Ep 615: A Behind-The-Scenes Look At What It Took to Write Our Book (Two Years, Multiple Deadlines & One Very Stubborn Dream)

In this week’s Biz Besties episode, Nicole and Kaila are getting real about what it looks like when your big dream takes WAY longer than you thought it would.Their book, Aligned CEO Method, is finally launching, but getting here was anything but linear. What started as a book idea in 2024 turned into multiple outlines, shifting launch dates, new coaching, a pregnancy, professional publishing advice, a growing business, and a whole lot of “okay… let's try this again.” They share the behind-the-scenes of the two-year journey and three big lessons: how to keep going when something doesn't work, how to know when you're ready, and why perfectionism can keep you tweaking instead of actually shipping.What You’ll Take Away From This Episode:Why your big dream may take longer than you originally planned—and why that doesn't mean you're failing.How to know when it's time to keep going, pivot, or change the plan without abandoning the bigger vision.What Nicole and Kaila learned from multiple book deadlines and launch dates.Why iteration is a normal part of building a business, not proof that you got it wrong.How perfectionism can keep entrepreneurs stuck in endless edits, tweaks, and preparation.Why you eventually have to execute and ship instead of waiting for everything to be perfect.How outside mentorship, coaching, and expert advice helped them make better decisions along the way.Why your business and your vision are allowed to evolve as you evolve. If you've ever thought “I should be further along by now,” this episode is your reminder that your timeline doesn't determine whether your dream is worth pursuing.Sometimes the plan changes and life happens, but you don't have to give up on the dream just because you have to change the route.And after two years of iterations, Aligned CEO Method is finally launching September 18.
