Episode notes
Start With Your Selfish Why
- Decide your primary selfish goal for the book before anything else and optimize the plan around it.
- Chandler contrasts internal (business growth) and external (helping people) whys and says prioritize what matters most to you.
Only Proceed If Priority Is High
- Honestly rate how high a priority the book is on a 1–10 scale and pause if it's below a seven.
- Chandler warns that anything below a seven likely means stop pretending and revisit the project later.
Create A Compelling Why Now
- Give yourself a compelling deadline for why now so it propels you through hard parts.
- Examples Chandler cites include an upcoming speaking gig, a due date around a pregnancy, or other urgent life reasons.
