Finished Things: Chasing the Other Side of Done

If you start more than you finish... this one’s for you.

FINISHED THINGS is a fast, no-fluff guide for anyone stuck in the gap between ＂great idea＂ and ＂actually done.＂ Built for creatives, founders, and professionals juggling real life, this book shows you how to build momentum, stay focused, and ship your work-even when motivation fades.

In this brisk read, human performance expert Ed Beale and veteran sales-enablement leader Bill Parry tackle the universal struggle between ＂start＂ and ＂finish.＂ Drawing on decades of real-world projects, they dismantle core obstacles (fear of the unknown, perfectionism, clutter, shame, resource constraints and more) and furnish a concise toolkit of rituals, checklists, and mindset shifts to help propel your creative project across the finish line. Each chapter is a pep talk with vivid anecdotes about famous creators who shipped finished things.
You get refreshingly direct advice about hard-earned truths: clarity follows motion, done is better than perfect, and momentum grows on the back of small daily wins. ＂Shipping ugly prototypes＂ and ＂forgiving shame＂ will resonate with creatives and corporate climbers alike, and the concise structure makes it easy to reference on the fly.
Sharply practical for anyone stalled in the fog of ＂almost there,＂ Finished Things is a steady hand and a call to action: get scrappy, keep moving, and claim the confidence that getting to ＂the other side of done＂ can bring.
