32. 3 Ways to Achieve a Big Goal (like writing a book)

Listen Later

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being interviewed for my favorite podcast, Clarity on Fire. That episode went live on a couple weeks ago and you can listen here. It was such a great conversation!

Before I got to chat with Kristen, she sent over a few topics to prepare, and there was one that we didn’t get to talk about (because we were too busy talking about so many other great things!), but my brain/heart/soul couldn’t let it go. So, I recorded this podcast for you to answer this one question:

“What advice do you have for someone trying to achieve a big goal, like writing a book?”

My answer has three parts: one, developing a mindset of inevitability; two, have a plan but follow your flow; three, take small, consistent steps (that are actually messy, ugly, and tiny)

Listen in as I share:

  • how I surrendered to the inexplicable (and possibly illogical) desire to do something that I just wanted to
  • how I used a plan to keep me unstuck, but not as a tool for forcing anything
  • how I reconciled with my perfectionism, which is the real reason why making consistent progress on a goal is SO hard for me
