Let's answer all the tough questions in advance only leaving one single option - shipping.ĭon't be fooled by the simplistic look of this workbook. Too many projects get derailed along the way. These guides were created to help ensure your art actually gets out the door. When you choose to be a Linchpin, you're choosing to 'ship' your work, your art, and your projects out into the world. Christine Fawley The ShipIt Journal is the workbook to accompany Seth's latest book Linchpin.

You may still get a lot of value out of this workbook if you are a stranger to Seth Godin, but his readers will be reminded of the many poignant threads that have woven his latest books and blog posts - and that background will take you deeper into your own assessment. One caveat - you need to have read Seth's work (at least his blog on a regular basis, preferably his books) to "get" some of the assessment questions.

SHIPIT! -Jule Kucera If you have a project, idea, or new business up your sleeve, give yourself the gift of this workbook. If you are serious about shipping, whatever it is you want to ship, get this workbook. It was at this point that the call leader said, "Jule, what do you think is important for us to cover in our project kick-off meeting next week?" I reached down to my briefcase, pulled out SHIPIT, opened the workbook, and started to talk. The location was great until lunchtime when I was suddenly surrounded by lots of small children, one of whom was SCREAMING. On the way back from Seth's Minneapolis Linchpin session I pulled off the road and into a McDonald's to take a conference call. This recommendation of SHIPIT is not based simply on a look-see through the workbook-I've already used it.
SETH GODIN SHIPIT JOURNAL SOFTWARE
The workbook is a series of questions that are an amalgam from Godin's other books-primarily Linchpin and Tribes, but also one he didn't write (but recommended in Free Prize Inside), the Software Project Survival Guide, by Steve McConnell.

If you pick up a pen (not a pencil) and answer the questions in this workbook-honestly, of course-you will be well on your way to either (A) a successful project, or (B) the realization that the project is doomed and shouldn't be started (which is a very good thing to know in advance). Wish granted: SHIPIT, by Seth Godin, who at 12 books and 3700+ blog posts and, oh yeah, a couple of businesses, knows a thing or two about shipping. Wouldn't it be nice if someone who is really great at project management and shipping (AKA: getting it out the door) would take you by the hand and set you up for success with your new project?
