The Highly Paid Author has a deep understanding for what is required of him/her to pull in the profits that he/she wants to accumulate from his/her writing. He/she also understands that it takes extreme discipline and a determined focused effort of beating at his/her craft to produce quality content for their readership. He/she wakes up in the morning with laser focused efforts to write fresh content for his/her potential best-selling book and is disciplined enough to sit in the seat of creativity piecing together his/her manuscript and adding nothing less than value.
Highly Paid Authors jump out of bed and rush to their notebooks to write down their fresh ideas before they slip the walls of their mind. These authors create outlines for books ahead of time even while working on current books to create a skeleton for the vision of the book. They start piecing together their vision even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. These authors are the ones who become the best-sellers on Amazon that people rant about for decades to come. These are the authors who shape history and others in the process of their becoming and taking their craft very seriously.
Now let’s shift on the other side of the table and describe the lifestyle of the “Wannabe Author.
The Wannabe Author entertains the idea of wanting to write and becoming this great best-selling author. But they wake up and make their first priority staring at the ceiling debating on whether or not they want to roll out of bed. As soon as they muster the energy to get up if at all, they slothfully walk to the computer and touch the mouse to only begin surfing the web and checking their social media profiles; just for the sake of having something to do. Their goals are not written down in clear and definite details on a piece of paper so they begin to wander throughout the day.
They constantly think of writing and how great it would be to turn their ideas into books. So, they scribble down the ideas, but the riches of their imagination rest dormant on a piece of paper for who knows how long. These ideas are nothing but consonants and vowels that will never see the light of day. Eventually, they make it around to opening their word documents and typing a word count of 250-500 words for the day. They put very little effort into kindling the dream of crafting their message and voicing their opinions to the world
In sum, this author is doomed for failure and will never make it to higher echelons of life as they lack the discipline to write and most of all they lack vision.
