About Motivational Press

With over 75 top best-selling titles in the past two years alone, Motivational Press is the leading publisher of non-fiction titles worldwide. Specializing in business, self-help, health and wellness, finance, and leadership, Motivational Press has quickly become a renowned leader in publishing, distribution, marketing, and promotions for their authors.  

In the words of Justin Sachs, CEO of Motivational Press:

"Nothing is more powerful to one's clients nor empowering to oneself than to have a book. There's almost this magical aurora that an author gets that transforms their credibility, skyrockets their visibility, and enhances their overall success."

Common Flaw in Self-Publishing

“It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn’t. ” ~Martin Van Buren 

According to an article in Forbes, written by Suw Charman-Anderson, “If there’s a common flaw in self-publishing, it’s that too many books are published too soon. Experienced voices across the publishing world continually advise self-publishers to get help with editing, and not just copyediting but story editing too.”

Forbes contributor then continues on by asking two poignant questions:  

1.  "Do you really want, in five or ten years time, to look back on your early work and cringe?  More to the point,

2.  Do you really want your first act of publishing to result in the irreversible blotting of your copybook with your potential fans?"

Referring back to Martin Van Buren's quote above, better to get the job done right head on than having to explain why you didn't later when you had the choice.  By investing your three valuable assets of time, energy, and finances in doing the job right from the start, you will be gaining and generating time, energy, and revenues in the long-term.  Equally important, you will be recognized and respected for stellar work, as opposed to "your name being married permanently, to sub-standard work which doesn’t show off your talents to their best" (the text in quotes is taken from Forbes article referenced above).
