If you can't beat the fear, just do it scared.

So for me, I'm just consistently doing a lot scared.

I just signed myself up for stuff that I can't do.

And I just like,

Just go for it.

And if it flops, it flops.

But I just kind of have that model of just like, hey, let's just see what happens.

And you won't know unless you decide to put yourself out there and try some stuff that you've never tried before.

Oh my gosh.

So in Chasing Failure, I tell a story about the first version of Chasing Failure.

The Chasing Failure that's out with Thomas Nelson now, nicely buttoned up and whatnot, is the fifth version of Chasing Failure.

So the first version, I self-published it.

It was like 60 pages.

It was essentially the same story.

Somebody watched the documentary.

It was like, hey, I don't really like documentaries.

Can you write it in a book?

And I was like, oh, sure.

So I self-published it, hit print on like a thousand and just like handed it out to my friends and people at my church.

And somebody walks up to me, they go, hey, I hate to break it to you, but there's three typos in it.
