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.

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.

In the first chapter, Jeff Olson introduces his readers to the idea that every single person on this planet has the potential to turn either into a poor, unsuccessful beach bum or into a successful entrepreneur with a huge balance in his bank account. He tells his own story - about how he went from failure to success to another failure, how he slowly learned that failure and success both happen for the same reason, and that this one single reason can work either for or against you, depending on how you use it.

Arthur is a chauffeur who is intellectually gifted. Jonathan is no less bright than Arthur, equally hard-working, yet a billionaire. So why is Jonathan in the back seat of the limousine and Arthur in the front? What explains the difference between success and failure? Joachim de Posada found the answer in a Stanford University study of children who were able to delay gratification by not eating a marshmallow with the promise of receiving another one if they resisted eating the first for 15 minutes.

narrator has halting and erratic reading style
The concent is ace! It's a great read and I'm glad i listened to this book but the narrator makes listening difficult. The narrator uses erratic pauses mid sentence and sometimes he pauses after several individual words in a row before taking off reading at a pace that makes several sentences sound like one giant run on sentence.

Narrator needs to go back to school
The story itself is great, but man, was it painful to listen to the narrator's erratic pauses. I don't think he realizes that hyphens aren't read aloud as commas, because words/phrases like "strength-training" and "last-ditch effort" were read as "strength, training" and "last, ditch effort." Weird. I don't ever want to listen to a book narrated by this dude again.

Good Book on Overcoming Challenges
This is a good book for anyone who faces challenges in life; which we all face from time to time. Kyle overcame so may challenges, facing them head on and never backing down from his goals.
I highly recommend this book in hard copy over audio. It was very hard to listen to this book due to the cadence of Troy Klein. He does not narrate in a easy flowing manner. He has long pauses in the middle of a sentence or thought, making it hard to follow the story. This book is only 5 hours in length and I would typically get through this in a day. However, I struggled to listen to it for more than a few minutes at a time.
