@realcaseyrollins I agree with you to an extent, but I think there's some strategy that you need to employ.
When I was writing my book The Greysonian Ethic, I didn't really talk much about it because of the things you're talking about. Thing is, I didn't need any help or support to do that since I could do it all myself. Keeping quiet about it meant I could focus on putting my nose to the grindstone and doing the work instead of bragging about the thing I hadn't completed yet. I only started telling people about it when it was already complete and I was about to have it up on Amazon.
By contrast, there's been a lot of strategic decisions at work (completely unrelated to writing a book) that required ongoing support from my bosses, and so learning how to explain your vision, the purpose of your vision, the consequences of following and not following through, and the resources you need is key to getting a long term strategy implemented.
