Here’s how it often goes. We have an idea for a book. It can grow inside us for years. We love this idea and we cherish it. Our idea expands and morphs and gives us a sense of having something precious. But I believe our ideas have a shelf life. Our talents are not Twinkies with no expiration date. I also believe that making our ideas real is way more satisfying than holding onto them, cherishing the sense of possibility.
In this episode, I’ll share some of the common pitfalls that keep us at the starting gate of a book or any other project. You’ll hear about the new book I am writing and how I am going through all these pitfalls even though this is my ninth book. And, I’ll give you strategies that help me and my clients get past the obstacles that we stumble over when we get started with a project.
I’ll also share a confession about how I responded to one of my biggest creative wins. It’s not what I expected!
Finally, you’ll hear how I am getting more reading into my days. This is important to me feeling like me and I am grateful I found this way to read more.
