I still remember the days I checked my KDP dashboard with a knot in my stomach, compared my progress with other authors, and wondered whether my Christian author business would ever earn enough to help support my family.

So when I sat down to plan this special 100th episode, I thought I'd share my best book marketing strategies and the lessons I've learned from eight years of self-publishing. But the more I worked on that list, the more I realized I was leaving out the most valuable advice I could give you.

Because some of the hardest lessons I've learned as a Christian author came from the times I allowed the pressure to succeed, earn more money, and keep up with the publishing industry to distract me from God.

And I paid for it in more ways than one.

In this milestone episode, I'm sharing five biblical habits that changed the way I approach my writing, make business decisions, and pursue profitability while keeping Christ at the center of it all.

I'll share what those difficult seasons taught me, how these habits have shaped my relationship with God and my author business, and why I believe they deserve a place in your life, regardless of how many books you've published or how much you're earning.

If you've been questioning your progress, struggling to stay motivated, or wondering whether all your hard work will ever pay off, I hope you'll join me for this conversation.

After 100 episodes, this is the advice I most want to leave you with.
