.
Be self-confident – believe in the possibility of your own success.
If you don’t believe in yourself, why should anyone else?  To be successful you need to hone your writing craft enough to become really successful.

.
Commit to writing.
It might sound obvious, but a writer writes.  Dedicate yourself to an idea, and make it a habit to write at a certain time of the day – every day – no matter what.

.
Learn how to motivate yourself.
Successful writers are highly motivated for their writing, they know exactly what that motivation is, and what they need to do to regain it, if they lose it from time to time.

.
Take control of your live.
Your competence to tackle writing books is the better way than to wait for a mentor to tell you exactly what you need to do with your writing life.  If you want to get your novel(s) published, you need to be the one who gets things moving.

.
Connect with others – readers and writers.
Learning to connect with others makes you a better writer, a better communicator, and improves the chances of people liking you and your books. It also will improve your book ideas. Don’t hide behind the “being a shy writer”.

.
Connect with your own purpose and values.
Successful authors know that their values show in their own writing and tell the world who they are. Accept how worthwhile and valuable it is to the world, and offer it without reservation, like a personal mission.

.
Use Affirmations to motivate yourself.
All successful authors have used affirmations at some stage in their lives to propel them forward, create some for yourself and you will be able to claim your rightful place among successful authors.

.
Set goals for yourself.
Set checkpoints for yourself along the way.  Successful authors know exactly what they are trying to achieve, and continually make steps towards their goals.  Create your own path to success.

.
Write, write and write even more.
Stephen King said it famously: “Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work”. Successful people have actually written their books. Commitment can only be measured by action.

.
Self-Management is important.
Successful writers learn to manage their time which is the most precious, free good they have. Spend more time on the things that are important! Find ways to remove stress from your live.

.
Make writing part of your happiness.
It’s the only thing that matters. Write about the things that truly matter to you; that entertain you, interest you, and it will contribute to your happiness in the long term – success will follow.

.
Last but not least:  have patience and perseverance!
Create a plan, have patience and discipline, faith in yourself and have a long-term perspective.  Remember the 10,000-hour-rule for writers – or five years and five books – and you will succeed!
