About this listen

Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go.

How do successful people stay focused and achieve results? This lively and insightful guide presents a simple program for taking the stairs - that is, for overcoming the temptations of quick fixes and procrastination, conquering creative avoidance, and transcending personal setbacks in order to tackle the work that leads to real success. Whatever your goals are, Rory Vaden's proven approach will get you there - one stair at a time.

Life changing habits

I heard Rory on the School of Greatness podcast and purchased his audible book. It is a great resource for anyone looking to up level their habits and make long lasting changes. I just ordered his other book as I’m really impressed with his content.

This book sucks

Rory can take the stairs, I'll take the emergency exit. It's unoriginal and his narration is obnoxious.
