If you have a day job and you prefer to write on the weekends, that’s good too. It just has to be a REGULAR SCHEDULE so that it’s easier to expect it and block it off every week.

Do you find yourself constantly doubting and asking these questions:“Will this business work?” “Do I have time to work on a side business?” “Will anyone buy my stuff?” “Do I have enough money and energy to start this business?”

know you have this BIG GOAL, and you have a BIG WHY…but some days you don’t feel like it. Hell, nobody is enthusiastic and crazy happy every day, that’s weird and psychopathic.

MOST IMPORTANT – Make everyone feel like they won. Remember that you are in a negotiation because everyone wants to win. Everyone wants to find common ground and get on something that is good—or at least, acceptable—for all of the parties involved.

It has been 5 years since my TEDx talk, and I still keep reading, learning, practicing, and observing other speakers.
