Master starting and you will be hard to stop. That is the promise of Startacular, a book with a singular purpose: becoming skilled at getting started, learning to take consistent, confident action. It's training in the art of initiative. You'll learn:
- The four causes of failures of action
- Why sustained action is the one indispensable element in achievement
- How to focus on starting relentlessly instead of obsessing over finishing
- How to use maximums and minimums to control your efforts and make starting again easier
- Why advice like 'just don't quit' backfires (instead, learn to work in short, focused bursts and stop with pleasure)
- How to minimize the time between decisions and actions, fortifying your initiative
- Why there is nothing habitual about true initiative, and the value of 'mercenary' action
