ANSWERS REMINDER #6: ACT LIKE YOU'RE GETTING PAID FOR IT

You've put off editing that first novel for weeks. You think it has potential, but the work you put into it takes away from the work that is paying the bills right now. There is a big account at the office you've been working on, which could mean a raise and a possible promotion. So you've been putting off some needed editing to your first novel because of the possibility of monetary freedom that will finally give you the time to edit that first novel, right?

THIS WEEK'S TIP: Waiting on the right amount of freedom to pursue your dreams will leave you waiting for a long, long time. So treat your personal project as a paid project, and prioritize the time to work on it. Treat your project as a contracted deliverable, and put yourself on a deadline. The sooner you get it done, the sooner you’ll get a chance to actually sell it for real.
