I am restricting myself to use money on anything that is useless (alcohol, excessive food prices, snacks, etc.). All for the sake of investment. Two years from now I'll be finished with college and got a degree, and I don't want to live a insecure financial life.
*Sigh...
And now I'm troubling again with my book. The "what if" scenarios are popping in my head. What if my book won't get rejected? What if my book won't make an outstanding sale? What if my book contains low quality content? Bla bla bla....
All I know is, while writing this book I include all accurate information from valid sources and first-hand experience. I don't want to give BS to the readers. What I want is to give a knock-out "AHA" for them. Will I be able to do that? Am I worthy to earn that much?
I'm in deep sh1t right now. Yes. A very deep sh1t. Within my mind there is a huge cognitive dissonance. Albeit the only thing I could do is write and submit.
I'm a writer. This means what I do is write quality writing. IF its good enough, then sales and publication won't be a matter. IF its not, then, I need to swallow the red pill and write again with enhancement.
Again, *Sigh....
This reminds me of something I read a long time ago. I think it was by Robert Kiyosaki.
He said a woman cam up to him and was saying "I'm such a better writter than you are so why can't I find success like you?" (it was something along those lines)
Robert replied "I'm a best SELLING author, not a best WRITING author."
The two don't go hand in hand, but they can.
If I were you I'd put my focus into learning how to sell the book on your own, no publisher, no amazon kindle, just get a sales page, learn about writing copy, and charge what the information is actually worth.
What I mean is, how much would you pay for your book if you could go back in time and sell it to yourself?
If it would save you a lot of time and struggles, how much is that worth to you? Probably A LOT, so sell your book for A LOT of money. Sell it for what it's worth.
Don't see it as selling a book, because you're not selling a book, you're selling information and it just so happens to be in the form of a book.
You can't sell it for the value of a book though, you have to sell it based on how much the information is worth to someone, and price it accordingly.
