Choosing Peace Over Profit: A Lesson in Knowing Your Capacity

I've been promoting my new 2024 Goals Journal, with sales directed through Amazon. Some colleagues in my industry questioned this decision, pointing out the lower profit margins and lost opportunities for gathering customer leads. They're not wrong, but I've been in the publishing game since 1999, and this year, I'm prioritizing peace over profit.

Here's my rationale: by selling through Amazon, my customers enjoy faster service and shipping, the convenience of a trusted platform, and the option to use their holiday gift cards. More importantly, it spares me the stress of daily post office trips. This decision reflects a deeper understanding of my capacity. I've chosen to focus on what I can manage comfortably without overextending myself. It's about recognizing limits and making choices that align with personal and professional well-being.

In the relentless pursuit of success, it's easy to forget the importance of knowing and respecting our capacity. Balancing ambition with well-being is crucial.
