It was an amazing day as I wrapped up my book, Winning After The Game, which can be found at http://winningafterthegame.com

 

But promoting this book is not what this episode is about.

It’s about the importance of the concepts I learned from Seth Godin‘s bookLinchpin to get my book published in the first place.

I was expanding so fast after writing Love Your Life, I was growing faster than the chapters I had written.

I wanted perfection.

That little voice of resistance kept saying that I needed to hire another editor as I kept following up with my book, yet there were still parts that I hated.

Why?

Because I’m constantly growing, but once a book is published, it stays in that state. Therefore, I thought that I was stuck in that state as well. I resisted the shipping because I was constantly growing, but ultimately the most important thing is to SHIP IT.

And move forward.

You’re going to deal with resistance whenever you do things that matter.

When you face resistance, whether it’s in working out or becoming more spiritual, it’s going to come after you.

Ship your message.

Do not let anything stop you, including yourself, to SHIP your message, even if there’s imperfections.

Ask yourself:

* Where in my life have I been resisting moving forward because I’m too focused on perfection before I launch? 

* What is my message?

* What can I do today to get one step closer to getting that message out to the marketplace? 

Resistance tried to stop me but I pushed through, and so can you. SHIP IT!
