Take a moment to sit down and list things you need and make your action plan. This is a good time to break them down into small, realistic goals and then tackle them one day at a time!

3. Resist spreading yourself too thinly.

Sometimes, it's better to work on one goal at a time, rather than doing and shooting for so many all at same time. Work on so many goals at one given time and you'll find out you're nowhere near achieving even one goal. You won't be able to focus your full energy on one goal.

Prioritize your goals and start with either your top priority or your most realistic goal. You'll discover you're able to do more and achieve more using this approach.

As an author's advocate, I step out of traditional box and encourage you talented writers to do so too. You can self-publish without spend $1000's. You can write a saleable short book and it still will have merit and be readily accepted by your appropriate audience. No one today wants to read long books any more unless they are fiction.

All of this, and you can market and promote from you home office through Internet. In just 3 1/2 years, online promotion has paid off hugely and brought me over $3500 a month in sales. Depending on your book and audience, you can too.
