Just in the nick of time I managed to complete my Q1 goal which was… write an ebook!
(Yeah… told you I’d be talking about that a bit this week!)
This is a BIG deal for me because it’s a lot of firsts:
First ebook published
First product created
First sales page written
There was massive Resistance holding me back from getting this done. Lots of the usual fear and self-doubt.
But… know what? …
I ONLY got it done because I’d been talking about it for SOOO LOOONG here on my email list.
I’d already missed my January goal for completing it.
And then I changed the topic entirely!
So didn’t want the embarrassment having yet another flip-flop or delay!
So… there’s a tip, if you’re thinking of doing something like this…
Having motivation (both internal and external) can be super-helpful!
My other tip is…
Don’t be a perfectionist.
I’m allowed to say this because I’m a recovering one.
I know my book isn’t perfect. I know this all-too-well after reading the “final” version. And then recording the audiobook.
There’s parts that are a bit repetitive. Or don’t flow as well as they could. And there’s probably something I should have said but didn’t.
But when the first person to read it through said, “I REALLY liked it, Chris. Really.”…
It kinda helped me get over that perfectionist thing.
And reminded me that it really does need to be out there in the world. As it has something helpful to offer people.
I’m happy if just one person buys it. Although I do think its a great product. (Not biased… AT ALL! 😉)
For me, it’s a proof of concept. And…
I guess I can say I’ve “proved the concept.”
I want to encourage any of you who are thinking about doing something like this to… and I know it’s the cliché-of-the-century, but…
Stop thinking about it… and start doing it!
It’s hard, yes. But… so worth it!
