Remember this when you’re feeling discouraged
The best thing about having a sales career is that you have limitless opportunities to create an impact in the lives of others, and you also get to experience limitless income.
There is no ceiling for who you can impact and how much you can earn. But it can take time to reach the point of impacting your readers and also earning a living off your writing. For some writers, they earn right away, for others, it takes them time.
Don’t put all of your focus into earning a living from writing as much as the impact you can spread across the globe with your writing. The more value you provide, the more willing others will be to support you.
Write when you feel low, uncertain, and despondent about your writing career. The best thing you can do as a writer is be consistent.
Consistency will outperform talent, fame, and skill 100% of the time.
Start sharing one line on social media if you don’t know what to write.
Then utilize that line to jumpstart an article.
Then utilize that article to jumpstart a book.
Then utilize that book to jumpstart a series.
Then utilize that series to jumpstart your writing empire.
