022: Your First Book: The Goal Isn’t ‘New York Times Bestseller’ (Here’s Why)

We often put impossible pressure on a first book - and then wonder why it never gets finished. In this episode, we talk about why your first book doesn’t need to be big, definitive, or impressive to matter.

We explore how releasing outcome pressure actually creates momentum and why small, clear, finishable books often do the most good. We’re all about choosing progress over performance and letting your first book be what it needs to be.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why first books get stuck under unrealistic expectations
• The difference between “important” and “finishable”
• How starting small creates confidence, clarity, and momentum
• Why we believe the job of a first book is simply to be finished
