ATG 275 | What Are You Waiting For? The Question That Changed My Life at 37

from All It Takes Is A Goal · host Jon Acuff

I spent two years preparing to write my first book. You know what finally got it done? Writing one terrible page on a Tuesday afternoon in a Burger King. For years, I sang Colin Hay's "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" hundreds of times while stuck in Nashville traffic, living in complete quicksand. Then in 2013, I started my own company and lost all my support systems overnight. I had one employee, and that employee was terrible. It was me. In this episode, I'm sharing the embarrassing situation that forced me to stop procrastinating, the constant battle between responsible me and procrastinating me, and the one question that changed everything: What are you waiting for? This is the first episode in our procrastination series, and it's a sneak peek from my new book Procrastination Proof, which comes out April 14th.
