After writing and publishing my first book in 2024, I set a goal to write and publish five books in 2025. I completed four.
So… did I fail?
Not in my eyes.
As a Performance Life Coach, it was never about the number itself. The goal was simply a path, a direction, and a reason to keep moving forward with purpose.
What mattered most was the mission behind the work.
These books were written from years of coaching, real life experience, and proven strategies that help people create lasting change. What I teach isn’t theory. It’s methods that have been tested and applied, and they’ve helped hundreds, if not thousands, of people across the world take back the power of their mindset, their habits, and their life.
When something works consistently, it deserves to be shared.
That’s why I write.
So set goals. Let them guide you, not define you. Don’t let a missed number convince you that you’re failing. If you’re showing up, growing, and creating something that can help other people rise, then you’re already winning.
This year, I plan to publish four more. But for now, I’m proud of what I did create, because every one of those books is available on Amazon and every one of them has the power to change a life.
And if you’ve written and published a book, you’re not “trying” to be an author.
You are one.
Because when you put your knowledge into the world, you’re offering people ideas, information, and abundance they may have been searching for their entire life.
If this message spoke to you or something within it resonated, I invite you to check out my other ideas in my books sold on Amazon. They have already helped thousands worldwide.
Somewhere in The Canadian Rockies, an unknown and unspeakable horror lurks unseen...
Cyrik and Diana have left the bright lights, noise and comforts of the city behind for a much-needed getaway. Heading to the largely unspoiled natural realm of the areas adjacent to The Rocky Mountains in southern Alberta they look forward to spending time focussing only on each other and the pleasures to be enjoyed. Within scarely more than the blink of an eye, strange events begin unfolding around them. They soon find themselves caught up helplessly in an unimaginable conflict that takes them beyond our skies, Galaxy, Universe... ...and beyond Reality itself.
I have a fully-finished story, but I'm stuck in trying to decide how to release it. I won't go near a Publisher, ever again...I have learned that lesson as every single time I have tried to work with a Publisher, it's been a disaster where I have been screwed-over, made $0.00 or stuck with Expenses, and have had manuscripts and IP's stolen from me. We're talking about some of the biggest and lol 'Most reputable' Publishers in the world, just FYI.
So, I'll release this work on Deviantart.
I can do so as either a pay-per-download of the whole book.
or
A Premium Subscription Gallery and release it one chapter per month.
I might also do it on Subscribestar as well.
Both approaches have good Pros and substantial Cons... ...I might have to flip a coin on this one, I'm starting to feel like I'm chasing my tail on trying to resolve this decision.
