Stop rushing the process.

"Hussein, I just want to get this thing done and out!"

Then what?

It will be out, half-assed, and you won't be happy with the result and blame everything but the fact that you should have taken your time enjoying the process and launching on your timeline.

If you're saying to yourself, this x y z part of the book or marketing plan is good enough.

You may want to rethink that approach.

Your book has the potential for immense growth; however, no matter the marketing plan or strategy, we can't market something that you feel is "good enough."

Stop rushing the process.

It's crucial that you take your time and create a strategy around what it is you want from your book.

Develop a fantastic book cover, get your website in order, have your email lists ready, begin a social media campaign to connect with people, and start sharing bits and pieces of your book.

Your book isn't a blockbuster movie; it has a long shelf life and needs to slowly make its way through your connections, who will recommend it to others if it impacts them.

Think about it: How many books have you been recommended?

Take your time and ship something you're excited about. It's so worth it in the long run!
