In this episode, on my investigation into how we can finally do the things we want to do, I reflect on creating The Wisdom of David Gemmell, a website dedicated to the philosophy of my favourite author. You can find it at www.thewisdomofgemmell.com or follow it on Twitter at www.twitter.com/wisdomofgemmell.
The most important part of it reflecting on it was: I *didn't* start it for a long time.
It took the pain of seeing two ideas I had move on to other people (remembering what Liz Gilbert says: if we don't use an idea it will find someone else who will use it). It took navigating all kinds of Resistance, which tied me in knots. It took a call to arms from then-stranger-now-friend Inga Umblija to make me take action because of who it might serve. And then it took breaking it down into small steps.
I hope you take insight from it that helps you get your idea out into the world.

About the 12-Minute Method Podcast: In this podcast, I (leadership coach and author Robbie Swale) investigate why we sometimes don't do the things that deep down we really want to do. In each episode of season 1, I am going to reflect on a time in my life where I have beaten procrastination and finally done something important to me, hoping that by doing this I will learn more about what it really takes to go from wanting to do something (but not doing it) to getting it done.
