The Hardest Thing You Will Do As An Author

The hardest and most challenging thing you will do as an entrepreneur and author isn’t writing your book. 

Instead, it’s going all in on your dreams. 

When you go all in, you have to:

Stop hedging.

Stop hiding.

Stop pretzeling (my word for people pleasing).

Stop being a consumer in the world of online entrepreneurship (where you buy help and attend all the classes and calls, but don’t take consistent action and therefore don’t get consistent results).

Stop putting other people’s needs, desires, and preferences first. 

Stop thinking that the doubts you have mean anything outside of the very real factual truth that you’re a human and this is what human brains do. (I have doubts too — and when I doubt myself, I think “doubts are normal but so is success.”)

Stop wondering when you’ll succeed and reach your goal, and instead put time and effort into the small steps that you can take to move toward that eventual success.

When someone tells me that they’re going to go all in, I feel really excited for them. 

I know from personal experience how scary but also how important that declaration is, especially when you say it to someone else. You’re saying I believe in me. 

And when you believe in yourself  — like, truly believe in yourself and the very real possibility that your dreams can come true — anything is possible. 

Especially when you get the right help.
