Execution means actually doing what you plan or decide to do. Innovation is about coming up with new ideas or ways of doing things. Both are good, but guess what? Getting things done (that's execution) is way more important.

Now that we've covered the groundwork, let's dive into today's topic, which is part two of our series on how to sell more books (or anything else) independently.

With the rise of self-publishing, it's become easier than ever to bring your work directly to your audience. Today, I'll outline the high-level steps you need to follow to sell books as an independent author. But here's the thing: while I'll focus on books, these principles can apply to selling almost anything independently. Whether it's courses, coaching services, homemade crafts, or even lemonade, the strategies remain the same. So, let's use books as our example canvas, but keep in mind that these principles are adaptable to any product or service you're selling.

Let's talk about creating structure. As I've mentioned before, confidence stems from discipline, and discipline is built upon structure. If you're aiming for more discipline in your life, you need to introduce more structure, whether it's in your personal life, business, or any other area. Today, I'll outline how to establish that structure, providing you with the blueprint to make it easier for you to be disciplined and achieve success confidently.

Today, let's review the key steps to achieving anything. Even if you're familiar with these steps, it's crucial to keep them top of mind. We often hear things multiple times in life, but how often do we truly internalize and act on them? That's where accountability comes in. Sure, you might know you need to wake up early to work out, but are you actually doing it? So, don't underestimate the power of revisiting the basics. They're the foundation of all accomplishments. It's not just about knowing things; it's about applying them. Let's keep that in mind as we strive for success. Start now and pave your path to success! Show Notes: [05:05]#1 You must begin.

Alright, let's cut to the chase. Our subconscious mind runs the show, controlling about 85% (or more!) of what we think and do. Changing habits means rewiring that subconscious programming.
