Promise: How to Use Habits to Build a Successful Self-Publishing Business
My promise is that I am going to teach you how to use daily habits to help build a successful self-publishing business. I don’t think that I’ve done anything extraordinary. I simply follow a habit every single day, and I’ve been following that, pretty much, for the past six years. I think a lot of times, as writers, we tend to put our heads in the clouds, like, “I have this great idea. I can’t wait to feel inspired to write so that I’ll sit down and crank out 1,000 words.” That might work for a day or so, but I firmly believe that you need some sort of process.

There’s a very famous quote from W. Somerset Maugham in which he said, “I only write when inspiration strikes. Fortunately, it every morning at nine o’clock sharp.” The point being that you have to schedule this into your day. What’s magical is that even when you aren’t in the mood to write, if you follow the habit and commit yourself to doing it, and I like to do it first thing in the morning, which we’ll get into…
If you commit yourself into doing things first thing in the morning, and you work at even if you aren’t in the mood, the words will start to flow eventually.
