Failures Are Just Lessons To Be Learned
We all know failing is part of success – but picking yourself up afterward can be a struggle.
I definitely learned this the hard way after publishing the 2nd edition of Home Sweet Home Page. Even though it made it to the bestseller list on Amazon in 3 categories, it did NOT do what I wanted it to.
When these types of setbacks come around it’s important to have the necessary tools and mindset to help you bounce back.
Here’s what I learned from publishing a book that didn’t get the results I’d hoped for that might help you out.
👉 Write the right book. My business had changed since the first edition, and I didn’t think through how I needed to change the book to work for my new focus.
👉 Get the messaging right. When your message is not clear, readers will think you are giving them something you had no intention to give…resulting in the wrong people reading it and then leaving bad (and off-the-mark) reviews.
Mistakes force us to explore other alternatives.
Feel free to learn from my mistakes, and don’t be afraid to make your own!
