How to Get ‘Ish Done (Even When You Miss the Deadline)

What’s up, y’all. I’ve got some BIG news and a lesson baked into it for you today.

The big news?
👉 I wrote a freaking book.
👉 And I did it in 30 days.
👉 For under $500.

The book is called The Clinician’s Guide to Multiple Income Streams, and it’s live on Amazon right now. Paperback, Kindle, full sales page, resources—done, dusted, delivered.

But here’s the kicker…

I actually “failed.”

I set out to have the book finished by my birthday (September 20th). Instead, it dropped October 1st. Ten days late.

And you know what? I’ll take that “failure” all day.

Because here’s the truth nobody tells you:

👉 Missing a deadline is still better than never setting one.
👉 Being “late” on your goal is still better than never starting.
👉 Falling short is still progress if you put yourself on the hook.

Why this matters to YOU

Most of you reading this are clinicians stuck in the grind. You’ve got debt, packed schedules, no time, and a dream for something bigger.

But you keep waiting.
Waiting for more time.
Waiting for more money.
Waiting for the “perfect” conditions.

Let me keep it real: perfect never shows up.

What does show up is accountability. That’s the secret.

When I said out loud “I’m gonna do this by my birthday,” I forced myself into action. I told my team. I told social media. I couldn’t hide.

Even when I missed the mark, I still beat 41 of my clients who were also writing books this summer. Not because I’m smarter. Not because I had more time. Simply because I gave myself a deadline and made it public.

How YOU get your ‘ish done

Set the intention. Decide what you’re going to do and by when. Put a date on it.

1. Open your big mouth. Tell your team, your peers, your audience. Accountability > motivation.

2. Work like crazy. Don’t wait for inspiration. Get in the chair, do the work, and honor the deadline—even if you miss it.

That’s how you move forward in business, in healthcare, in life.

Final thought

Stop being afraid of failing.
I “failed” by being 10 days late, but now I’ve got a published book, a new income stream, and a resource that will help thousands of clinicians create financial freedom.

Failure is just progress with a different due date.

Now go set your deadline.

And if you’re ready to see how multiple income streams can work for you, you can grab the book here: CliniciansGuideToIncomeStreams.com .
