ARE YOU STUCK IN A MIND-GREMLINS TRAP? · Book Boss Academy

ARE YOU STUCK IN A MIND-GREMLINS TRAP?

THIS is a HUUUGE TRAP that I see alllll the time and it makes me really really sad and we NEED TO CHANGE THE STORY ready for this final quarter of the year!

Try not to publish just 1 or 2 books and then start thinking thoughts like this.....

........."Oh is my book selling?"

........."Why is my book not making any sales?"

........."I'm really upset because my first book made no sales."

.........."I'm a failure because my book is not selling."

........."Oh I don't think publishing books is going to work for me because I'm not making any money"

.........."I'm just no good at this."

THIS IS A LOSERS MINDSET Book Bosses........ the people who think these thoughts will NEVER be successful at book publishing and I may upset some people by saying this, but, I also believe they will not be successful at 98% of other entrepreneurial pursuits too! Because most other entrepreneurial pursuits also don't give them instant results either! Which is really really sad.

These people need to flip burgers and sell them one at a time or sell cakes at a cake sale.....because they have ZERO LONG TERM VISION.

These are the people who will frog hop and ping pong from trying one idea to trying out something else to something else and then onto something else.

SAD.

______

My first 22 books didn't make any sales................at first......... yes TWENTY TWO BOOKS! ZERO SALES! .......and then I worked really hard and I made a book about batch cooking small dogs meals and that started selling straight away......and has made incredible sales ever since!

But soooo many people would have ALREADY GIVEN UP a long time ago if they had published 22 books and made ZERO SALES!

......But I knew in my mind that this business HAS TO WORK FOR ME because amazon pays out over A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS to book publishers around the globe every single month!

I knew I could have a piece of that $100 MILLION PIE! It wasn't just a pie for others to eat from and not me! That would be so dumb of me to think that!

______

So here's the GOLD: I told myself firmly inside my own mind that I was going to give this Amazon KDP thing AT LEAST TWO SOLID YEARS Of my dedicated time. I told myself that I was going to publish AT LEAST 200 BOOKS MINIMUM during those 2 years. And if I wasnt earning any of that $100 MILLION PIE in 2 years thats when I would rethink my strategy! ONLY THEN!

In the meantime I simply DO NOT CARE if a book doesnt sell......my goal is to publish 200 HIGH QUALITY SCROLL STOPPING BOOKS.

END. OF. STORY.

Since then yes I have sold a lot of books in the last 8 months of working hard at this business AND I have even had a few sales of some of those first 22 books too.......but I have also realised that those 22 books were, by far, my WORST BOOKS and I'm really pleased that the quality of my books has increased now, my book covers are now a lot better AND I am always thinking of what I can include with my books to give them added perceived value in the feed.....

- a bonus workbook, larger print, travel size, a bonus eBook, Bonus video lessons (via Q R COdes on the pages!), a 2-in-1 book, extra words in a wordsearch book, extra large print, extra hard, extra easy, SIMPLE, ultimate guide..... these are the things that set my books apart from the others in the feed - and it's really easy to do a lot of these things now with the relatively new AI tools that we all have access to!

Now..............I KNOW 100% that I am going to be creating and publishing books for the rest of my life.... becasue I love it so much. I love the variety. I love the creativity. I love how it challenges me. And I love seeing my income rise every single month too!

_____

So if you are one of these people who is over-analysing every single thing you do and every single book you create and publish...........if you are "sad because your one book didnt make any sales" ....... let this be the post that CHANGED YOUR LIFE FOREVER.

Let's start OCTOBER ............... the final quarter of this year with a clean slate. Lets start on a blank page.

👇

"I am going to create and publish 200+ books over the next 2 years and THAT is all I really need to think about. Nothing else matters."

You've all got this Book Bosses!
