BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT
I have self published my very first book!!!
I am one year into a five year plan to retire more comfortably. There are plenty of new tricks this old dog is willing to learn. It is good for the MIND.
WHY TRIFECTA?
Well, I knew it was a fancy way of saying triple; but in a slam dunk of success kind of way. I googled it and found:
“a group of three successful or significant things, events or achievements happening together, often used to describe a perfect combination.”
“A set of three elements that work perfectly together”
My journal is designed to aid in BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT working together to achieve something better in one’s life.
THE HISTORY
This journal is something that has had a very long gestation period in my brain. Perhaps even as long as five years! A dear friend of over 40 years is a motivational teacher. He did a deep dive into the many parts that make up our being and balancing all those parts. What he said really- well-MOTIVATED me. With pen and blank notebook in hand, I created my own multi-faceted page layout based on his talk and began setting goals, hopes and dreams for myself. In a short amount of time, it truly helped turn some things around and get me from just surviving to THRIVING.
THE JOURNEY
Cut to me turning a certain age and really wanting to retire. I began looking into what I could do as a side hustle to pad my future income AND stay busy enough in retirement. I asked myself: What could I create over the next five years, while I DON’T need the extra income, that will be up and running providing the cushion between my future pension and my current income?
I googled all sorts of things. Which, of course, lead to social media algorithms posting all sorts of ads and get rich quick, get rich slow schemes. I spent hours filtering and watching and discerning what seemed legitimate and what jived with my personality.
One thing that stuck out was publishing books. I recontacted my friend and invited him to join me…that I was ready to JUMP in the waters. He was on the other end of my phone all the way! I owe much gratitude for his interest, encouragement, positivity and insight.
I have plans to edit this journal….but DON’T WAIT FOR THAT! Buy THIS one NOW!
We have plans to go deeper on a new journal more closely aligned with the life changing – it’s practically a TED talk–motivations that he was espousing.
I also have three other books (not journals) simmering away. Each of them are completely unrelated, because-again- we are all multi-faceted creatures! It’s going to be an exciting five years.
THE LEARNING CURVE
I made every mistake in the book. I found some fantastic tutorials on YouTube. I will be learning all about social media marketing. I will also be staying motivated to complete the other book ideas that I have and get those self-published. I prefer to have the product before the push. When all of that is said and done (hopefully over the next two years) I will then look to another learning curve and get them published a different way. For now, it’s Amazon Kindle Print on Demand department. Its quick, easy enough and no cost. I have already learned that there are other ways to sell self published books but I am going to focus on getting more of them written first. That’s the beauty of this journey. Once I retire, they will be written and I will work on other avenues of promotion and publishing.
