David Martin

"Your book has changed how I look at EVERYthing. I'm realizing how hard I've been searching for an answer to what hasn't been working for me, not just in writing & publishing, but in how I manage my professional life, in general. This is the first morning in decades that I woke up feeling calm and unhurried. That's not hyperbole. I've spent most of my professional life feeling rushed, as if I were seeking something that was eluding me. Your book provided the key. Thank you!" EM I just signed in to my KDP publishing account and checked out the report for my royalty earnings over the past two years (May 15 - May 17). Incredibly it reads $207,628.04! Well, it's incredible to me anyways, because I know how long and hard the journey to this point has been. I started my self publishing adventure long before Kindle was even a twinkle in Amazon's eye, on a photocopier and armed with a long-armed stapler. My books had to be short in those days, because they wouldn't stay closed if I tried to fold too many pages. Amazingly, I still publish short books. Lots of them. As a fellow indie author and self-publisher I know well the pressures that can prevent your publishing dreams taking full shape. The daily demands, and propensity to procrastinate, the insecurity - all conspiring to keep you one step behind your break-through. Sometimes it feels like you are chasing your own tail. We know, as self-publishers, that there is a lot more to this gig than just writing. It can become overwhelming. I started asking how I could better run my business to free me to do just the things I loved and felt called to do. I wanted to create a watertight streamlined system that facilitated massive growth without killing me and destroying my wife and kids in the process. I now only have to work a few hours a week to keep my self publishing business running and flourishing - I'm free to write and create as I please. This book contains the tried and tested keys that took me from a struggling and overwhelmed indie author, to a six-figure publishing business that virtually runs on auto-pilot. Most productivity books center on teaching how to do more. This is a book all about doing less! Trash your busy-ness and build a knockout self-publishing business that works for you, instead of you working for it.
