Greetings from Driebergen,
We’re gearing up for the next run of “How to Write Your Worst Book Ever” and I’m already getting the questions about fear, self-doubt, and that old friend: Writer’s Block.
I’ve had it. We’ve all had it. That &*%$#@^ blinking cursor that’s waiting for us to mess it all up with the very first word.
So what do we do?
It doesn’t seem to happen with talking. Most of us can talk. We can talk about anything.
One of the tactics in the program is to “talk your book” or even just talking about a simple idea. Just words out of your mouth.
Want to know another secret?
Dialogue. Conversation. Questions and answers.
That’s the kind of stuff we’re doing in “How to Write Your Worst Book Ever.”
It’s funny how, secretly, stealthily, and sneakily, it’s not really all that much about writing a book and it’s more about breaking through, getting over ourselves, and daring to … speak our story.
Can you talk?
Then you can tell your story. Or get your idea out there.
Oh, and why do that?
Because, IMHO, breaking through with letting the idea free from the confines of your mind is one of the secret ingredients to happiness, purpose, and joy.
Just saying.
SAYING. TALKING.
See you next week.

Greetings from Agua Dulce, Spain,
“So, dad, don’t you want to go to India for 6 months now that you can?”
“No. Not anymore.”
2-hour drive from Malaga to Almeria last night and I think, in two hours, I learned to discard the desires and dreams of the past and rather put the energy towards new dreams of the future.
It saves so much time, energy, and anxiety.
Just like that.
Greetings from Spain where I’m living a dream I didn’t know I had.
Bradley
P.S. That “dad” above isn’t me but … it could be in some years as our dreams adapt to our present-day selves.

Greetings from Driebergen, I’m not terribly interested in people’s January 1 new year’s resolutions. Because, usually, they don’t last. They’re based on a fad or a flame or … who knows. By February, you probably know:

By February, you probably know:
So. It’s Feb. 3. What New Year’s Resolutions are you actually going to stick with?
Sometimes, it takes a third party, another person, an external force, to get you to take action and change.
If you’d like, I’m happy to be that catalyst for change.
I got my (online) world rocked (as I explain in the video) and I’ll need to take major action to change in 2022. One of those things will be a new email address ([email protected]), new domain, and new YouTube channel. It’s right here:
go.repossible.com/youtube
Of course, you’re signed up via email, but if you’d like to sign up for the YouTube channel, there’s the link.
Let me know what your plans are post February 3.
Until next week!

Greetings from rainy Driebergen,
The main pushback I ?get when people are talking to me about the book they want to write it how many pages it needs to be.
?What if it were just one page? ?Just one word? ?
?My thinking?
?If I can publish a book with just one single word as the body, the contents, you can too, right? ?
?Just saying.
Here’s a link to that book (it’s free): ?”The One-Word Book That Will Probably Change Your Life.”
Bradley
?P.S. If you’d like to write a 1-to-oh-I-don’t-know-1,000-word book, join the next class of Worst/First/Shortest Book Ever.

Greetings from Driebergen (and NOT California),
My long-term goal is to strive towards the model that ?Vishen Lakhiani created with Mindvalley.
?But part of me thinks, “Why and how should I even bother striving towards something that’s already there, already established, popular and crazy successful?”
?Think back to when In-N-Out Burger thought about starting and had the same idea about McDonald’s?
?Just saying.

Greetings from cold and dreary Driebergen,
My business coach, my mastermind group, they’re all telling me the same thing:
Did you see how those first two and the third one magically connected? They’re not always like that.
Often you’re not so interested in what you’re good at (I’m good at math but please don’t ask me to do your taxes).
In 2021, the most fun, the most successful, the most requested program and/or book in my repertoire?
Write Your Worst Book Ever
So back for February, 2022 to start off this cold and foggy January day off on an action-taking foot: it’s on.

Greetings from Driebergen,
Back home to sub-freezing temperatures, early sunsets, and … give.
It’s the year to give.
Give a chance. Offer a platform. Share your story.
That’s what my plan is.
Want to be a part of it?
It’s all here below in 8 minutes on the first Thunder of the year.
Happy New Year!

In the first video, I mention the first take or draft. It’s below. Good stuff in there just a bit rambling.
Greetings from Rome,
?Wow, this city is one of those places where there’s a hidden gem around every corner and you’re not sure you could see it all in a week or a month or even a year.
?But you’re going to give it a shot.
?Speaking of what you can do in how much time, that’s one of the books on the agenda for 2022.
?What’s on your agenda for next year?
?Many greetings from a magical Rome.
?Happy New Year!

Greetings from Driebergen,
You know what’s easy?
Netflix.
Sit back, relax, enjoy.
You know what’s harder?
Creating the story.
We could sit back and watch what happens to 2022.
Or we could create our own story. Plan what’s going to happen. Draw a roadmap, no matter how simple or even messy, but take the time to plan the year ahead.
Are you someone who does that?
I’m not.
I just create stuff. It works well. Kinda. Usually.
Better?
Plan and then create stuff.
That’s what I’ll be doing from January 10 to January 14 each morning from 10 AM to Noon live with the guidance of Nicoline Huizinga and Josta Marijn Kolk.
Want to join us? Check it out.
Or have a look at our video chat below.
See you next week.
Happy Holidays!

Greetings from Driebergen,
Three options to do stuff: ?
??DIY: Do It Yourself
?It’s all you. In fact, it’s just you. But brushing your teeth, reading a book, it’s all good all alone.
?Want to do that course self-paced? You go.
Looking for a bit of help? ?It might be time for some …
DWY: ?Done With You
?Teams, collaborations, and together. Coaching, group events, and even retreats (which can also be DIY, of course). Accountability, partnerships, sharing and even, gasp, maybe compromising.
?Bonus Points: ?1 + 1 > 2
?DFY: ?Done For You
?I ?used to do my own taxes (DIY). I ?used to think it was fun. Then it was not fun. Then it became DFY and oh boy oh boy was that the best decision ever.
??What’s DIY for you? ?When do you choose DWY? ?And DFY? ?
?I ?challenged you to do 9. Here are 9 for me, grouped by topic.
?BONUS POINTS if you add frequency.
?Meditation
?Creating
?Mindset, Well-Being, Learning
Whew, that was tougher than I ?thought. How’d you do?
How about how often to do which? ?That sounds like Frequency. That’s coming in 2022.
