I've co-authored six books and edited about 20. Writing a book is hard and the goal of writing one probably isn't enough to get you to the finish line. There needs to be a drive/passion/love behind what you're writing and who you're writing for to keep you going. Without that, you probably won't finish the book, and even if you do it probably won't be very good. Focus on the passion and the book will emerge as evidence of that passion. In fact, if the passion is there I don't think you'll be able to stop it!

Knocked it out of the park again Nilofer 👏👏

I am blessed to have worked with and as I am SO much more clearer on my house of belonging and the Onlyness that serves that, I will ensure that I avoid and indeed challenge this still too often sought ‘professionalism’ that is often the antithesis of how I really want to show up.

“In my effort to meet “professional” expectations, I couldn't be my own best expression.“

Thank you for helping me and all of us show up more fully in that spot in the world that only we stand 🙏 👍
