What I Learned After Writing My First Motivational Book

by Alex Rivera

When I sat down to write Mind Reset – 7 Days to Rewire Your Mind and Change Your Life, I had no idea where it would lead. I didn’t have a publishing deal, a huge audience, or a marketing plan.

What I had was frustration—and a notebook full of mindset shifts that had quietly changed my life.

I wrote the book I needed to read: short, structured, and practical. A 7-day plan to help readers break free from mental loops and regain clarity, confidence, and control.

✍️ Here's what I learned along the way:

1. People crave simplicity—especially in self-help.

We’re all overwhelmed. That’s why I designed Mind Reset to give readers one powerful shift per day, instead of overwhelming them with theory. The feedback I received confirmed it: small steps can create big change.

2. Writing the book is only half the journey.

Publishing is the easy part. Reaching readers is the challenge. I learned to wear many hats—author, designer, marketer, community builder. And each role taught me something new about communication, clarity, and showing up consistently.

3. You don’t need to be an “expert”—you need to be honest.

I wrote from personal experience, not a psychology degree. And that authenticity resonated. Readers don’t want perfection—they want truth, structure, and encouragement.

If you're an aspiring author: write the book that’s burning inside you. And if you're a reader on a mindset journey of your own, thank you for letting Mind Reset be part of it.
