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.

ultimate advice

Love the content but the narrator was kind of boring. There is valuable information how to prioritize your life.

Good book

Had some good insight. I've listened to a lot of improvement books and this one had some insights I haven't heard before

Great book!

Nice book to review before you start new goal or goals in your life! Short and to the point!

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.

Simple and effective process to achieve your goals

Would you consider the audio edition of The Ultimate Focus Strategy to be better than the print version?

Yes, I had previously read the print version, however preferred the audio edition.

What did you like best about this story?

Practical process to achieve your key goals by eliminating all but the essential objectives in your life.

Which scene was your favorite?

Chapter 7: The Missing Fifth Component — Maintain Your Success reinforced one of Alan Weiss models that you always need to jump to the next plain of success avoid complacency.

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.

Melting Pot of Great Ideals

Many great principles, ideals and tips to improve your focus. A step-by-step approach combined with relevant examples that will certainly help you on your journey. Good listening!

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.

There has to be better books out there

I was 35 minutes into this book and thoroughly disappointed. The author tells you basically if you’re not successful, you’re not going to be successful.
The narrator is so boring you can’t stand listening to the book, he just makes you want to scream and delete the book all together.
This one was a total waste of my money.

I won't be a procrastinator anymore

even though I may have to listen to this book a few times before I actually start putting it to my daily day life routine but this book definitely showed me how to not procrastinate anymore

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.

A good listen

The book outlines issues that resonate with me and what I want to change about my life. However, the author makes too much reference to exercise and gives a lot of examples that relate to exercise, as opposed to general examples that can be relatable for anyone who wants to make changes in various sectors of life.

Otherwise, great practical advice! It has helped me start making changes to become better focused.

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
