13208: Your Personal Order Of Execution

Raw transcript:

so I want to talk to you about your
window your window of opportunity your
window of availability is your window
open is your window closed I could go on
and on but let’s talk about
misjudging when having your window open
is
appropriate talk about that in this
episode of the vo Heroes
podcast so sometimes we need to do
things during a particular particular
period of time when they’re most
effective when we have the ability to do
so and we have to make decisions about
that you know uh I recently uh started a
new package called narrate your own book
and I got feedback from one of the
authors who was considering joining it
saying yeah you know I don’t need this
right now because I haven’t even
finished my book
yet and what that told me was that
they had an idea in their
head and there was no nuding it as to
when it was going to be appropriate for
them to learn how to narrate their own
book and it wasn’t going to be until
they were done with the writing of their
book so that’s an assumption that you
make that may or may not be appropriate
may or may not be effective for you
there are all kinds of advantages to
getting that training before you’re done
with your book so that you could for
example simultaneously release leas the
print version the ebook version and the
audio version um but some people are
linear in their thinking and they go I
want to do this then I want to do this
and then when I’m done with that I’m
going to do this you know as opposed to
I’ll prepare for this in in this way so
the window being open the opportunity
being open varies among people and it’s
interesting to see what kind of
assumptions we make about these things
we make about how we plan for the future
and how we take things in order uh
either in parallel or uh sequentially
all kinds of things to think about but I
would always uh advise
you to consider the options and and
check your assumptions at the door uh it
ended up where this author she joined
narrate your own book and she’s written
me recently and said I’m really glad you
gave me that answer about maybe
reconsidering whether my window is open
or closed and
uh and she’s having a ball it’s great
and I’m having a ball uh teaching her so
it’s fun this notion of having things
planned and having them in a particular
order and in a particular
sequence and having Dependable
dependabilities you know it depends that
I do this it depends if I finish that um
there are options and you should
consider those things tell me what you
think about this tell me if this is
something that makes sense to to you if
it’s something that maybe will help you
be a little bit more efficient a little
bit more prepared I don’t know I just
bring it up because it’s helped at least
one of my students and I hope it helps
