Description
Book SynopsisGet out of your own way and bring your ideas to life!
Exactly Where to Start is a playbook for everyone with a great idea, everyone with a goal in mind, and everyone with a specific destination but no journey. We've been told all our lives that good things come to those who waitbut that's a myth. Good things come to those who do. Too often, we get stuck in the getting ready stage: research, analysis, brainstorming, and more research; we feel like we need to know everything there is to know about what we want to do before we ever take the first steps. Meanwhile, the people who actually go out and do the thing are taking risks, learning lessons, and making strides toward their goals every single day. Isn't it time you joined them?
This book coaches you through the journey with precise, actionable steps that help you take that all-important first leap and keep the momentum going. Discard the distractions, break through the overwhelm, and get go
