If your book launch didn't go the way you planned and you've been quietly wondering what that means for your book's future, this episode is specifically for you. Jenn breaks down the three most common reasons launches underperform (none of which are the book itself), the four-step recovery framework that turns a disappointing launch into consistent long-term sales, and the most important mindset shift for any author on the other side of a launch that didn't land.
