I wrote and published
full time
for five years
before I found a series
that made good money,
that could pay the bills.
I worked hard
– 12 hour plus days,
7 days a week.
There were
very few days off.
If I hadn’t loved it,
I would have given up
after two or three years.
The irony is…
I was ‘lucky.’
The average successful writer
today
takes 10 years,
twice as long,
to make money.
Frank Schilling,
founder and CEO of
Uniregistry,
shares
“I started my business,
Uniregistry,
in the third bedroom of my home
and would sit
in front of the computer so long
that I lost track of time.
Ten years later,
I realized I was still
as engrossed in my work
as when I started.
I could have never lost
so much time
if my business had failed
to match up with my strengths.”
You won’t love everything
about your business.
I certainly don’t.
But you should love
the core of it.
Because,
unless you’re very lucky,
it will take time
to find your customers.
Loving your business
can push you through
that dry spell.
