I get deflated and discouraged….

Hello again, Sam, Well, I got the Kindle version of your Start Where You Are book and started reading it last night. Thank you for writing the book!!! Up to now I've been one of the 80% who gets excited by every new, shiny self-help program for artists-procrastinators, get really into it and then poof! I get deflated and discouraged. I like the introduction to your book where you reply to the person who writes that he feeds off your webinar and other wonderful offerings but seems to be stuck forever at square one. I loved your book about the 15-minute a day process and enjoyed going through all the exercises. It helped me clean the clutter in my studio and get organized (and my studio remained organized), it helped me create and deliver faster some of the creative projects I was working on and I LOVE receiving every day your 365 reasons for writing. I read them and they always have something for me to think about. I haven't been able to get the 15-minutes a day thing going on my major projects. I still have the mindset of: "if I don't have the whole day, whole week or whole month to work on a major project, I can't get started. I'm hoping that I'll shift enough my attitude in that department that it will become easier for me to work first in MY OWN projects for 15 minutes before anything else. I like the idea that tiny shifts causing a big difference. I just did the first Little change action step: pick a word that you would like to be able to say describes you, and the first word that popped into my head was BOLD. So part of my 1% boldness is to write to you! Thank you!
