This week “Passion Isn’t Enough” surpassed 1,000 books sold. Like many of you, writing a book was a huge undertaking with many ups and downs. What I didn’t fully realize, was that producing the book was only 1/2 the journey. Marketing and selling the book is another animal altogether. In the early weeks after the book came out, I set a goal of reaching the 1,000 books sold plateau. And now 18 months after launch the book has cleared that hurdle. It took 20+ podcast appearances and numerous in-person events to get there but it is now a reality. Life is hard sometimes. Celebrate the wins whenever you can!
