One of my buddies,
a brilliant writer,
has three stories on the go.
None of these stories
are close to completion.
Yesterday,
she found what we call
in writing circles
a new shiny,
a call for submission
from yet another publisher.
A bunch of us
did an intervention.
We told her
“no more new projects
until you finish the projects you have.”
She didn’t like it
but she didn’t argue.
She knew we were right.
Robin Sharma has a wonderful list
of 44 master moves
of remarkable entrepreneurs.
#41 is
“They are good at starting things.
And even better at finishing them.”
Finish your damn projects.
