for greatness and believe in yourself.
9.

stubborn about what you want.

Be
aware of what’s at stake – for yourself and others. Have a sense of urgency to achieve.
11.

to produce a book that would exceed a customer’s expectations.

readers what they want or need – and fulfill it.

your brand or author persona. Who do you
want to project?
16.
Consult
the bestseller lists and fill a void.
Will
you make this year better than the last one, better than ever? Will you make the necessary sacrifices and
take steps to live your convictions?
Will you do things differently than before? Will you put in the time needed to break
through?
You
know what needs to be done. Go do it!
