Beyond Book Sales: My True Measure of Success
I know it sounds like a cliché to say “if I inspire one person it will all be worth it,” but for me it is true. When I wrote my books, it was never about money. It was about sharing a journey that might help someone else believe in themselves.
If just one person reads my story and feels that spark of courage to sign up for a race, go for a run, or simply believe they are capable of more, then every late night of writing and every ounce of energy has been worth it.
I know what it feels like to doubt yourself, to feel like you are too old, too far behind, or not good enough. Hearing that my story gave someone the push they needed means more than any royalty statement ever could.
So yes, I hope my book reaches more people. But even if it only touches a few lives, that still feels like a victory. Sometimes clichés exist because they are true, and this one is my truth. If my journey shows anything, it is that ordinary people can do extraordinary things—and maybe that next person is you.
