Are you motivated or disillusioned by all the “end of year earnings” screenshots some authors post? For some of us, it’s incredibly inspiring; others find it a distraction or even a bit depressing! There is no “right” answer – the trick is understanding yourself and this week we talk about the things you CAN control and why you should feel super positive about that!

We also discuss Melissa Storm’s Litring Reader Survey which shows some very encouraging reader buying behaviour that can help your sales without you having to spend a fortune on advertising.

We put our thinking caps on and came up with our Top Ten Things that a self publisher needs to be (in the SPA Girls’ opinion 😉 )

1. Thick skinned.
2. Be willing to take risks.
3. Be willing to learn new skills.
4. Don’t buy into the drama, and someone else’s bull****
5. Find your tribe.
6. Be professional.
7. Stay focused.
8. Celebrate your successes.
9. Don’t lose the passion.
10. Remember you’re a star.
