A speaker shares how he finished his first book in one month after years of hesitation by shifting from waiting for perfect conditions to simply moving forward. The difference between a beginner and an expert isn't talent or tools, it's momentum from taking the first step.
When I was writing my first book, Conquer Your Procrastination and Get Your Things Done Easily, I was hesitant to begin. I never wrote a book in my life before. I wrote more than 100 articles on my website, but I could not begin to write a book. I shared this problem with my coach and he told me to just keep going ahead. I believed in his idea and managed to write my first book in just 1 month. I've been waiting for 4-5 years to write a book. Just surprisingly, I wrote in just 1 month. I met a writer who writes for local newspaper every single day. For me, he is an expert at writing. I asked him about how he gets the new idea to write every day. He replied, I just keep writing ahead. You see, there is a big difference between a beginner and an expert. The beginner just waits for the right time and tools. He is just afraid to take step forward. Whereas expert keeps moving forward because he knows that if he wants to move forward, he has to take the steps forward. So here's a lesson for you. You need to step forward to move forward. As you take the first step, you will take more steps and action that will create more results.
