While I'm not a "best-selling" author by any means, my books for about a month after each original release ranked consistently in the top of the heap in their genre (which, broadly speaking, is non-fiction), ranging from "10 out of" to "3 out of". And while that's pretty cool, achieving a top ranking was not my original motivation in writing books. No, it was vanity. As you'll learn in this episode, seeing a finished product, proudly displayed somewhere, can sometimes serve as our strongest source of motivation. 

2021 started with a commitment to self-publish through Amazon, and the year is wrapping up with a new-formed publishing company with several titles in its roster of books. 

So while this episode talks about self-publishing through Amazon in a general sense, and speaks to anyone who is a content creator or promoter, it really considers what's behind those efforts: the motivation, the drive and commitment to achieve a goal, as well as how reaching one milestone can quickly fuel inspiration to identify bigger goals and develop even more creative output.
