Hi ~Contact.FirstName~
How are you?
One of my good friends, Dan Norris, started his entrepreneurial and marketing journey at much the same time as Toby and I started Bluewire. We’ve shared many of the ups and downs that running a business can have. You are probably familiar with Dan — he’s been on our podcast three times, he’s in our book and he’s written for our blog before.
I’ve learnt so much from Dan especially when it comes to creating content and running a business. Anyway, he’s just published his 4th book which I know you’ll love. It’s called Create or Hate: Successful People Make Things and it’s free on Kindle till 8th October.
He acknowledges that the biggest barrier when it comes to creating something is overcoming what he calls ‘Hate’. It prevents so many of us from getting started. Once you start however, you’re off and racing and can work it out as you go. But it’s hard to start because it’s scary. Luckily Dan shares his personal experiences and he reveals the tools and processes he uses to flourish.
Here’s the review I just left on Amazon.
“This is a fantastic book on unleashing our ability to create things.
Dan explains that all successful people ‘create’ things, yet why then do we often flinch when it comes to putting our own ideas and products into the world? The truth is that “Hate” creeps in and cripples our belief that we are ‘good enough’ to create. Whether it’s worrying about the opinions of others, making excuses or negative self-beliefs (the most insidious) we stall and don’t create our best work. This is a problem for which Dan delivers the framework to overcome.This is a short and very inspiring book.
Having known Dan and followed his work for close to a decade, I am always impressed with his thinking and his ability to create — whether it’s businesses, books, speeches or epic blog posts.The lesson from the book: go ahead and create something today!”
