The Seven Habits of Highly Ineffecting (at selling oodles of books) People

So, Russell Blake wrote an blog post on The Seven Habits of Highly Ineffective People. He updated his blog post to define effective as "selling oodles of books." Russell is a blunt force in terms of handing you anything, so I take his no-padding style with no animosity.

Here are some things that he pokes at which include me.

2) Shun Marketing
4) Fail to have a production schedule.
5) Jump around a lot of different genres
7) Nickel and Dime Everything

Right now, I am stuck in a no-sales loop. Nothing produces sales, so I want to improve my book selling game, but I can't tell which one thing or multiple things are getting in my way. I have no proof that any risk is worthwhile. So which thing should I address and how should I address it? There's the trick.
