Five days
Eight weeks (to write the book)
42 people
Exactly eight weeks
The idea came to me to invite you onto the show. We don't usually just invite anybody on the show. We did the Instagram Live and a book came through. Taking on a book is another one of those things where it's. It feels like some giant project, especially my first one, took me a year to write. Feels like a giant project that you have to have all structured and organized. And what am I going to write on each page and work my way through the process? Like, oh, my gosh, I do not want to write another book. I've invested in a bunch of companies. I'm growing my YouTube channel. I got 42 people on my team. Like, I'm launching all this other stuff right now. Not a priority. He challenged me to write it in eight weeks, and I ended up writing it in five days. Didn't have any time officially booked. I still ran all my meetings and everything else that I was normally doing. It's not like I just took five days off and went to a cabin and just started writing. Had some health scares in the middle of it, but I got it done, you know, and it just flowed through me. And then the goal became to publish it in eight weeks instead of just have it finished in eight weeks. The manuscript, actually have it published. We released this exactly eight weeks after we had our Instagram Live. So it's possible.
