Day 96
“People are always blaming their
circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people
who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the
circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.”
~ George Bernard
Shaw
Guilty as charged. I've blamed my circumstances for things
in the past, but it’s just an excuse. You don’t have to have thousands of
dollars to market your book – surely you've seen that by now. You don’t really
even need $5. And your book doesn't have to be shelved at Barnes and Noble for
people to read it.
If a major publisher turned down your book, you can still
become a bestselling author – you just have to work at it. Just as the authors
who do get accepted to major publishers probably work at that too.
Circumstances don’t define you. You do. You just have to put in the work to get
yourself to where you want to be.
Marketing prompt:
Write a blog post with 25 reasons that you’re glad you’re an
author (or 25 reasons that your followers should read your book – you choose).
