Taylor mentions that he has authored five books on his own and co-written three more, one of which was with a well-known motivational speaker. When discussing writer's block, he emphasizes that it often arises from overthinking and undervaluing one's knowledge and experiences, and he offers a simple yet powerful perspective on writing as a means of sharing personal experiences. Taylor believes that the 30s are a significant phase when people feel societal pressure to meet certain life milestones, but he encourages individuals to focus on their unique journeys instead of comparing themselves to others. He identifies three main "success killers": overthinking, trying to please everyone, and fear, particularly the fear of success. He underscores the importance of prioritizing the mission and message over personal concerns. The conversation also touches on Taylor's "Yes Is Back" movement, which encourages people to prioritize saying "yes" to themselves and their own desires. Taylor is passionate about work-life alignment and promoting harmony over the idea of work-life balance. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Additional Resources Website - www.blackheartedstudios.com  Patreon Link - https://bit.ly/h2bpatreon Freebie link - https://bit.ly/h2bebook Massiel's Coach.Me site - https://www.coach.me/massielwrites Instagram - www.instagram.com/massielwrites LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/massiel-valenzuela-castaneda/ Facebook  - www.facebook.com/howtowriteabookpodcast ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Are you feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list?
