From Impossible to Achievable: Overcoming Obstacles to Write Your Book

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. -Michelangelo

If your dream of writing a book feels impossible in this moment, ask yourself why?

The flame of desire is already lit inside you.

So what’s holding you back?

Is it the “how” overwhelms you?

Here’s a really simple solution. Start.

Yes, just start.

I never wrote a book, not a complete book, until I did it the very first time. And I had 15 years of failure proving I was a fool to believe this time would be any different.

But over those 15 years of “failure” I learned how to write and FINISH a book. Starting was never the issue. Finishing, well, that was a whole different story.

I wrote the book using a detailed outline – the thing I flat-out refused to do during those 15 years of “failure.”

I aimed high. I refused to let anything stop me. I refused to accept “good enough” or “maybe tomorrow.”

I did all the things this time that I didn’t do before.

And I succeeded. And I honed my skills and my process some more. And I succeeded again. Rinse and repeat and now I have 50 published books.

It all seems surreal on one hand, yet simple and expected on the other.
