Tommy Baker is the author of UnResolution: How to Ditch Resolutions Forever, Live Life by Design, and Achieve Your Dreams. In addition to this, he is the Host of Resist Average Academy; weekly podcast that inspires, motivates and helps others create power results in the lives. As a 3x guest of Rules of Success, we’ve discussed a lot of incredible topics with Tommy that all fit into the tenets of this show; balancing life in the 4 key areas of health, business, relationships and being. For this interview, we do a deep dive with Tommy about the creative process as he prepares to release his first book; UnResolution on March 21, 2017. He describes his book as “a philosophy, a way of life, a proven, tested, and simple way to achieve the results you’ve aimed for, once and for all.” We discuss with him the ups and down, successes and challenges of the writing process and how to take advantage of the opportunity to share our very own story since “everyone of us has a book inside us.” Tidbits from the show: 1. Choosing to commit, and holding yourself to that commitment is the difference between success and failure. 2. Consistency over the long term is KEY to writing. 3. Using an outline is one of the most effective ways to shorten the process of writing a book. 4. Writing long form posts on social media is a great training ground for preparing to write a book. 5. Try using the Pomodoro Technique; 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off. It safeguards agains writers block. 6. There is a scientific way to address any creative project you take upon yourself. Learn the science and make it easier. 7. Go read “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield. 8. Books are great for inspiration, but lasting change happens when you apply the knowledge via a course or seminar. 9. Consume books in more than one format; audio and reading. 10. Don’t move forward from reading a book until you’ve implemented one thing from the book and can prove it. 11. ADD Experiences to your list of goals. Not just health, business, relationships and being.. Experiences as well. 12. Momentum is KEY. Once you have it, the way you keep it is via rituals and routines. 13. Making a morning routine that you enjoy is vital to a successful day. 14. Use the coupon code SUCCESS50 and you’ll get 50% off of the UnResolution Course that we discuss! 15.
