You’re the author of your life—so are you writing the story, or letting others write it for you?
Show Notes: In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor draws parallels between writing a book and writing your life story. Just like an author starts with rough drafts and discovers clarity through revision, you gain direction in life by taking action—even if it’s messy at first.
Baylor explains the power of knowing your “ending” in each season of life: whether it’s a health goal, a career milestone, or a personal transformation. Without a clear finish line, you wander. But when you define what December 31st looks like, or how you want to feel by a specific date, you can reverse engineer the steps to get there.
Instead of being a side character in your own story, step into the author’s chair. Begin writing—even if it’s a rough draft—and move with purpose toward the life you actually want.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why taking imperfect first steps matters more than waiting for perfection
How to visualize and define the “ending” of your current season
The peace that comes from knowing where you’re headed
Why efficiency—not nonstop grind—gets you to your goals
How to stop being a side character and start authoring your own story
Featured Quote: "Too many people that could have best-selling author lives are sitting on the sideline with their rough drafts."
