I don't know how the hell this book ended up on my device. Legitimately, I can't remember getting it.
I'm interested in the genre, so I took a peek.
It was an easy read. I'm not sure what to think of it.
If you asked a conservative guy who was successful how to succeed, I think he'd come back with something like this book.
It's a list of steps that I can confirm do work in entrepreneurial pursuits. The list is extensive and it will help. The steps are small enough that they will help you take action.
What's missing is the persuasion tactic that is so crucial in this genre. The best writers in this field will help you find a new manner of thinking. You'll start making changes in your life, and you'll think the ideas were yours all along. Meanwhile, the author is laughing because they successfully reprogrammed you.
Hung Pham essentially puts together a pilot's checklist that is extremely effective, but his motivational sections need work. He actually words some anecdotes incorrectly during a couple of passages. I don't think that was intentional, but it did get me to rethink why those anecdotes are accepted wisdom, so maybe he is a persuasion master and I'm just not giving him credit. Again, as I said, I don't know what to make of this book.
It was worth the short time it took to finish this book. I'd recommend it to any young person who just entered the job market and needs to change things up who can find it on a Kindle sale. It's worth the couple of bucks I probably paid for it.

Good actionable advice
Pham offers good advice in an easy to understand way the is simple to put into practice. The book suffers, though, from the epidemic of poor editing afflicting many self-published authors. PLEASE HIRE A PROOFREADER/EDITOR OF YOU CAN'T OR WON'T DO IT YOURSELF!

Straight to the point and actionable.
As a career procrastinator and victim of every excuse in the book; I find this read revealing. I take away many actionable items that I will implement in small bites. I find no faults in this book. This is a small part of the puzzle to what I need.

Meh
Well he appears to be serious and well intentioned, there's even a few tips i might try out. But the author's general writing ability is questionable and is at times painful to read. Maybe pay for an editor?

Full of useful tips
This book is short but packed with easy to understand and implement action ideas. Most of the tips are not new but will serve to reinforce what you need to hear. Well worth the minimal price.

Good but not great
Nice collection of thoughts and advices but I was kinda hoping for a more organized plan of action which it doesn't provide. I would recommend this to the novice reader of productivity and success.

Easy read and motivating
Got a lot of key takeaways that were new or served as a reminder. My favorite part is at the end of the book. Never stop learning. Love it. Highly recommended.

Short but sweet
Excellent advice presented in a systematic fashion. Pham doesn't 'reinvent the wheel' but instead compiles concepts that have always worked and always will work.
