I just downloaded the audiobook! And as an author who can't quite finish her book proposal, but is going ahead with a self published workbook to leverage her own audience, I feel you on this. I want to commend you for making it to Barnes and Noble, a national book tour, CBS Mornings and your old high school. That alone is worthy and a reminder that you did the thing that you're telling us to do. Now, let me listen so I can get to my next benchmark, for me, and no one else ;).

If it’s any consolation, Stop Waiting For Perfect is on MY year’s best book list. 😅 Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing this. We’re supposed to feign humility and “not care” about accolades but they matter, even if our primary goal isn’t to achieve them.
