A friend got in touch with me and said she has wanted to write a book for years.

I said. “What’s been keeping you from writing?”

“Well, you know, I’ve been busy, so I start it and then put it aside and then start it and run out of confidence and then start it and get imposter syndrome, so I just go back and forth on it.”

I nodded and said, “Fast forward to the end of your life, when you imagine looking back, what will be one of your biggest regrets?”

She immediately said, “That I never wrote the book that I always wanted to write.”

To which I replied, “We can do something about that!”

If there’s anything I’ve learned about turning reasons into results, it’s that you have to pick a date on the calendar and just get started!
