Good evening. I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and leadership coach. This is Luna Lovegood, misbehaving Sheepadoodle, joining you this evening for a short live. I don't know if you've seen my post. The priority for today, tomorrow and Tuesday is finishing my book. A book that I have been talking about writing and all the things for about a year and a half now. And we're finally just. I finally carved some days out of my calendar. And I'm not taking. I'm taking like one client call. And that's only because I was misbehaving when I scheduled. But we are making this happen. Today was all about writing. Hence why we have Luna in place because little miss was feeling a little neglected. And so we just did a lot of training and this is one of the things that kind of tires her out. So far, writing has been going really well. So has snacking. Snacking has been great. I was sure to stock up on, like, healthy food. Book details. And I don't know. LinkedIn user. Who are you? For some reason, I can't see your name. Book details. So the book is based on my BYOB build your own business program. It's literally. I can't talk. I've had so much caffeine today. It's literally a book that'll train you and show you the simple steps to design your own business. I. I'm not a big person for Ilona. You better stay. Oh, you got your toy. Okay. I'm not a big person for, like, formulas and systems and those things. I'm all for, like, just business basics that you can use to launch your business in your way and. Hi, Steven. Welcome. And so this book is going to be pretty straightforward. It's not going to have any of those, like, business jargony things. No synergy. I'm trying to think of. I'm trying to channel my inner Jack Donaghy, which I'm completely failing at right now. You're gonna hear. You're hearing the beefing in the back. I went live forgetting that I put a lasagna in the oven. Anyway, classically. When I was writing in college, I tended to stay up all night. I'm a night owl. That's when I'm most creative. Trying to be a grown up about this and not do that. But, you know, I'm only. I'm only a small way in. And we only have two days left, so we may have a late night tonight anyway. But it was really important to me to come live really quick because I had made this goal of going live every day in September. I want to stick to that. And so I will be doing more fleshed out lives tomorrow and Tuesday as per usual. But today this is literally just checking the box. And I want to tell you guys, if you're trying to build momentum in something and there has to be days where you just need to check the box, that is okay. You don't have to be perfect every single day. And hi, Jason from Doha Airport. Travel safe. We're just doing a quick live. Anyway, Luna and I are going to keep, keep up the good work and I hope everyone else is having a great Sunday and wish us luck. We have two more days to finish this book. Two more. Well, for me, you're not writing, you're not helping, you're not very helpful. She's, she's in charge of breaks. Breaks and fun. Anyway, LinkedIn user Steven, Jason, thank you, all three of you for joining. If you, why don't you help me, help me like stay inspired and happy as I'm doing this. I love videos of animal friends, like unlikely pairings, you know, like the camel, the camel and the Chihuahua. If you can send me a video of those playing, I'd be so happy. Anyway, I'm going to go get my lasagna and have dinner and continue writing. Thank you for joining. I'm Katie McManus, Business Strategist, Leadership coach. I will be going live again tomorrow and every day for the rest of this month. So I will see you there. All right, bye, everyone.
