Newsletter 19th January 2022: Is this stopping you? 😢 & a few fun new things

by | Newsletters

Hi

If the idea of being criticized, puts you off publishing your work, writing an email, or selling your product, you’re not alone.

But there’s no point in worrying about it.

Because no matter what you do or how you do it, you’re going to get critics or naysayers or people who demand refunds.

Guaranteed.

But you can choose how to react when it happens. 💖

Years ago, as an author I quickly learnt to grow a very thick skin.

All authors need to, because people have such strong but different likes and dislikes about books that they either love your book or hate it (or worse, it’s so mediocre that no one cares at all!)

Unfortunately, the haters can be quite vocal.

The first one star review nearly stopped my writing career in its tracks.

Until I turned to my writer friends full of dismay and one of them pointed to a post like this (It wasn’t this exact post but the original is long gone):

17 One-Star Reviews Of Classic Novels That Completely Missed The Point Of The Books

In fact, every single book you’ve ever loved is likely to have a ton of one star reviews.

You can’t please all the people.

But the great thing is, you don’t even have to try.

Your job is just to create the best product, write the best email, publish the best journal or book (or whatever you’re doing) that you can.

And let people think of it what they will.

Your future success depends on doing exactly that.

So what happened to my writing career?

I went on to create 187 books and made a tidy sum over the years.

I’ve moved on and haven’t written much for a few years but some of those books still pay royalties every month.

When I looked at my stats today, I saw that NOT listening to criticism has earned me

$193,020.27

to date (that is in the 10 years since I started publishing but still better – a lot better – than zero.)

Don’t let yourself be put off by criticism wherever it comes from (including from inside your own head!)

Listen and learn if it’s constructive otherwise kick it to the touch and profit. 💖

SELL MOTIVATION

I do wish I could manufacture actual motivation, bottle it, and sell it. Unfortunately, I haven’t quite cracked that yet 🤣

The latest Instant Motivation product from Tools for Motivation is a whole white label training on sparking motivation however, and it would make a perfect product that customers need and want in the self development and coaching niches. I’d change the name of it though from “Impulse Manifest Motivation in the Moment” as that seems a bit of a mouthful, or is that just me? LOL

instant Motivation

There’s a lot of content in this for the tiny price (including an ebook, articles, workbook, audiobook, lead magnet, slide deck, sales letter, social media posts, graphics – the whole nine yards) so if this is the type of training you would like in your shop, take a look at it here. (And don’t let the title put you off – make your own best selling title!)
