Excellent Book !!! Highly Recommend It
Peter Hollins has done an amazing job of getting to the core of the issues I have with starting and never finishing any of my projects. While listening to the audio, I took copious notes and felt each point was spot on. I have a multitude of projects, some of them over 20 years old, that haven’t seen the light of day and have paid for multiple expensive programs from high level business coaches meant to get me into the state of momentum and completion. I haven’t followed through on any of those course teachings. Having the clarity and understanding on what I create to stay in inertia has been a great gift from this book and I can see how using the tools Peter has laid out could work for someone like me. I’m excited to put the tools into practice.

This is one of the motivational book you should listen in our daily lives. Nice explanation of some methods in a way that compels us to believe that afterall common sense is not common in humans and we forget simple rules and following systematic measures that we help us finish what we start.
