Publisher's Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff, a book for those who want relief from always starting and never being done.
Jon Acuff, sought-after speaker and consultant, is the friend who always gives you great advice. With his self-deprecating humor and charm, he has won over hundreds of thousands of followers who come to him for both encouragement and a kick in the pants. Now, after showing you how to reboot your career in his New York Times best seller Do Over, Acuff shows chronic starters how to actually finish their goals in an age of bottomless distractions and endless opportunities.
Acuff knows the reason why many writers' novels go unfinished - it's the same reason why gyms are filled in the first week of January and empty by the end of the month and why people stop learning a new language once they get past the easy parts. It's not just that people lose momentum or get distracted. People give up on projects when they fail to live up to their own high expectations and decide that if they can't do something perfectly, they won't do it at all. If you're going to finish, you have to kill perfectionism.
Drawing on his popular 30 Days of Hustle course, Acuff teaches listeners to short-circuit perfectionism and make it through to the end of a task. Whether it's by "choosing what to bomb" or "cutting a goal in half", he shows listeners how to move past "the day after perfect", get focused, and - finally - finish.
What the critics say
"When it comes to personal achievement, there’s a fine line between tragedy and comedy. No one beats Jon Acuff at helping me laugh at my foibles while offering me help to overcome them. If you want to master the art of finishing, read this book!” (Michael Hyatt, USA Today best-selling author of Living Forward)
“Are you haunted by the ghosts of unfinished goals? I never met an idea I didn’t like, so I know all about the excitement of starting and the difficulty of finishing. Fortunately, the ever-entertaining Jon Acuff has come to the rescue in this terrific new book. Finish identifies the many ways we sabotage our own progress and gives us powerful tools to ‘get ’er done.’ Read Jon’s book, apply its wisdom, and I guarantee you’ll cross your personal finish line - laughing all the way.” (Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager and One Minute Mentoring
“Jon Acuff is speaking the preferred language of all great leaders-get things done! If you want to stand out today, then it’s imperative for you to be a finisher, and Jon has provided a practical, inspiring, and seamless roadmap for moving things across the finish line. Finish is an instant classic!” (Brad Lomenick, author of H3 Leadership)

Jon Acuff nailing the problem I didn’t even realize
This book through sharing Acuff’s own stories, life experience and his brand sense of humour nails on the head how the root of unfinished goals and projects is due to perfectionism! I didn’t even consider before this book that my perfectionism could be the root of why I struggle to just get things done. Acuff calls out different ways we might be creating obstacles for ourselves and prompts us to look deeper into things like fear or failure or other things that might be blocking us.
As a perfectionist student struggling to finish my post-secondary education this was a helpful read. Definitely recommended if you are also a chronic starter of projects and goals but struggle with the finish.

Great story explaining the perfectionist
Jon is a very animated storyteller. He can give humorous, real-life experiences that expose the perfectionist in all of us. BTW, Canadians are NOT responsible for their geese!

I really enjoyed this!
He was funny to listen too, and he gave valuable advice. He actually gave productive advice, that is usable. He talks a lot about perfectionism and sometimes about shame. I think this book really hits the mark! I will be keeping and reading again when I need a reminder :)

Great Book. Wish I’d Read It Sooner!
Very insightful. Opened up a lot of uneasy feelings that I didn’t want to admit but ultimately could relate to. Not easy to hear but makes you think. Anyone who doesn’t take something away form this book isn’t ready to address their negative traits. Will go back and listen again.

Talking right to me!
As a perfectionist this book was spot on. I felt like Jon Acuff was speaking right to me. His conversational tone while ready was easy to listen to and I had many laugh out loud moments while learning actionable steps to finish!
