Nobody said writing a book would be easy, but it is possible. With the steps laid out in How to Write and Publish a Book in 30 Days, prospective authors are not left to figure out the maze of how and what to do next on their own. I have provided guidance on when and how. 
Donna is at the end of her journey - I'd have to say this is the most difficult part of the whole thing. Why? Because you get feedback on your heart and soul - whether it's fiction or non-fiction - as a writer, it's a part of you! Combine that with all the "i"s that need to be dotted and "t"s that need to be crossed - getting the cover designed and the manuscript edited and finalized. There are a lot of pieces. 
Regardless of how frustrating the process, especially the end, with all the tasks that need to be done, Power Woman is showing her might! I hope you are enjoying Donna's day-by-day video journal of her experience - and that you too will find the courage to push out of your comfort zone and achieve your dreams.

Don't watch the clock; do what it does - keep going! Back from a well-deserved vacation. Power Woman is back and on task to get her book completed. It's been a while. She's not out Black Friday shopping. Instead she is getting stuff done!

When you get this close to achieving your dream, it becomes so real that you begin to live it. If you have been following this journey from the beginning, you know that there were times where giving up seemed to be an option. Even with 2 chapters to go and 1 more day of a 30 day journey Donna feels like a success! She has truly learned through this process the true meaning of a successful mindset! 

It's crazy as we get towards the fulfillment of our dream, how all of a sudden we can 'feel' it and envision it fully - it's like all of a sudden what we hoped more than we believed takes root as a belief and then becomes real. This happens for Donna today... check it out!

Most of us have set out with great intentions to achieve a goal, yet a few days or weeks in a monkey wrench got thrown into the mix and we altered our path and eventually gave up on the goal. Motivation is something that has to be worked at. It's a choice of focused thought on the end goal - but more importantly it requires focus on the 'why' behind the goal. 
Today Power Woman talks about doing it all - monkey wrenches and all - and how she keeps going.

In the book, How to Write a Book and Publish in 30 Days, I explain to my budding authors that they will find so many people that say that they are writing a book. When you inquire farther and ask how long they have been writing, it's usually years. That's because they have a goal without a plan, which isn't really a goal, it's just an idea. They keep playing with this idea, but it never fully comes to fruition. 
Donna Fields, Power Woman, has been diligently executing her plan, that is laid out in the book. She's now on Day 26 and years ahead of most people that have been playing with the idea of writing a book. Listen to what she has going on with her book.
​How to Write and Publish a Book doesn't just give you day by day instructions for getting the writing portion completed, but also all of the daily activities to get your book published. Have a listen ya'll!

With her goal in sight, Power Woman has learned the secret to achieving goals is to make sure that you are focused on the end result. What do you want to achieve? Having lost chapters of her book and determination to pour it on for this final push to the finish, Donna is giving us no excuses. She's vlogging anywhere and anytime it's convenient for her (total self-love ..... such a good student) and writing every opportunity that she can. She's understanding that by freeing herself to focus on her dream and not on all the details of "how", it's happening! Sometimes we just need to get out of our own way!

We seem to like to think that we have it all figured out and know exactly what steps to take because we have come to the brilliant conclusion that "this" is the best or the "only" way to get the task accomplished. What if how you planned things doesn't work? And what if you are focusing on the wrong thing? 
Today, Donna finds the answer to this - and I don't know about you, but I love seeing Donna smile! Look, when everything hits the fan, we can cave to our circumstances or we can realize that we have Power Within to choose to smile. Listen to why Donna is smiling after losing entire chapters of her book!

Today, Donna is determined to successfully complete her 30 day challenge and has called in the troops to help her achieve her goal and #makeithappen.

Why is important when you fall off the horse to get right back on and continue down the path? Fear and doubt! If you don't get back on the horse and continue from the point that you are, you will be stuck standing in fear and doubt. 
Today Donna is determined to not let her recent setback stop her. She has found a solution and is getting back on the horse. Get 'er done PowerWoman!
