Jason Womack Interview
Some notes from our interview

Jason and Jodi Womack run the Get Momentum online coaching program.
Jason travels a lot. He's in a hotel 200-220 nights per year. To keep track, you can always visit Where Is Womack.
Jodi Womack co-founded the Womack Company and will co-author their upcoming book Get Momentum: How to Start when You're Stuck.
I like how Jason defines "productivity", and that he takes the effort to define it, in his book Your Best Just Got Better?: Productivity: “Doing what I said I would do, within the time that I promised”.
Jason outlines the Get Momentum book in the works. They designed a "circle" of methods to get unstuck.

Mention: someone has to mention the fact that things could be different.
Model: find a model to emulate.
Measure what you're currently doing to determine how to alter is.
Monitor your activity over time.
Modify: make small changes you can track over time.
Magnify those small modifications

Want to publish a book (without self-publishing it)? The best thing you can do is build an audience beforehand. Jason taught me a bit about book publishing in the episode. One thing he's learned is publishers are interested in your audience first, then your idea, then the actual book material.
Jason recommends Michael Hyatt's method of building an audience by creating "platforms"- places (mostly online) people can come see you deliver something to them.
One of the things you should take from this interview is how great a salesman Jason is, and how you need to be a great salesman whether you want to or not. It’s a lesson I’m getting more comfortable with, because it isn’t natural to me at all. But I’m willing to develop that skill as a means to achieve our goal of financial freedom- as an entrepreneur, you need that skill. He has it, and you can learn a lot from him.
Another huge thing I took away is how ready and willing Jason is to DO THE WORK it takes. He’s committed to taking action. He offers all these tools you can use to improve yourself, things like tracking something over a period of 5 days. People are willing to acknowledge something like that is a good idea. But most people aren’t willing to do it. He is willing to do it. Are you?

Tip of the show
Stay on the "focus line" for an extra "session".
Jason conceives of the focus line as that place you're in when deep in thought, working on something important. Jason challenges you to double the time you spend next time your on the focus line. Push it twice as long.
