It's Been Simply A Journey
In the studio recording the audio version of Simply a Journey.
It’s been simply a journey dedicating the entire year of 2023 to writing and publishing my memoir. I had been dreaming of writing my book for many years, I wanted to share my life’s journey to show how you can make your dreams come true with courage, determination, intention, and gratitude. After the seemingly endless process of writing, editing, and learning how to self-publish, I am very proud to say Simply A Journey is now on Amazon as a paperback, Kindle, and Audiobook (narrated by yours truly).
The process of the above confirmed to me the value of persistence and following through with a project to completion in a timely manner.
First, you must set a specific goal with a specific deadline, i.e. self-publish my memoir by January 20, 2024 (actual published date was January 25, 2024). Second, know what you can do and delegate what you can not. I got prompt questions and support from other writers and trusted friends, I enrolled professional support from Self Publishing School, and I went to a professional studio to record the audiobook. This synergy is crucial and critical in accomplishing a goal, especially really big ones.
Take home message: When you plan, plan to win. When you pay, pay attention.
One of the biggest factors in actually completing our goals is our daily habits. I read a book called “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. And learning to Piggybacking new habits on already existing ones fosters success. We are each given 168 hours every week. What we do with this gift of life is a clear demonstration of our commitment, passion, and purpose.
Ask yourself: How will I feel when I achieve this goal?
Journey on!
