One of the biggest dreams in my life has been to become a published author. That dream came true last week. I launched my first book - Defy Gravity.

And I was so stuck in my own Gravity, I missed the joy.

You see, I'm a Launch Queen. I've launched over 100 products and companies in my consulting career. I love market launches - and clients tell me I'm good at them.

So there I was, launching my book, being my Launch Queen self. I'm managing the launch, with the help of my masterful Flock-Builder Tom Scott. I'm checking the numbers, I'm double checking systems, I'm out on social media, I'm writing materials, sending emails, on the phone. Busy, on top of it, reveling in the busyness.

I was so stuck in the Gravity of being a Launch Queen. I'm doing it exactly The Way I've Always Done It. Totally focused on monitoring the launch. So focused on being the Launch Queen that I missed the Big Moment.

I didn't celebrate my life long dream come true - the moment I became a published available-for-sale business author. Wow. I missed the whole thing...buried beneath the list of To Do's and followups and the piles on my desk.

And that, my friends, is how sneaky Gravity can be.

So take my lesson and apply it to your lives - and don't get so stuck in the status quo of doing that you miss the fun of the journey!

The good news is - I ditched my Gravity this weekend. I'm a published author. Tee hee....
