- The Premortem Analysis and the Ostrich Theory - how they can quiet your overthinking.
- How comfortable inaction is sabotaging you.
- Actionable and applicable rules to get started before you feel 100 percent ready.
How to create motion and take the first step from complete stillness.

- Strategically plan your days to prevent laziness and distraction.
- What you think is action, but is actually a waste of time
Become a machine of proactive energy and activity.
Action and results are the only things that matter in the world. Not your planning, intentions, or nice thoughts. This book puts action at the forefront of your brain and makes it nearly impossible to stay still. That’s precisely what will get you ahead in life. Taking that first step is always hard, but it doesn’t have to be.
The more action you take, the luckier you become. Buy this audiobook today!

Historia
In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.

Rarely do I give 5 stars but……
This book is perfect for those who are in a comfortable situation, i.e. retirement, inheritance, housewife, or generational wealth! Anything that puts you in a situation to where you do not worry about the day day2day financial worries! But that is not what our life is all about as much as it is, to be quite honest, finding our purpose! Frankly, this book does not tell anything different then we don’t already know, but in my mere opinion, I think the reason why it has not gotten as many high reviews as it deserves is the fact of what I already stated. Additionally, when you are searching for the answers to get out of procrastination a lot of the times, the answers are as evasive as they are repetitive but what this author has done is taken all of those viewpoints and comprised them into one book! But again it’s only gonna be for certain type of person in a certain situation like any book - to be fair! I found this book to fit me perfectly! So, with that being said, that’s why I stated this statement with the above suggestion so not to waste your time! But you may not be in the above situation and still find the book helpful, which is my hope for you, because this procrastination is lack of discipline but that does not mean that it’s a lack of focus!

Useful and Actionable Guide
While the title is a bit hyperbolic, this is a good guide to the myriad reasons people procrastinate and different strategies and techniques for overcoming that barrier to success. For those who are well-read in self-development literature, there is little or no new information, but this book does concisely cover a lot of material and, unlike many books that discuss the WHY of procrastination, this one not only delves into several different causes but actionable steps that can be taken to try and overcome each procrastination source. A good book for anyone who has tried and failed to take action and needs to know what steps to try for their particular brand of struggle.
