“What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?”
A few days ago I realised something very cool. I don’t know how it happened, but I got into the mental space where I knew I’d pass my driving test. Not simply believed, but knew. I remember I did this after writing Men, Money & Chocolate. I knew I’d get it published, I had no idea how, but somehow I would. It’s funny because, when you’re in that mindset everything shifts from being possible to becoming practical. You start thinking: “okay, since this is happening, what do I need to do now? What’s the next step that’ll take me to this place I’m going?” Which is why I decided to drive to Oxford, it was the next practical step on the route to passing my test. With MM&C it was self-publishing and touting it around bookshops (with the aid of chocolate flapjacks) until I’d sold enough to submit it to the publisher I knew would publish it. So, instead of just believing you’ll succeed at something, trying knowing it instead. What will you do next?
