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.

book works great

is this a ridiculous idea to access 131% of brain capacity by controlling your physiology?

Here right here is where you start

I appreciate the author for writing this book. I wish I read it decades ago as it would have helped me start earlier.

The better time to start is right now whilst reading the book. Do the exercises as you are prompted to and you would have already started.

So grab the book I and start now

Quick listen with some easy actionable steps

This is well worth a listen as its only an hour and a half and Phil has some great questions to ask yourself that help move out of the planning and into the action phase.

Extremely Helpful!

I found this short book very easy to listen to. I really love Phil's voice in a learning environment (I have multiple publications of his). I also enjoy his teaching style as it matches my own. This book is great for anyone with a big idea or even transitioning to a new career and need a short road map on where or how to get started. I like clear steps that can be easily followed and Phil provides that beautifully.

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!!!

Exactly what I was looking for

Exactly where to start is what I needed. It’s a great introductory plan to getting started with your big dream/idea. So happy I got the book and now looking forward to applying what I learned.

Extraordinary small book

Phil Jones is my most trusted advisor when it comes to achieving what you want in your career.

Concise to get you moving

Book is perfect to get you to act. Follow the steps get moving, see results.

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.

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.
