I have written and published 8 books in 3 years.
– I coach aspiring authors to write their books
– I run a newsletter to help creators to write, grow and monetize their content.
– My secret is that I do everything NEW as an experiment.
This is not just a bold statement to shock you
But an insight I gained in the past 6 years of my creative life.
– When I started my blog, it was an experiment.
– When I started my newsletter, it was an experiment.
– When I wrote my first book in 7 days, it was an experiment.
– When I launched my coaching business, it was an experiment.
Believe me when I tell you to think in terms of experiments
(I have two half-PhDs in science, I know what I am talking about 😎).
When you do something as an experiment:
– You don’t expect too much from it.
– You’re not attached to a particular outcome.
– You keep your mind open to other possibilities.
– You follow steps in a certain order and make observations.
Even if your experiment fails, you learn something from it.
That ‘something’ could be what not to do next time.
Which leads to what ‘else’ to do to succeed.
The success lies in ‘doing’ all the steps
rather than ‘doing’ them correctly.
The outcome does matter.
Doing does.
P.S. What are you doing currently that could be treated as an experiment?
