Seven Rules of Project Passion

Geoff McDonald and the Ideas Architect PodcastProject Passion – The Seven Rules

Project Passion is all about the big ideas we have every now and then. But, most of them are wasted because we do nothing about them or we fail to finish building them.

This can cost us time, money, effort, reputation and the difference we could be making. Plus, there is an emotional cost. In the short term, this can dampen our enthusiasm and confidence. And, in the longer term, we can rue our missed opportunities.

I know this feeling well because over the years I’ve failed badly in finishing my projects. Whilst I’ve written and published six books – which is pretty spectacular – I’ve also failed to finish more than 25 other books that I’ve started.

In this episode of the Ideas Architect Podcast (#89), Geoff McDonald will be sharing his Seven Rules to Bring Your Ideas to Life. These are the rules that underpin the coaching program Project Passion and the soon to be released book of the same name.
