🚀 The book in three sentences
You should never worry about if you complete something you start—how do you know if it is worth completing until you get going?
You might not need to start things, and that is also okay.
Open your mind; there is so much you can do.
🎨 Impressions
This book was written by a business/creative coach, not an author. Its style is rough. The book has no real wisdom, but it has excellent sections about how to get started with your ideas, which makes it all right.
