1. Failure helps you discovers
yourself
She went from living on state benefits
to multi-millionaire status within 5 years.
2. Take action on your ideas
The Harry Potter books have become the
best-selling book series in history.
3. You will be criticized
Anticipating that the target audience
of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers
asked that she use two initials, rather than her full name.
4. Remember where you started
She was diagnosed with clinical
depression which she claims gave her inspiration to create the Dementors in the
Potter series.
5. #Believe
Twelve publishing houses rejected her
original Harry Potter manuscripts, but eventually small publisher Bloomsbury
gave her a chance with a small advance.
6. There is always trepidation
She conceived the idea for Harry
Potter in 1990. The 7 years that followed saw the death of her mother, divorce
from her first husband and relative poverty until Rowling finished the first
novel.
7. Life is not a checklist of
achievements
She named communist and civil rights
activist Jessica Mitford as her "most influential writer".
8. Persevere
She's the United Kingdom's
best-selling living author, with sales in excess of £238m.
9. Dreams can happen
In 2010, she was named the "Most
Influential Woman in Britain" by leading magazine editors.
10. We have the power to imagine
better
Harry Potter is now a global brand
worth an estimated US$15 billio
