I finally wrote my first book

I tried several times to publish a book. Just as a milestone for my "life bucket list", and because —as a React Native coach— I repeat myself a lot during workshops.

I failed all the time.

So I subscribed to Ulysses app and eventually wrote a 5 days newsletter about how to automate your job hunt.

It was 3 years ago.
I have 1000+ emails on MailChimp that I don't know what to do because who would pay for growth hacking techniques?

"It because I need a better tool, more content, with videos and plenty of useless stuff."

The thing is: I was just afraid to ship.
I was spending all my energy on the content. When it was time to launch, I was exhausted.

And then I had a discussion with @xavier

When you ship a product, you need to spend half of your time on distribution.

It ticked in my head.

During the vacations, I sat down a week, wrote the MVP on a single file, created the cover in 35 minutes with Figma, created a product on Gumroad, and shipped the landing page.

It's not perfect, I copy/pasted the pricing from a random ebook product, and the content could be better.

But guess what?

2020 objectives:
✅ write a book

I have a cool landing page, 1 Gold Tiers sold (not my mother but just someone I know), and a couple of community edition from friends on Slack.

Now I have the momentum to iterate on the product and make it better before my next step: a public launch.

—Don't forget to ship today, tomorrow will be too late.
