One of the things that I like to do on my birthday, I just mentioned, I just turned 47 years old. And anytime I have a birthday, I want to reflect on the past year, you know, what I'm proud of, what went well, potentially what could have gone differently, and then forecast and look out, okay, over that next year, what are the goals that I have? You know, what am I looking forward to? And what things can I do better differently or do more of that work great? One of the things that I realized for me, and I don't know if you feel this way, is that I've noticed I am not a patient person. And the older I get, the more I notice it, right? So I stopped myself and started thinking back to what I first got into the radio business when I was 22 years old, right?
And I left the radio business when I was 43. So over 20 years in one industry. Obviously, after 20 years in an industry, you're going to be an expert. You're going to be incredibly well known. You're going to have tremendous contacts. Well, when I got fired, I started over as a first time author and then new to the speaking business and then new to the podcasting world. I was a rookie in everything. Right. But I was so used to being the expert because I had been in media for so long that I never stopped to say to myself, wait a minute. you need to compare yourself to your 22-year-old version of yourself getting into radio. So I don't know if you fall into that same category as someone who puts tremendous pressure on yourself, has no patience, and really doesn't give yourself that... runway that you may need to find success. So I know that for me, the past few years, since I got fired, I just have this tremendous, I have very high expectations for myself because I've achieved massive success in another industry.
However, I found I need to be, you know, good things take time, great things take even longer. And I'm starting to really see that firsthand. I want to explain to you how that is. So when I first got fired, the first thing I did was I wrote and self-published my first book, Confidence Creator. I had no idea what I was doing. None, zero, right? Now, fast forward a couple of years, I've done it once. So I have some experience to lean on as well as this time I'm doing it with HarperCollins Leadership. So I have a team of people who are experts, which is incredibly different, right? So it's a very, in just a short window of time, a couple of years, I'm in a very different situation. And it's helping me to gain insight into experience takes time and experience really helps you access more success and do it more seamlessly, right? So for me, I look back on that first book and I didn't even know to pre-promote or do pre-orders. I really didn't have that base of knowledge. And now here we are, it was three months to the day, that the launch will be. It was August 9th.
The book comes out November 9th and the book hit number one new release on Amazon on that day. And I was so excited and so proud. And it took me back to my first book and thinking, wow, I didn't even promote my book three months out because I probably didn't even have it done yet. Or I didn't know how to do it. Or it's just,
