b'In This Episode:\\n\\n\\n\\n* What Sell From Love author Finka Jerkovic learned from the process of writing her book\\u2019s first draft* How she determined what problem the book was solving* Why her writing process changed between her first draft and her second draft* Why writing the book was a \\u201ctop secret\\u201d project\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPlanning is a learning process.\\n\\n\\n\\nWhen we set out an objective, make a plan to achieve it, and then implement that plan, we inevitably learn key things.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe might learn that we don\\u2019t want to achieve the objective after all. We might learn that the path to achieve it isn\\u2019t what we thought it was going to be. We might learn that we need more help or different help, that we need to acquire a new skill, or that we need to adjust our implementation.\\n\\n\\n\\nMaking changes\\u2014even big ones\\u2014to our plan doesn\\u2019t mean we\\u2019ve abandoned it.\\n\\n\\n\\nIt means we\\u2019re learning.\\n\\n\\n\\nAll this month, we\\u2019ve been talking about working the plan. It\\u2019s January, after all, and I\\u2019m sure you\\u2019ve made some plans for this year!\\n\\n\\n\\nI kicked things off by sharing a bit about my personal planning process and how I\\u2019m planning for both of my companies in 2021.\\n\\n\\n\\nThen, I talked with Gillian Perkins about how she planned for the parental leave she took last year and what she learned about how she works in the course of implementing that plan.\\n\\n\\n\\nLast week, I talked with Emily Crookston about how she\\u2019s learned to leveraged LinkedIn and discovered the way she wants to show up online.\\n\\n\\n\\nThis week, I\\u2019m closing out the series by talking about 2nd drafts\\u2014both literal and metaphorical\\u2014with the author of Sell From Love, Finka Jerkovic.\\n\\n\\n\\nYou\\u2019ll hear how it took writing a first, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink draft in order for Finka to learn what her book was really about and how it was going to serve her readers. You\\u2019ll also hear how she\\u2019s needed to find a second draft of what makes her feel satisfied and worthy based on her own values instead of the performance-oriented culture she was raised in.\\n\\n\\n\\nAnd, of course, you\\u2019ll hear how Finka planned for writing her book and discovered her writing practice along the way.\\n\\n\\n\\nNow, let\\u2019s find out what works for Finka Jerkovic!'
