I thought I’d follow up last week’s post “How to Finish What You’ve Started: 7 ‘In-Your-Face’ Tips” with actual examples of creative people that have actually FINISHED cool creative projects they’ve started.
What did she launch: Her first blog.
How did she finally do it?
“I started thinking about launching a blog a couple of years ago. I bought several books including Blogging for Dummies. I read the books, but I still failed to take any action. I was spurred into taking action by listening to Tony Snipes. Tony got me to see that I didn’t have to have everything figured out. All I had to do was to sit down and to write. I actually started writing articles for my blog before I thought of a name for it. I also decided in advance to go with a Word Press template.”
Jack Surrett:
What did he launch: Blog and Facebook page
How did he finally do it?
“The coaching we received from Tony was extremely helpful in three ways. First, he
encouraged us to let our passion take us where we want to go. Then he gave us detailed instructions on every step it took to get our blog up and running. And he kept us accountable with homework and deadlines.”
What did he launch: First, his blog, then his self -published book.
How did he finally do it?
“Something that helped me was making sure that my goal/idea was defined to the point that it was believable–especially to ME. As long as my idea was broad it was “too big” for me to do and I sat on the side of the road waiting for my dream to come true through someone else. But when Tony helped me to realize that there was no longer a need to (further) simplify–that I had completed that task–then my determination became unstoppable. Now I am working on my second and third project.”

Amen, to the message you help people get – you don’t have to figure every last detail out. Part of being on the front end of your own growth curve is to MOVE. It’s amazing how often PEOPLE can get this, when coached properly, but how often INSTITUTIONS cannot. If you are going to lead – in your own profession, or as a company in an industry – you can’t have it all mapped out. By the time you do that – you’re about a year or two too late to market and eating someone else’s dust!
Thanks, Amy! And these 3 folks have proven to be the trendsetters you speak of here!
