So here's the thing. I can teach you everything you need to know about writing and publishing and selling a book. (And when I say everything, I do mean EVERYTHING).
But guess what - that's not enough.
You know how I know? Because if it were, you'd have written your freakin' book already!
Knowing the 'stuff' - the strategy, the how-to is all well and good. But if you can't actually manage your mind, then it's not going to get you very far.
You can logically understand how to structure your book, but if you can't get your chimp brain to shut the fuck up, you're never going to push through the resistance to get the work done.
So that's what we're talking about in today's episode. Because when you can get wise to how your brain is working to derail the process, then you can get a handle on it and get the book DONE AND DONE.
