036 | Mel Robbins Shares How NOT Making the NY Times Best Seller List Led to Success! Mel Robbins is the international best-selling author of The 5 Second Rule, one of the most booked speakers in the world, and a social media influencer reaching more than 20 million people a month. If you were to ask any entrepreneur for their top 10 book list from 2017, I'd bet that a majority of them would have The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins, on the list. It is the most downloaded, self-published books on Audible, but what you may not realize is that Mel experienced some pretty serious NO's during the publishing process, but she NEVER allowed them to get her down for too long. Choosing to be a self-published author comes with its own set of difficulties, but add to the mix that Tony Robbins' book was going to publish on the same day, you are left with a pretty stressful situation. Mel's philosophy? Get comfortable with the unknown! It may not be fun, but if you practice being in this state BIG THINGS can happen! In this episode, Mel shares some rarely heard stories of publishing her book and how NOT making the NY Times Best Seller list eventually led to major success for her.
