Excellent Book !!! Highly Recommend It
Peter Hollins has done an amazing job of getting to the core of the issues I have with starting and never finishing any of my projects. While listening to the audio, I took copious notes and felt each point was spot on. I have a multitude of projects, some of them over 20 years old, that haven’t seen the light of day and have paid for multiple expensive programs from high level business coaches meant to get me into the state of momentum and completion. I haven’t followed through on any of those course teachings. Having the clarity and understanding on what I create to stay in inertia has been a great gift from this book and I can see how using the tools Peter has laid out could work for someone like me. I’m excited to put the tools into practice.

Great Read(Listen)!
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I listened to it twice and each time I found a new way to tackle my pseudo perfectionism.

Great motivator
This is one of the motivational book you should listen in our daily lives. Nice explanation of some methods in a way that compels us to believe that afterall common sense is not common in humans and we forget simple rules and following systematic measures that we help us finish what we start.

Best Book For True Success
This is the first book I selected from the 200 books I planned to read this year--I am happy with my decision. I believe this will be the best year of my personal and profesdional life as a result and intend to make it known with every milestone reached. Simply put, this book is a must read for anyone, lay person or professional, who wishes to improve his/her life and career experience.
The wealth of meaningful and practical insights and tactics can save you much pain, confusion, frustration, time, money, effort, and stress. "Finish What You Started" is a priceless gift to myself and the best way to start the year. It will be my number one reference for practice optimization. Absolutely wonderful, life changing product.

There's a lot of good sense in this book
This is a short book of just under 3 hours - but it doesn't carry any dead weight. The book is very much focused on providing ideas and suggestions and practical tips for finishing what you start. If you pulled all of the ideas out, they'd probably amount to about 30 practical suggestions. I've implemented a couple of them. I've felt that my laziness/inertia is intractable - but in fact it's not. It's just a series of poor habits and ignorance about how I work, and what works for me. This book goes a long way to helping you get to know yourself, and identifying what (from the selection offered) can move you forward in achieving your goals and objectives. I listened to the book 3 times, and each time I heard something new.

Productivity 101
Meh, more of a primer course for people with poorly developed organisational skills or understanding of what it takes to be productive.
If you're just starting out on a quest to find out why you struggle to get anywhere, this is a good place to start. If you want a deep dive, this is not the answer.

Tough to Finish Ironically
I liked a lot of the tactics in the book, however the narrator was simply painful to listen to. It sounded almost like a computer reading it back to me.

The Procrastinator
Great book, short and to the point. Excellent tips for someone like myself who takes on more than I can handle therefore I procrastinate because I am so overwhelmed. I look forward to listening to your next book 👍

Cool AI narration
I liked the monotone bot narration. It's not distracting the way humans are. The content was a concise explanation of of most of the effective success mechanisms found in books in this genre. Plus the author was kind enough to spare us from personal anecdotes.

Exactly what I needed after wasted hours and effort trying to learn how to manifest
This is a roadmap for success and happiness and if I only use half of it I will still have profited greatly and I feel once again in control. Thank you for writing this,

Great book/audible.
Covers essential aspects: how people fail and succeed. How people can recovery after initial
failures if they know about themselves and their projects better, etc.

Straight to the point and really useful !
Peter Hollins is not like every other authors telling the same thing all over again 50 times in a book. He goes straight to the point naming what you probably already know but have trouble understanding deeply. The methods are useful and easy to try.
