5.0 out of 5 stars
A while back, when Heaven Falls was fresh on the shelves, my friend and mentor advised me to set my sights on a goal that I knew I could accomplish in the next phase of being a published author. Not making a million dollars, not a NYT book review, but something attainable. He said that is how he made his fortune in business: by setting and attaining practical goals, one at a time.
When I asked him for an example, he said, “How about five 5-Star reviews for “Heaven Falls” on Amazon.”
Yesterday I attained this goal! Now I need to the next one! Suggestions?
