By now, that weight loss resolution is dead. In fact, I gained four pounds AFTER the holidays. The best laid resolutions go by the way side. If you want people to read your unique ideas to help them to a better life, and to make a lifelong income from your book, you want to go straight to INTENTION. Write your intention down on a 3 by 5 card and post it near your workstation. "I intend to write one chapter, the book's introduction, or ask a few readers for testimonials." Name your finish date or dates. Just choose something small and specific to start. Apply this idea to marketing and promotion too. The specific actions? Every day write 3-5 things you will finish on your book or marketing projects. (I'm now rewriting my 4 top selling books-Write your eBook of Other Book Fast, Ten Non-Techie Ways to Market your Book Online, The Fast and Cheap Way to Explode Your Targeted Web Traffic, and How to Write your Web Site for Top Sales.)
