It’s Time to Finish Your Book
STOP telling yourself you’re "not ready" to finish your book.
NO ONE feels ready.
One of my clients wasn’t “ready” either. She had a whole list of reasons not to write. Every single one of them could have been valid enough for her to stop writing. Until she decided to do it anyway. And guess what? She finished and published her book.
She wasn’t special—she just stopped waiting for the “perfect moment.” Because let me tell you: The perfect moment is a lie.
We’ve all been there, right? You’ve been sitting on that half-written draft for months (maybe even years), telling yourself you’ll finish when you have more time, more inspiration, or more confidence. That day is NOT coming.
The real question isn’t whether you’re ready. Instead, ask yourself if you're ready to start trusting yourself?
Writing a book is messy, it’s imperfect, and sometimes, it’s even a complete disaster. I’ve seen it time and again in my coaching.
The writers who finish are the ones don’t wait for things to be perfect. They commit. They do the work. They mess up. They feel overwhelmed. And yet—they still finish their book.
Messy progress beats perfect inaction every day of the week.
If you’re still telling yourself you’re “not ready” (for whatever 10 million reasons), it’s time to call yourself out.
You make the moment perfect by pushing through.
It’s time to bet on yourself.
