You can’t make this stuff up.  Every time you finally sit down to tackle the project you know needs to get done, something gets in the way. You get sick. A family member needs help. You lose your job or suffer a major professional setback. And let’s be honest, sometimes the biggest obstacle…is you. The crazier or more unpredictable the distraction, the more likely it seems to happen. So how do we stop getting knocked off course? How do we sidestep the constant barrage of setbacks, gather ourselves, and take that crucial first step forward? How do we keep chipping away at what we know we need to do—despite the world, other people, and the version of ourselves that would rather avoid the struggle? In today’s episode, Brett shares his journey and the lessons we can all take from it. Whether you're writing a book, tackling a big professional project, or mending a broken relationship, there’s something here for everyone.
