Hi… thank you so much for watching.

If you go to the dentist twice a year – but do nothing else for the health of your teeth, like brush them – your teeth will eventually get cavities and rot away. The key to healthy teeth is consistency, brushing them every single day.

The same thing with exercise. As nice as it would be, you can’t go to the gym for one day and expect to have a six-pack the next. Transforming your body through exercise requires a commitment to the daily grind of working out consistently.

The same is also true with becoming a published picture book author. Results happen over time. You just can’t expect to crank out a manuscript in a day and see it published the next. Getting a picture book published is all about consistency over intensity. As author Robert Collier put it, “Success is the sum of small efforts – repeated day in and day out.”

Now I know that is no glamorous, it is not exciting. It doesn’t really sound like fun. But it works.

The small steps you take day in and day out, even if they feel unrelated to your dream of becoming a published picture book author, will help you reach your goal. In future videos, I’ll dive into the exact steps to take every day to create consistency and fortify your commitment to becoming a published picture book author.
