Just the Right Time....

My intention is to share concepts that make life work better while also documenting my process of getting published on kindle. This first concept has to do with timing...and letting up on ourselves when we think we are not doing some task or project correctly, or fast enough..

You know how it can seem like you “missed the boat” with things?

I have been “missing the boat” since early life. Back in the 60s I wasn’t going to look like every other young hippie wannabe by growing my hair long and all. So, I got into the flowing tresses and street-sweeping skirts, just as my peers were moving on to “dressing for success.” Over time, I have been an outlier on all sorts of trends and often, it seemed like it was because I just didn’t get going fast enough.   

For a while now, I have been feeling the “itch” to reach out bigger with what I have learned in more than forty years as a teacher, counselor, coach, workshop leader and energy worker. But life kept getting in the way.  I have two vibrant face-to-face “gigs”:

• A part-time slot at a local mental health clinic and..
• my budding and blooming private practice that is morphing from ordinary counseling to GO-Team Coaching and Energy Work ...the concepts and approaches I want to share more widely.

Each of my clients inspires me... and invigorates me... I am so blessed and honored to work with these folks.

I thought I would create a blog. And then turn the posts into a book.

But clients, dog walks, dishes.. you know how it is... I was not getting to it.

Finally, the other day.. I started reading books I’d accumulated about getting published on Kindle.  And, I saw that that, for once, I had not “missed the boat”...quite the contrary. While I was busy elsewhere, others had been dealing with all the ups and downs of a new field. I read about the money to be made... and the ease of Ebooks compared to traditional publishing. However, I also read about folks getting their accounts closed as Amazon tightened up their guidelines.. the inscrutability of Amazon’s “SEO” technology... etc.

I realized that just this spring a number of top notch trainings have come out that cut through mounds of red tape for newcomers to EBook Publishing.

The conclusion: it was better to wait to publish in this new field.. and let other industrious author/entrepreneurs discover the pitfalls and invent the systems.

“Missed the boat?” Not in this case!!... I’m thinking this is just the right time to get into Kindle Publishing... for me..and maybe for you, too.

I plan to recommend some of the trainings I find  (some for an affiliate cut for me.. some not) and summarize some of their suggestions ...  so your learning curve might be even shorter than mine.

And... maybe it’s time to see if the same concept applies to other stuff we’ve been beating ourselves up about “not getting to yet.” What da a say?
