It Starts With You: Turn Your Goals Into Success
Don't F*** This Up!: How To Get What You Want In Life
First sentence(s):
The single most important quality for achieving any degree of success and happiness is belief.
The margin of error is shrinking. Don't F*** This Up.
Has the new normal just f***ed up your future? Did you get your degree in the mail instead of crossing a stage? You're not alone. You did everything you were supposed to do. You worked hard, got the grades, and you're ready to start your next phase of life.
Then the floor caved in. Thanks to a global pandemic, you're entering adulthood, your new career, your college career, or the workforce during record unemployment, a terrifying economy, and social guidelines that have all but eliminated life as you knew it. Like it or not, this is your sink or swim moment.
If having a strategy was important before, now, it's critical. The choices you make and the practices you adopt right now are going to shape not only your career, but every other aspect of your life as well. It's a lot to wrap your head around, and frankly, many people are going to screw it up.
To be among the few who rise you need to:
Harness certain proven principles
Adopt high standards and become disciplined
Learn how to focus on goal setting
Develop and improve essential relationships
Establish a high level of personal integrity through the right actions and attitude
Develop the resilience and grit to overcome adversity
If you’re looking for career advice, this is not the book for you. This book is a series of life lessons that lifted generations of Americans through hard times. Some of the lessons will be hard to hear. You will have to take responsibility for your actions and choices; to work for what you want. Are you up to the challenge?
My two-bits:
Great guide to some of the basic tips in life to set yourself up for success.
I liked how this was clear and concise with each chapter ending with the main points to remember.
