Whether you think of yourself as an entrepreneur is important to your overall success. A healthy self-image – and a clear perspective of that image is vital. You are now an entrepreneur. Every writer is. Even if you are published by a traditional publisher, you are free to market yourself, sell books, and build up a career and business around the written word. Inevitably, your writing legacy, will depend on how well you market your words, how prolific your writing trove grows, and how well people receive your books.
Here Is An Entrepreneur’s Creed To Adopt:
- I desire security, but I desire freedom more.
- I desire a steady paycheck but I desire a chance at greater riches more.
- Rather than seek dependence upon others, I relish independence.
- Rather than fit into the corporate
culture of another I can create a new culture for myself.
- Rather than complain about rejection,
distribution, or returns, I will seize control of the marketplace.
- Rather than work for others, I will
work with them, and even have others work for me.
- Rather than see problems, I will see
business opportunities.
- No reason to fear, cry, shout, or
fight – just take control of my destiny. It will be created one word at a
time.
