072: How to Start Writing a Book, Course, or Workshop

Description:

Going from “zero to one” on a big creative project can be intimidating. If you want to write a book or create a course, where should you begin? Hint: grab a pen and paper and a stack of index cards, not your laptop.


Key Takeaways:

  • Start big projects by asking: what is the key transformation I am hoping to inspire?
  • There is magic to the number 3: it fits in with how we understand the world. When shaping the main pillars of the transformation you’re creating, see if you can break it down into 3 key parts. 
  • People learn in many diverse ways, and as a communicator, try to give them as many different methods for understanding a concept or idea as possible including memes, metaphors, mantras, quotes, statistics, diagrams, research etc. 


⭐️ Permission: 

Forget being linear. You don’t have to start at the beginning and end at the end. Dive into the sections that energize you the most first.

 

⭐️ Do (or Delegate) This Next: 

Indulge your desire for stationary — purchase a tall stack of index cards and start breaking your next big project idea into smaller, bite-sized chunks, then move them around on a big surface (like your dining room table) until themes emerge.
