Making sure your activities propel you toward success [The Writer’ s Life](
January 1, 2024 "Nothing happens until something moves."
– Albert Einstein Happy New Year, {NAME}! I hope you're ready to hit the ground running … As companies fire back up tomorrow with goals front of mind, they'll be looking for writers to help them move forward. So, let's get moving, shall we? I want to start out 2024 with something I believe is a game changer for moving forward … Being mindful of how you spend your time. I used to be a long-hours type of worker … Being busy and "working hard" was part of who I was. But as I learned later in my career (thankfully!), busy does not equal success. It's definitely not just about the hours you put in … There are other factors which make a difference in your outcomes. And when you know what those are, and how to evaluate the actions you're taking, you can achieve success easier. In this Monday Morning Jumpstart, Ted and Jade dig into being "busy," the myth of putting in long hours, and what activities will help you move forward. [AWAI Monday Morning Jumpstart Law of Inertia]( They also talk about the Law of Inertia … the concept that a body in motion stays in motion and a body at rest stays at rest. That principle is why getting started with any project is the most difficult part — you're trying to propel a "body at rest" and transform it into a "body in motion." It's not easy! It's like starting a stalled train — railroad cars do not begin moving quickly from a stopped position. And for aspiring writers, it's no different. In fact, we've seen it time and again over our 27 years of training writers. Getting started from a standstill is a big challenge. That's why we created [Launch Your Writer's Life in a Day]( … so we could be with you for the hardest part … Not only will we ensure you're up and running, but we'll also give you a plan to follow for the next 90 days AND be with you every step of the way to ensure you don't get stuck. I can't think of a better way to start 2024! Sometimes just having a roadmap and support is all it takes to start gaining traction. And even if you have a writing business up and going, our team of experts will reignite the fire, and ensure you've got focus and speed on your side this year. [>> Go here now for all the details!]( Then be sure to check out today's [Monday Morning Jumpstart here](, and see what Ted and Jade have to say about getting in motion with efficiency and intention. Here's to a winning week — and year! Rebecca Matter
