How do you feel about investing years of your life into achieving an important goal - your time, energy, money, blood, sweat, and tears - only to give up and throw it all away?

Solid book on the concept of achieving your goals

If you could sum up The Ultimate Focus Strategy in three words, what would they be?

concise, focused, to-the-point

Who was your favorite character and why?

n/a.

What does John Gagnepain bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Not much honestly. He does a fine job reading the book, but I also have the book on my kindle and I don't feel that the narration added anything the book didn't contain on it's own. It's a great book & the narrator does a fine job, but I don't feel there is anything missing from the kindle/paperback versions.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

My favorite part of the book was Rule #1 in Chapter 6 The Three Golden Rule for Sustainable Success. Rule #1 is Discern Between Needs and Wants. In it, Martin discusses the importance of letting certain things go, and sacrificing for the sake of your goals. This was a different take than many books today that teach you that you can have everything, which tends to leave people feeling stressed out at what they are missing.

Any additional comments?

I also own the Kindle version of the book and wrote a review on there as well, which gives my thoughts on the kindle version. I like the book enough to have acquired both kindle & audio versions. If I had to pick just one, I'd probably go with the kindle version over the audio because there are concepts I was able to highlight & go back to, which is easier done on the kindle, but both are great editions, and I'd make my decision based on which format you prefer. I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Great reminders to gain success

The author has a great way of reminding me of what is most important and what is not so as to better focus my efforts. Those strategies apply in every aspect of life.

Any additional comments?

Martin outlines a simple and effective process for achieving your goals. The method is supported by research and Martin’s personal life experience. He also references his earlier books where appropriate and several of the most respected thought leaders in the field. Martin’s writing is refreshing in its candour even outlining who this book is not for.

very insightful

very insightful book and a new approach I didn't realize before listening to this book. there were 4 steps that this book is based upon and a long with in depth review of each chapter that explain it well. I will be implementing this strategy moving forward. this book is highly recommended if you want to start crushing your goals or feeling stuck.

Good book

I love the content of this book...lots of great information in concentrated form so you can get right to it...this helps as well to consume the info because it's not very long but extremely useful in developing a mindset on focusing on your goals...not very complex at all...I'm actually going to listen again...the narrators voice is not to die for but again you can't beat great info in concise form...I recommend this book...not groundbreaking but can certainly offer a perspective on goal focus that maybe is the same but just said a different way that can make you more effective

Good audiobook

Good book, I will keep going back to it and even got the kindle version to go with it. I'd have preferred the author's narration because, as with all personal development audiobooks, the principles seem to have a stronger impact when shared directly by the individual who has completed that journey himself or herself. However, the energy still comes through so I would recommend.

Spot on

Really good read
Set out very well
Easy to listen to
Makes alot of sense
Wad given this as free audio book of author and I am very pleased with it

Good solid strategy

Well thought out and structured way to achieve your goals. Well worth the investment to learn what you don’t know and/or refresh and consolidate what you do. I found the book very helpful.
