Ep33 | When Book Sales Hijack Your Joy: 4 Steps to Take Back Control
Send me a message!Are you letting Amazon measure your anointing? Is your joy tied to a royalty report?Do you find yourself checking your KDP dashboard multiple times a day—and letting the numbers determine your confidence, peace, or even your calling?In this raw and honest episode, I invite you into a heart-level conversation about the hidden emotional toll of tracking sales performance. If your mood rises and falls with your KDP stats, this is your wake-up call—and your encouragement.We’ll explore why so many Christian writers unknowingly base their worth on what’s selling (or not), how pride can wear the mask of productivity, and why true freedom begins when we surrender the refresh button and embrace God's definition of success.You'll leave with a practical mindset reset, biblical perspective, and a 4-step dashboard detox plan that will help you write from freedom—not for it.Let’s break the cycle together.Reddit post: reddit.com/r/selfpublish/comments/ror7k1/anyone_else_is_a_bit_weird_and_keep_refreshing/Support the show🎁 Are you called to write?
