Summary

Sometimes small changes can lead to amazing results. I've finally started writing my book after years of putting it off, and soon I will hold in my hand a printed manuscript of my first draft. What changed? I've experienced a major mindset shift, and it has changed so much about my process, and my progress. I've managed to unlock a level of creative freedom and energy that I only dreamed of before, and I want to let you in on it. I am a normal guy. I'm a husband, a dad, a corporate employee. I've worked for large companies my entire career, and I've mostly enjoyed my time there. But for the longest time, I've had this idea that I should be doing more. I wanted to write a book. For most of my life, though, I thought that was simply impossible. Who can write an entire book? That seemed so insurmountable. What am I going to do, quit my job and move to some cabin in the woods? Not very feasible. But I realized that things like writing books weren't reserved for some elite class of people that I could never be a part of. The only thing keeping me from being a writer, I realized, was the fact that I wasn't writing anything! What goal or idea have you been avoiding? Today is a great day to make a plan and start making progress. Because it's not that you haven't done it - it's just that you haven't done it yet. Got a question or idea you'd like to share?

Episode Description

Sometimes small changes can lead to amazing results. I've finally started writing my book after years of putting it off, and soon I will hold in my hand a printed manuscript of my first draft.

What changed?

I've experienced a major mindset shift, and it has changed so much about my process, and my progress. I've managed to unlock a level of creative freedom and energy that I only dreamed of before, and I want to let you in on it.

I am a normal guy. I'm a husband, a dad, a corporate employee. I've worked for large companies my entire career, and I've mostly enjoyed my time there.

But for the longest time, I've had this idea that I should be doing more. I wanted to write a book. For most of my life, though, I thought that was simply impossible. Who can write an entire book? That seemed so insurmountable. What am I going to do, quit my job and move to some cabin in the woods? Not very feasible.

But I realized that things like writing books weren't reserved for some elite class of people that I could never be a part of. The only thing keeping me from being a writer, I realized, was the fact that I wasn't writing anything!

What goal or idea have you been avoiding? Today is a great day to make a plan and start making progress.

Because it's not that you haven't done it - it's just that you haven't done it yet.
