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.

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.

I absolutely love this book! I have been struggling with not finishing a lot of projects and I find that the suggestions in this book is a God send. Thank you so much. The narrator is very good as well.

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.
