Writing your ebook can be an exercise in persevereance. A good analogy is the story of the tortoise and the hare. Many people race through the process, only to lose steam and give up before they reach the finish line. Others work steadily, day after day, and are rewarded with a completed book in a few weeks or less. Which will you be – the tortoise, making your way towards your goal, or the hare, speedily working but stopping to rest under the shade of a tree?
This all comes down to two things – persistence and procrastination. Anything worth having in life will take some hard work and long hours somewhere along the way. If you find yourself procrastinating, know that it is your mind telling you that you do have the possibility of achieving your goals and allowing some fear to come up. This fear is your mind knowing that what you are doing is possible and trying to hold you back. Push through that fear and get to work right away. Be persistent and keep at it until you have pushed through the finish line!
