Not recommended for parents of young children

Loved the beginning story of his dad yelling, “did they measure the size of your heart goddamnit”. Lots of great tips and concrete steps. The accompanying action book is a nice bonus!

Constructive criticism: As a school teacher and a mother I found the number of times he used his young son Axel as an example very disturbing. No child knows what they want for their future definitively when they are 9. Children’s brains are still developing and they have so very little life experience. No child should be made to practice sports for 4 hours a day from such a young age. Axel did not come up with this two sport dream and plan to fulfill it, his dad Bo did. Perhaps Axel verbalized the idea but where did he hear about 2 sport athletes? Yep, his dad. There will come a day of resentment on Axel’s part. Not to mention burnout. I had a similar experience trying to fulfill my mom’s dream for me in music as a child. And his poor daughter Eloise.... She is clearly living in her brother’s shadow. I heard her mentioned a couple times almost in a strained way to not forget her while Axel’s name must be in that book more than 100 times. Bo, please allow your son to be a child and pave out his dreams on his OWN once he has more life experience! Those aren’t Axel’s dreams those a Bo’s dreams for his son.

Finally, I would have loved more examples from Bo’s performance days and speaking achievements. The multiple sports analogies are great at the beginning but become redundant quickly.

Bo defines Generosity with all he shares in this book!

The first time I heard Bo speak, I immediately knew I had to work with him. In fact, before the offer was made, I’d already completed the form and taken it to the back of the room to the surprise of the rest of his team. Why wait? I knew I wanted to work with him! And for the next several years I did just that.

He’s been my coach and mentor, so yeah, there’s bias, but only because what he has taught me works.

It’s not about being “selfish”, it’s about being the best at whatever it is you decide to do in life (and everyone’s best looks different). Best parent? Awesome! Get the book! Best author? Awesome! Get the book! Best dietician? Best chiropractor? Best bus driver? Awesome! Get the book!

In his new book, Bo has laid out exactly what he teaches at his live events and in his mastermind. His level of generosity in what he share in the book is unparalleled. He leaves out nothing.

Is Bo for everyone? Nope! If being your best (at whatever your striving for) isn’t something you’re interested in, he’s not going to be your cup of tea. He’s focused. He has a twenty year plan. Always has. And his results speak for themselves - not just his own results, but also the results of the people he’s influenced. You may feel called out...great! Lean into that and step up into what that tiny voice in the back of your mind has been begging you to do all these years.

It’s time... You get one shot. There’s no plan B in life.

(BTW, I have the Audible version while I wait on my hardback. It’s fantastic having Bo in my ear again!!)

Excellent and Inspiring!

As someone who has heard hundreds of motivational books, I was expecting similar content but was pleasantly surprised by the game plan that Bo delivers. An excellent game plan to take your dreams to the top level. Also a good one to share with your kids!

Bo Eason is incredible

If you ever needed a kick in the butt or a game plan, Bo is your guy. He explains how everyone has so much potential just waiting to come out. His ways may seem unorthodox or unreal at first, but give them a shot and you may just amaze yourself! He reads his own story with so much passion and energy, you have no choice but to stay focused and digest his message.

Complete rewrite of the story I’m telling myself each day!

Bo gets right to it and after reading / listening to this book and taking the action steps he outlines, you can not help but rewrite your plans and look at your future with such a new and inspiring outlook.
You also realize that by creating that future in your mind now, you’re the one putting in the obstacles and road blocks you’ll have to overcome. Once you really understand that fact, you can roll right through. Is the journey go to be hard, you bet it is and that’s what makes it worth traveling.

I’ll be back to read this again

Bo really scores with this book. Not a book with extraordinary revelations but definitely a profound message. Should and will make you excited and motivated to take action.

I will surely put this on the list to read again and again. The message of a 20 year plan is one to share both with adults and children. Can’t say enough good words about this book. Read it for yourself and implement the message.

A new way of thinking.

Especially should appeal to current or ex-athletes. It's a new way of thinking about just what me possible if you set your mind to accomplish something and make your own "declaration". I'll definitely listen to this one again!

Great read, highly recommend

I first got a chance to hear Bo speak in Dallas in 2016, so I was excited to read this book. Lots of books promise to make you the best. This one does not. What it does is give you a blueprint to follow to discover your story, make your declaration to be the best and gives you the tools, in the form of action steps, to get there on your own. I highly recommend reading this book if you’re looking to become great at anything in life!

Bo Brings The A Game

I loved this book, the message, the stories & the action steps. I first came across Bo when I attended the Worlds Greatest Speaker Training with Brendon Burchard. I loved learning from him on storytelling, stage and magnetism.
Bo brings the same fire to this book to catapult you to your A Game.

The Jerry Rice story starts the end - perfect ending!

Do the Activities. Immerse Yourself in Your Life.
This is your shot. Take it.

A Healthy Punch To Your Soul!!!

This is one of the best books I've ever read! I got through listening to the first 3 chapters while on a road trip. I paused it and immediately ordered 4 copies of the physical book to go through with my wife and kids for us to read, study and implement the action steps together. it resonates with me as a runt underdog myself. It's a must read for anyone who aspires for greatness and impact in their life. Thank you Bo 👊🏾💓🚀
