I communicate with authors every day, and I've found that one of the most popular topics is success. Of course every author wants to be successful, but since success is so incredibly subjective it's crucial for an author to define success. For Author A, success might mean selling 1,000 copies. Author B might focus more on touching lives. And maybe Author C considers the act of publishing a success and anything beyond that is gravy. Perhaps Author D is a bit of all of the above. That's why I constantly ask authors for their definition of success. I believe it's important for the author to have a clear goal in mind so the author can strive to meet his/her definition of success and recognize "success" when it arrives. I believe it's the same with life, really...
Do you have a clear definition of success in your mind? Let me know...
