    Wow. I got a shoutout in a Book Launchers video. I'm honored.
    I like the point about discipline. I'm all for inspiration, but that only really comes when you make room for it daily and that means being disciplined.
    It's also really important that people understand that book sales are but one way to earn money with a book. Some people seem to think that books are widgets, when they're really a depository for ideas. Ideas that can, and should, be expanded into many formats that can be monetized.
    I know I learned that here! ;)

    I’m working on the last chapter of my first draft as I’m listening to this video. I couldn’t have come this far if I hadn’t sign on to Book Launchers. Julie’s videos and the company’s on-going deep dive meetings have taught me about everything from book cover design, creating professional presentations, to choosing fonts for book titles. Best of all, I discovered I really enjoy writing character descriptions which has helped with my social media postings. I started my book writing venture at 71 for a cognitive exercise rather than a money making venture. I’m surprised just by the fact I’m in the process of writing a book, my opportunity for speaking engagements has increased.

    Thank you. Your video reminded me that self-discipline is "the ability to do what you should, when you should, whether you feel like it or not."

    Reading my mind as my launch day approaches, but focused on showing up for every step until I get there (and then keep going)!🚀

    Discipline is needed in all of life. Sadly, we put too much on emphasis on motivation and feelings. Wish I would have learned that when I was much younger

    Your videos give such great value Julie, thank you 🙏
    I've been committed to my book for over 11 years, it's finally birthing May/June this year...yes I've been derailed many times but I've never given up.
    And I've got great info from your book Self Publish & Succeed (which I won on one of your training webinars ❤). Best self publishing book I've read!!! 👏
    So thank you for all you do...its greatly appreciated 😇

    My first book will be ready to be published in June and for months I've been telling my husband my goal is to break even so I don't feel bad about publishing another. I guess it's time to shift that thought.

    Discipline to focus, do it, not other things, when you don't feel like it. That's it.

    I’ve heard that you should think of writing a book like it’s a job. While this may be true, this thought hasn’t ever worked for me. I feel it sucks the joy out of the process.
    The mindset presented here, however, is more positive and motivating! It speaks more on the writer’s level. :-)

    fwiw my ideal reader is a Chinese law student, she''s aged 18-25, 30 tops and yeah you want to be VERY specific in figuring out who YOUR reader is. She's probably single, very likely hasn't had a child yet, either speaks or is learning Chinese lives anywhere on earth.
