Value-Added Book Marketing

In a highly competitive book market, with 500,000 to one million books published annually, it is nearly impossible for new authors to sell their books without marketing.

A Positive Mindset – Harmony in Brainland

Change needs a positive mindset enhanced by positive thinking and speaking. The subconscious mind has a problem with negative-based language; it does not understand it.
Check your self-discipline. How strong is it? It is not enough to just read about what to do. Can you muster the self-discipline to do what is suggested and required? You are the observer of your mind, and you have the power to stop negative thoughts by exchanging them with positive ones. (Excerpt from Chaos in Brainland)
