If you’ve had “write a book” on your to-do list forever and keep telling yourself you just don’t have time, this episode is for you.

• The myth of not having enough time: I talk about why “not having time” is usually code for not making your book a priority, and how you can bust through that excuse once and for all.

• My personal writing process: I share exactly how I’ve managed to write 45+ books since 2014, many of them in four weeks or less – most of which were written well before the age of AI. Curious about how that’s possible? I walk you through the nitty-gritty, including my schedule, writing habits, and how I keep myself on track.

• Making your book THE priority: I explain how making book writing my #1 task every day helped me consistently hit my goals (without needing eight-hour writing marathons).

• Practical hacks: Get my tips for measuring your words-per-minute so you know exactly how long your sessions should be, and how to fit writing into your calendar in a way that actually gets it done. I also talk about options if you prefer speaking over typing—think voice-to-text tools like Otter, Krisp, or even just the Voice Notes app on your phone.

• Reframing what it takes: Your first draft doesn’t need to take years. In fact, it shouldn’t—for most people, six weeks or less is totally doable if you commit to a daily focus.

• Tap into content you already have: I reveal a tool (bookfinder.hustlegrowth.com) that will show you how your next book may already be hiding in your existing content—you might have half your first draft done already!
