I listened to this as an audio book and I think it is the best way to read this book. The narration style of the author reflects very much his direct and straight forward philosophy in the book., which is simply "just go and do it". Sometimes being brutal honest and is all what you need to get things done.Thid book is realistic and practical advice to anyone who wants to a jump start to make actions and progress whether on the vocational or personal levels.

- The reality is never as horrifying as the worst-case scenarios you imagine.- Should you not worry about what others think of you, but you should also be willing to show your authentic, “weird” self. - People can smell fakes from a mile away.- Be original and trust your own ideas and personality.- People like helping others. Ask for help when you need it.- You should be legitimately interested in what makes other people tick.- Haters are going to hate, and the hard truth is that there’s no way
The author claims that he gave himself a week to write this book and you can feel that. Obviously, he can write it off on "that is just the way I communicate", but unfortunately that is not how books are written, this should have been a series of blog posts. I'm very happy that this book came with Kindle Unlimited and I didn't actually feel like I paid for it. Because I would have been angry if I would have gone for 3h audiobook for £12, paper copy for £11 or Kindle copy for £7. It's just not wo...
If you are offended by bad language, or you have a strong belief in the law of attraction then this book is not for you. For everyone else you will find lots of hidden gems, a giggle or two and a good kick up the rear end to:-A) Take actionB) Remove crap from your life that is not serving you wellC) Be human... this seems to be a bit of a 2018 theme!
Bought this as a kindle ebook for like £1. For that price, I can't say it wasn't worth it, though I was waiting for something amazing out of this book, and to be honest, he said nothing that I don't already know or do or think of in some way, so the whole thing read like he was preaching to the choir, as a friendly circlejerk monologue I would give out to friends on a pub visit on a saturday night. Though I didn't get a lot out of that, I can see how it could be valuable to somebody who wants to...
One star because the author didn't follow his own advice. The book is all to get you to pay to join his mailing list. He promises notes on courses he took in his life to the reader. You sign up and boom. You are on his list and further you get an email saying he doesn't have it yet. It's a compilation of other business books and he spoke about other personal experience. Save your time.
DecentA fairly short, no-holds-barred book that highlights the importance of hard work and gives tips on setting routines to succeed. Is very much geared towards those aiming to go into business and enterprise. As the title shows the language is strong and the messages straight to the point. Whilst most of the main themes seem like common sense, they are explained humorously and succinctly. Overall a decent guide to what has worked for Dan with no woo-woo or sales pitches for courses.
Enjoyed. Not all the ideas are radical, and the basic premise is pretty simple. Figure out what you want, and get on with working your arse off for it. But as Dan says, if you get one thing from a book, it's probably worth it's money. And I got several from this.
This was definitely $7 worth of advice. The advice was good but the writing was terrible, it read more like a rambling blog post. I was able to get the same effect of reading the entire chapter just by reading the little summaries at the ends. I also am not part of the target demographic of 30 something entrepreneurs and business bros so my review is probably not the most helpful if you are part of that group. So overall, I got my $7 out of this book and will be passing it on to someone who can
Reasonable advices for life. But overall, my conjecture is that these are mostly lessons you naturally figure out as you grow older. So for the young readers (especially independently minded), they may still act what they thought they are supposed to. For the older ones, it’s mostly a reading accompanied by knowing nods. Depending on how much you’ve thought about things like it, some of the finer points are pretty interesting. 1. Be selfish as in take care of yourself first before helping others...
With a focus on both business success (e.g. strategies to build a business through online sales/marketing) and personal success (personal development books), this was a fun and helpful read. My favorite sections of the book covered productivity tips and the concept of the "dentist appointment." In brief, this is the idea that you would never miss a health related appointment on your calendar - the same principle should apply to your daily sales/business development time.
Did not finish at about 60%. I took one or two useful pieces of advice from this book but there is no way this is worth £7.00 for an Ebook. It reads like how a friends blog would and gives hints and tips in the sort of way you'd find on a pickup artist forum. Meredith comes across as trying to be the reader's chum, swearing and lolz and all. He states where he's been in his past and how successful he is now. He gives a few insights of how he got there. It all comes across as pretty lazy. A very
So there’s some good solid advice in here, and it is a quick read. A lot of his advice can be applied anywhere in life and not just to business.. like Be Nice. Be selfish. Etc. I’m wicked curious how these entrepreneurs actually make a living, though... like he said one biz he had was “fitness copywriting”... wtf is that really? He could have gone a lot deeper with the subject matter, but I guess this was meant as a beginners course.
All is trueBut the language is disgusting. And one more thing, be compassionate for the others, the real success is about what you do, and if you enjoy it not about the money. When money us the goal you become empty.
Effing good readDon’t read it if you don’t like swearing. But if like me you just see it as words you’ll enjoy the hell out of this book. Full of poignant advice, makes you give a long hard look at your life and decision making... read it, and then just get stuff done, he’ll make you want to!
This will change the way you work and how you think about workWhat can I say clear and common sense advice on how to get things done and feel good about it. Its an easy read in fact I read it on a four hour plane journey so simple and easy to read as long ad you are OK with some colourful language
I listened to this on audiobook and I really loved it. I felt it was a perfect time for me to listen to it and most of what was said was really funny and relatable and I like the brutal honesty attitude. I feel like this is something that will help me on a daily basis and since listening to this I am slowly implementing changes in my life for the better. I am going to buy a physical copy for this book so I can keep it around and to remind myself to keep on going and doing things to better myself...
