You’ll never be ready.

No one’s ever ready.

But you still have to start. Take the first step.

That makes today the right day for you to begin the author business that’s been calling to you. It can be full-time, part-time, or extremely part-time. Maybe it can even be a profitable author business you love.

Decide

This one’s easy and I urge you to implement it by making the choice to read this article and put yourself on the path to starting the author business you’ve been thinking about. Today. Then, come back tomorrow and the day after and the day after, and read another author business article (I have almost 200 here) for inspiration and how-to.

Tap the energy

Find the excitement, the joy, the passion, and the motivation within to fuel your venture. Recognize that feeling and practice returning to it as needed. There will be days when you will fall back on discipline, commitment, will power, and just showing up. That’s important energy too. Understand both; use each as needed to propel yourself forward. Energy mastery takes all self-employment further, faster.
