Make things and you'll be better at making things. No secret there - learn how to make things that matter consistently by making things that don't...daily.

1. Create
Everyday
Unlock your leadership
creativity through
consistency

2. You are scared
Creating something requires a leap of faith.
You have ideas.
You have to break through - your ideas
require you to take a leap.

3. Fear Creates Excuses
We can think of a million reasons why we can run away.
However, when we look at the future - we won’t remember
the excuses, just what could have been.

4. Exercise
Write down your top three fears that stop
you from creating.
You have 2 minutes.
• I know that you might sit on the edge of
your seat for 1:50 seconds, but it is critical
for you to engage and sit with this for now.

5. DON’T CHEAT
HERE!!!!!!

6. CommonFears
• Time
• Fear of Failure/Success
• Impostor Syndrome
• Ideas!

7. Creating creates clarity!
The beautiful thing about writing is both
understanding yourself and your priorities.
Even in that short exercise - you see what you’ve
clarified the fears you have. It’s out in the open.

8. Exercise
Exercise: Write down 3 of your priorities here
for the next 40 seconds
What are you looking for?

9. Don’t treat your knowledge
as a commodity
We know more than we think we do
With those priorities - you know more than I do.

10. We apprehend the
universe
non-simultaneously

11. Content is a gift
One of the greatest gifts of creating is having the ability to give that gift to
someone else.

12. If I give you some
time to think about
it, I bet you could
think of ten things
that would help
either
• a) someone that is in that priority list.
• b) facilitate that priority more effectively.
• c) educate someone about that priority so they
can understand.

13. Exercise: Write ten ideas
• Time – 1 Minute ☺

14. The Result!
•Just right there, you’ve created 10 blog posts. It’s amazing how
quickly we can come up with ideas when we are primed.

15. YOU DON’T NEED A
COMPUTER FOR THIS
• Your phone will work!

16. We are going to
make a blog – right
now!
• Go to wordpress.com
• Select create a blog today
• Pick the writing category
• Select non-fiction & memoir
• List of my latest posts
• Click Libretto

17. Finishing the job • Your domain name can be one of the following
• Your name or initials
• A random color + something that’s
interesting [ EX Orange Rollerblades]
• A verb and your favorite animal [ ActionCat!]
• Select the Free option (if your domain is taken
WordPress will generate one for you)
• Free plan
• Create Your account
• CONGRATS YOU OWN A BLOG – Done

18. Why WordPress?
• WordPress gives you the option to make whatever you want. If you want to
write, post a picture, do video – the tools to everything are there. If you want to
be anonymous, then WordPress doesn’t ask for too much other than an e-mail,
so there is very low risk to get started.

19. So, now that we
have a blog, what’s
next?
• All I want you to do is write three
sentences. That’s it.
• If you want to write more, that’s great, but
stop at exactly three sentences.

20. We want to build the habit!
•On the 30th
day, I want you to write about one of
the topics you wrote down before.

21. Congrats, and
welcome on this
journey of
self-discovery.
Remember, all I ask is that you put down
three sentences over two minutes!
Trust the process on this one, every few
days you will be amazed at what happens
when you push through.
