✨ Reintroducing Myself, One Story at a Time #2
In my last post, I shared how my first book became a #1 bestseller in the Happiness category.
But here's what most people don't know.
The book wasn't the biggest opportunity.
The journal that came after it was.
After publishing my book, I started paying closer attention to opportunities on Amazon.
I was learning.
Experimenting.
Watching what people were buying.
And I started noticing something interesting.
People weren't just buying books.
They were buying journals.
Lots of journals.
As a teacher and coach, that immediately caught my attention because journaling had been part of my own life for years.
I had journals.
I used journals.
I believed in journaling.
So I started asking questions.
Could I create one?
Would anyone buy it?
Could I learn how to make it and sell it?
There was just one problem.
I had no idea what I was doing.
Again. 😄
But by now, becoming a beginner was starting to feel familiar.
So I researched.
I learned.
I tested.
I made mistakes.
Eventually, I created my first guided journal.
Then something happened that surprised me.
People started buying it.
Not friends.
Not family.
Actual strangers.
People I had never met.
That's a pretty amazing feeling.
The journal grew.
Then I created another for the same market.
Over time, these journals have become the majority of my Amazon sales.
The best-selling book may have opened the door, but the journals helped me build the next phase of a real business.
Looking back, this has become a pattern in my life.
One small project leads to another.
One experiment creates a new opportunity.
One skill opens the door to the next skill.
You rarely know which project will change everything.
That's why I try not to dismiss small beginnings.
Sometimes they become much bigger than you ever imagined.
📚 This post is part of my Reintroducing Myself series.
You'll find the growing collection in the Burn Bright, Not Out Classroom.
P.S. I'd love to hear from you. What's a small project you've started that turned into something much bigger than you expected?
