Thank you for making writing this book the most
natural thing I could have done with my time. (Finally!)
PREFACE
W hen I first had the idea to write a book, I expected it would be a straightforward process. I planned to write a book about the science of achieving seemingly impossible goals in which I would share little-known techniques for upgrading your business and life.
When I sat down to write that book, however, I had a case of imposter syndrome. Self-doubt washed over me. Who was I to write such a book? I was standing on the shoulders of giants and thought that it was their work people should be reading.
But the more I met and spoke with scientists and discussed their work, the more I saw their delight in my stories about how their fields of knowledge dovetailed with other disciplines and translated into practice. Some of the researchers I spoke with started calling me a science translator, which helped me realize the distinctiveness of my ability to integrate theory into practice.
As the years went by, I continued to read inspiring research papers and books, yet I never read one that entirely taught me how to achieve what I wanted: To create a service-based business with a great quality of life. So I continued to formulate my success system like a mad scientist might, a dash of this and a sprinkle of that, until I crafted a recipe that was just right for me.
After a few more years of trial and error, thinking, and tinkering, it was time to admit to myself, I had something distinctive to throw into the ring. And, something that worked.
But timing is everything. I released the e-book version of Its Go Time on March 12, 2020, the day the record-breaking COVID-19 stock market crash began, now known as Black Thursday. I shook my head at the irony. As we were all being locked down, I released a book titled, Its Go Time .
Ive trained myself to turn bad news into good. I used the year that followed to continue building my business and the businesses of my clients. It ended up being a record year for many of us. I also used the time to return to the book and contextualize it for a post-COVID-19 economy, which is now more predominantly online than ever before.
