Publisher's summary

Get out of your own way, and bring your ideas to life!

Exactly Where to Start is a playbook for everyone with a great idea, everyone with a goal in mind, and everyone with a specific destination but no journey. We’ve been told all our lives that “good things come to those who wait” - but that’s a myth. Good things come to those who do. Too often, we get stuck in the “getting ready” stage: research, analysis, brainstorming, and more research; we feel like we need to know everything there is to know about what we want to do before we ever take the first steps. Meanwhile, the people who actually go out and do the thing are taking risks, learning lessons, and making strides toward their goals every single day. Isn’t it time you joined them?

This book coaches you through the journey with precise, actionable steps that help you take that all-important first leap and keep the momentum going. Discard the distractions, break through the overwhelm, and get going for real with this real-world blueprint for turning your vision into reality. Snap yourself out of “analysis paralysis”. Stop thinking you need to know everything before you even begin. Make those big decisions and focus in on your goals. Chart your journey’s path, and get up and get started today.

Many of us have fallen into a trap: We no longer believe that “anything is possible”, yet we are surrounded by proof that everything is possible! But we are distracted, harried, overwhelmed, and maybe a little intimidated. Our dreams remain forever in limbo, and we may go to our graves before we venture beyond the “planning stage”. Don’t let that happen - don’t you deserve to realize your goals? Exactly Where to Start gives you the kick in the pants and the practical plan you need to stand up, step up, and make it happen.

This is a very practical guideline with just the right materials for personal / business development broken down for easy implementation of your journey.

Helpful, concise and informative

Very useful

Love the book. I understand that you want to keep the book action oriented. However I would love to see more examples. Examples helps us visualize how to put your advice into action for ourselves. It’s a great companion to your first book, exactly what to say. Thx.

Masterpiece

First I'd like to thank the author for everything. That book is another masterpiece of Phil M Jones who became my model. The moment I listened to him ones I then went to his website and didn't stop reading, listening and watching for hours. And now I am reading his guide books. Even if you already started on action, Phil M Jones with his honest way renders and vanishes your vision.

Starting something? Read this.

Starting something? Read this. It will take you all of an hour or two. Then go back and read it again and do the exercises he suggests. This book is @philmjonesuk follow up to his excellent book Exactly What to Say, which I read four times in 2 days because it was that good (and also that short). This book is especially applicable to entrepreneurs but also works for anyone who is starting anything, whether it's a book, career, family, college, or anything else. #exactlywheretostart

SPECTACULARLY, SIMPLISTICALLY, PROFOUND!!

A Field Manual for Taking ACTION on “Your” big idea! If you’ve been looking for a guide on what to DO, so you can get started, THIS Audio Book is that guide!!! If I could give 10 Stars, I would!!!

Getting to your results quicker

This book is the most deatailed nudge to get anyone started on their journey for success and fulfillment. A simple tool to create a personalized blueprint.

This could also be titled "Exactly What You Need"

Every student in high school or college who takes an Entrepreneurship course should just be given this book and told to come back with their MVP if they want to pass the subject! I mentor startups that I invest in and 90% of them could have gotten further faster with less wasted capital if they had read this first. I've read all of Phil Jones's books but this one ranks as one of the most enjoyable and satisfying ones. There is not one wasted word.

Exactly what to read!

I did not dislike anything about this book. My first Audible and it only motivated me to listen to more and learn more. My favorite part is that the autor really understood that when there is little direction or motivation to get started, with so many options out there filled with endless advise and knowledge, one gets lost in it all. This book simply guides you through all the steps to get you out of that mindset. Loved it.
