Action Steps:
- If you’re an author feeling vulnerable about selling your book, get out a piece of paper and write down what some of your fears are. Look for ways to address the issues around the fears.
- Take the time to sit down and write about the impact that each copy of your book will make. How is your book going to make readers show up differently at work or with their families? What’s the impact that every copy will have on the world as a whole?
