We've all heard that phrase at least one time in our life: "you just have to work really hard at what you're doing." It's a phrase that can send people off on long excursions only to return to where they started.
As a writer, it's easy to think of "working hard" as simply putting the time in. Make my outline. Do my edits. Make sure you're writing 30 minutes a day. That all sounds well and good. But, what about our approach to these things? What are our expectations?
In this episode, I'll be tackling this topic as well as how my own sense of entitlement led me off the rails financially. And gave me a rather large wakeup call in the process.
