- Stop wasting energy trying to convince people who cannot see your vision.
- Decide, commit, and use your resources on the work, not on persuading skeptics.

- Rachel wrote her first novel, got rejected by publishers, then self-published Party Girl.
- That self-published book later led to a publisher deal and launched her writing career.

- Focus on what excites you because your authentic voice attracts the right audience.
