You have got to be done.
Get uncomfortable and then take action.
You must create the wave of momentum.
Prepare now for what’s coming.
You must be open to the unexpected.
You won’t always feel like your winning.
Understand the law of exposure.
You won’t do it alone.

Relatable book for everyone- shop owners and managers
Readers are leaders- start by reading a few chapters every couple days
Addiction can be other than drugs and alcohol, can be food and cigarettes etc
“You can’t coast uphill” – either getting better or getting worse, cannot coast success
Small successes can slow momentum- for example: losing weight is a success but maintaining weight is long term lifestyle. Can’t get complacent after your small success

Success is a curved road- can only see so far until you get to a curve
