No more procrastinating: I Want to Start a Business but I Never Actually Start.

So your question is not whether you want it enough. That one's been answered, and it was answered by the sheer number of months you have spent wanting it without the wanting ever running out. Your question is what else has to be true.

From chapter 1: The gap between wanting and doing

What it didn't produce was the launch it was bought for. That product never went out at all. Chapter 3 already told you what those months actually contained, and you can go back and check me on it: a different and much smaller thing, built privately for three more months, and then a link posted from a party in February. There was nothing in that curriculum about the party, and nothing in the party about the curriculum.

From chapter 6: The course that never ends

That is how the book looks at “no more procrastinating”: one idea at a time, with a step you can take right away. Of course, this is only one idea from the book. So, if this passage speaks to you, the full chapter goes further, and it ends with an exercise you can do the same evening.

In short, the book has 11 chapters, and each one ends with a practical exercise. Therefore, you can read it in order, or you can go straight to the part about “no more procrastinating”.

1. The gap between wanting and doing
2. The three-month window
3. What counts as started
4. The number that keeps moving
5. Preparation and its stop condition
6. The course that never ends
7. The licence you do not need
8. Why later always wins
9. Nobody chooses the day they start
10. The unfinished task
11. Fourteen days
