Achieving Success On a Curved Road – Key Takeaways

“Addicted to Life” by Rob Rowsell

• This book is relatable for everyone, including auto repair shop owners and managers.
• Readers are leaders, so start by reading a few chapters every couple days.
• Addiction can be to things other than drugs and alcohol, such as food, television, or sex.
• “You can’t coast uphill”. You are either getting better or getting worse, and you cannot coast success.
• Small successes can often slow momentum. For example, losing weight is a success, but maintaining your healthy weight is long term lifestyle. You can’t get complacent after just one small success.
• Get outside of your comfort zone, or you aren’t growing and learning.
• Success is a curved road, and you can only see so far until you get to a curve.
