Episode notes
Patience Prevents Expensive Author Mistakes
- Treat craft, marketing, and business mistakes as patience problems rather than rushing to finish every task.
- Delay publication long enough for additional editing, planning, and quality checks instead of obeying arbitrary launch dates.
Build A System For Patience
- Use systems or accountability partners to control impulsive decisions and release tasks on schedule.
- MK uses Asana dates as a commitment, while non-planners can rely on Trello, software, or a planning-oriented partner.
A Career Takes More Than One Book
- Patience applies both to launch details and to the years required to build a career.
- Authors can fix messy early decisions as indies, but one book rarely replaces a day job; MK suggests perhaps reaching that point around a fifth book.
