Ep. 62: The Mindset Hacks That Helped Me Write a Book in 10 Days

About this episode

In this episode, Stephanie Finigan shares the mindset hacks that enabled her to write a book in just 10 days.

Recently, I finished writing a book in 10 days, which is something I've never done before. In this episode, I break down what actually made that possible: 1) recognizing the voice in my head that says “this is stupid,” 2) setting an aggressively short deadline, and 3) looking for evidence that what I wanted to do is possible. If you’ve been sitting on an idea for years, this episode is your nudge to finally go for it. You get to decide it's possible.
