80% of goals don’t last longer than a month. If you want to achieve your goals as an author, then listen up. I’ve got what you need to succeed in your author career.
Crushing your author goals
I’m thrilled that I was asked to be a guest on The Writer’s Journey for the second time!
“It’s a brand new year for change and growth, a good time to look back on the past year and reflect on how we’d like to grow in the year to come. Because as writers, artists, and freelancers, we’re always striving to do better.
Author and coach Roland Denzel joins us to discuss that very thing, setting your goals and accomplishing them.
And, as we like to do on Keystroke Medium, we’re going to tackle those goals together.”
