Synopsis

This book was written to show dreamers and doers the beautiful magic and creativity that goes into getting shit done. You'll want to read this book if you're either an entrepreneur, creative, innovator or someone who aspires to be one of the above; you're struggling with your to-do-list and things keep getting in your way, stopping you from following through and you’re ready for a change; or, you want to get into a less-dreaming, more-doing state of mind. 

After years of going through the paces of "getting shit done," regardless of whether resources were available to me or not, and of course life obstacles, I decided to share these experiences and misadventures with you on how I was able to activate and use my GSD abilities and how you can too! 

You can use this book as inspiration! You'll learn some hacks and a process to boost your productivity and most importantly you'll learn how to maximize any resource you have. This book will be a crazy, yet beautiful roller coaster. 

Are you ready to Get Sh*t Done?

Outline

Less Dreaming, More Doing 

In this section I discuss who I am and why my story matters. Most importantly, why it took me 3 years to finish this book.

The GSD Manifesto 

The 13 principals and components of getting shit done.

Resourceful AF 

How I was born with the resourcefulness gene and how my upbringing and life allowed it to manifest and grow into my strongest skill that helps me get shit done.

Just Do It 

Our fears often get in the way of our success. But I fought to put my fears aside to get my first job, launch my first business and strike out on my own all while being a teen mom.  

Virtuous Mind  

After a streak of success, I began suffering from depression and anxiety. This almost took over my life until a personal revelation happened that put me back on track. 

Power Of Broke 

How being broke allowed me to excel and be a great entrepreneur in the early days

Doing Sh*t For Free 

The ins and out of social capital that became thousands of dollars worth of real capital down the line

Create Value

How to create long-lasting value so that you are always relevant 

Show up 

How to be present and show up every day and why it matters

Google That Sh!t 

How googling allowed me to get jobs, clients, and land millionaire mentors and other opportunities

Network = Net Worth $$ 

How I networked my ass off and made money through just meeting people (and you can too )

Be Humble  

How being humble and a little naive allowed me to get even further on my entrepreneurial journey 

Level Up 

To wrap up this adventure I share where I am now and how I leveled up from just working hard to now, working hard and smart.

Audience

My target readers are dreamers who aspire to become entrepreneurs but are stuck dreaming with the fear of execution. My niche focus is people who have given up on their dreams thinking they cannot achieve them because of lack of resources, or life circumstances that won't allow them to Get Sh*t Done.

My book is relevant because all the cards were stacked against me and with the art of getting sh*t done, I was able to persevere and overcome. My goal is to share this with others and help them do the same.

Whether they are at a crossroads due to some life-changing experience they have a desire to use those emotions to strike change but not sure how or where to start, this book will help them tremendously.

Promotion

I plan to leverage my email list of 1.5K and my social media platforms.

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org. Alli's "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies is an invaluable resource.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner

Note from the Author.

Hey Reader,

This note is going to be quick and to the point. Here I am at 1:21am on Saturday, July 15th, 2017 FINALLY writing this guide. I started it on November 5th 2016, after I held the very first Get Shit Done summit in NYC. I would write bits in a notebook, other bits in my phone, more bits on post-it notes. Just a shit ton of bits everywhere. No more bits! I have decided it’s time to get in front of the computer and Get This Shit Done!

First, who the heck am I? My name is Georgie-Ann Getton-Mckoy yes, it’s a mouthful, so most people call me Georgie and I’m totally fine with that. I am currently 22 years old, Baruch College graduate with a B.S in Graphic Communications as of June 2017, mother to Cameron and Bryanna and wife to Bryan, Founder of Illicit Mind Inc, Entrepreneur, Diversity in Tech Enthusiast, speaker and last but not least the Queen of Getting shit done.

 Second, why should you read this book? If you want to develop a doer mindset this is the book you read. I’ve had to step out of my comfort zone, push my limits, become super resourceful, and literally reprogram my entire mindset to get where I am today. I want to share that information with you so that you can too. You should read this book if you want to stop wasting time and start Getting Shit Done.

Third, what should you expect? Expect the unexpected! That’s what you should expect. Expect a bunch of grammatical errors, whatever Grammarly free version doesn’t pick up will stay. Expect a bunch of shits, fucks, damns and more, I mean you decided to read a book called The Art of Getting Shit Done so I assume “sentence enhancers” won’t offend you. Expect me to be raw and real, I will NOT be sugar coating anything. If you don’t like the truth, well, wrong book sis.

Fourth, we’ve already wasted enough time. Let’s get this shit done already!
