Why Every Writer Must Become an Entrepreneur
And what one thing you can do today to be on the path to becoming one.
Do you know why most of the writers don’t succeed?
It is not because they are not good writers or because they can’t find time to write or don’t put enough effort into their vocation.
Most writers fail because they refuse to see themselves as entrepreneurs.
Their thought process goes like this: I am a writer. I just want to write. I do not want to learn marketing, build an email listing, or deal with the publishers.
So they keep writing and hoping that one day a publisher will like their work and give them a break. Their book will be published, it will become an overnight bestseller, and they will be rewarded with the name and fame they so much deserve, and soon royalties will start flowing.
I can almost guarantee you that it is not going to happen.
Writing is such a laborious, challenging, unrewarding activity that you will not be able to sustain it without some payoff, whether it is in the form of money or just recognition. The sooner you accept, the sooner you will be able to establish yourself in this booming industry in the proper way.
