RED 234: Jon Acuff's Finish


Listen Later

Jon Acuff makes writing (and selling) books easy. How does he do it?

He actually finishes them. Without this part, any work you do on a book (or other project) might as well not exist.

In other words, if you're not going to finish, why even start? Even a project that's "99% complete" is about as helpful as a piece of exercise equipment you've only used once.

In his new book, Finish - Give Yourself The Gift Of Done, Jon Acuff talks about the most important part of the creative process -- how to finish.
