As the UK is heating up right now, I am finishing up a huge week at Grant Method Coaching. Writing - and publishing - my very own book has always been a dream of mine.
Even though I've managed to get many (scientific) articles published over the past few years, I struggled with getting my words put on the paper. Only eight weeks ago, I finally had enough and I hired a book coach.
He helped me structure my book (within a week!) and we've just uploaded the final version of the book to Amazon.
It's been a very interesting journey as I put my raw and personal story in this book which will be available from Friday, 13th of August. To be completely honest, I've felt, more often than not, completely naked when sharing these very personal - sometimes really traumatic - experiences.
Why did I do it anyway if it made me feel that uncomfortable?
With this book, I hope to inspire others and open up the dialogue about the importance of mental health to success and business strategy even more.
With the hustle culture widely promoted as a solid success strategy and many of us suffering from anxiety, burnout or other (stress-related) health issues, it is clear that we need a different strategy if we want to continue to grow our business and not ruin our health or relationships in the process.
The funny thing was, I started writing this book a whopping three years ago and it wasn't until I decided to hire help that I actually managed to move through the struggle and get my book ready for publication. So what took me three years to decide, took me eight weeks to write, design and publish it.
Absolutely fascinating to see how quickly things can change.
What is something you got stuck on for the longest time but changed when you made the decision to do something different?
