Fantastic book! Clear, easy to understand and implement. The worksheets at the end of each chapter are a great way to take what you have just read and put it to work in your specific situation.
There is no short cut to a great life - it takes a plan and hard work. If you are serious about making big changes in your life, reading this book is a great way to help you get started on the right path.
I went into this book very skeptical, expecting to read about another lucky, out-of-touch individual condescendingly informing me that I can have everything he has if I just believe in myself. And I did get that, to some extent, but this book eventually won me over, to my surprise. Holm’s framework rings true to me, and seems to be a great way to structure your life goals and prioritize the things that will lead to fulfillment.
I love the image of a pipeline and having to build pressure in each of the areas to maintain the stream of success. Lots of great ideas to use in everyday life. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.
Finished reading this one again to use for my work presentation. Still a good book with good principles, just somewhat out of touch at times coming from the perspective of the rich.
