I went through 2 different editors before I found someone who met the need I had. I also needlessly wasted some money and energy at this stage. The frustration caused me to lose some momentum and it put my project at risk for a season. So the wisdom, know what you need and find the right person to help you. For myself I did not need someone to correct my spelling. I needed someone to hone my material and the content with me. The person I hired also helped me by doing some of the back end work and loaded the book onto the Amazon platform. She was life saver for me. For costs, she was $30 an hour which was well worth it for me. I am sure you can find someone much cheaper on Fiverr though.
