38: Getting the ISBN, Perfectionism, and Surrender

This is for you authors! Join me as I share what I went through applying for the ISBN for my book, and what I learned about myself, upon reflection. I talk about the ISBN application a lot because, quite frankly, I was shocked that it was free in my country, Malaysia. A part of this conversation is to promote that aspect -- the fact that the National Library of Malaysia offers it for free makes the journey for self-publishing a lot easier. Publishing a book is already costly, so I was immensely grateful!I hope you learn a thing or two from my clumsy journey.Love,Yasmin Everything: http://linktr.ee/pauseuniverse Book Is There Love Here?: https://books2read.com/ISTHERELOVEHERETwitter: @yasminjasmyEtsy (46-page Healing Workbook): https://www.etsy.com/listing/1220613070/discount-70-healing-guided-digital-and?ref=listings_manager_gridEmail: support@mind-pause.comWebsite: www.mind-pause.com Disclaimer: The contents of the Pause with Yasmin podcast are for informational purposes only.
