One of the better self-help books that I have read along the way.

It's kind of like what Eminem says--"you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime." :)

In a nutshell: feel the fear, and do it anyway.

The main problem most self-help- personal development books have is that, if you read consistently, they end too fast that you can really internalize what is written. With this book, Sam Horn solves that problem! Gives you bite-sized information and a call to action each day for 30 days. Well, you can very well go 2 days at once, as though they build on each other, they don't necessarily come step by step.

1 percent a day makes a tremendous difference in a month. An unbelievable change over a year and unimaginable results over a lifetime. And this book can totally deliver what you need to keep that going for a month or two!

I have just started this book, but so far it is very interesting. I like the questions it asks and the personal challenges it asks you to take on. To date I think it will be a book that could live up to it's name.

A bit too many quotes for my taste but still enjoyable and inspiring.
