If you want to do something the best answer is to start AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Not later. Not tomorrow.
NOW.
So if you want to write a book, start today.
Start a podcast? Pull out that phone and record yourself today.
Start a business? Talk to a potential customer today.

Spoke to a third grade class today. A student asked "How does it feel to be an author?"
How would you respond?
Will share my response later :)

I've learned so much from this powerful concept. We can't pursue the safe option and think we will grow. We won't. We will just pursue the status quo.

Public service notice: If you encounter a long sales page with insane promises or endless scrolling, just move on.
Whenever someone is not honest and straightforward with you, they are either A) lying to you, B) wasting your time, or C) both.

Most #podcasters never write books. But most should. Writing a book is an amazing way to grow your podcast, grow your business, and even find new clients.

I was so inspired by the talk from Preston Dyches at #Story2022 yesterday.
He encouraged us to imagine what’s possible in the world when you’re reminded of who you are.

Don't take the most complicated route possible.
Your brain WANTS this to be hard.
But if there's a simple solution right in front of you, you're obliged to take it.

Boxers only land 30% of their punches.
The best baseball players have a batting average of 34%.
Stop trying to be perfect. Start aiming to hit the mark every day regardless of how you feel.

You're NEVER too old to write a book.

We want security.
We don't want to fail.
But doing creative work means embracing fear and the unknown.

One day, someone will pick up your book, and your words will make a difference.
They will help the reader escape to a different world, or maybe they’ll remind them of something important.
Your words matter. Keep writing.

I'm so honored to get a review like this one!
"Bite the Bullet" was so fast-paced and action-packed that I could barely put it down. Jim's storytelling is blunt and raw, just like his subject matter.
