While I didn't take action on a lot of the items in this book yet, I really enjoyed reading the experiences detailed in the book. The air of grace given throughout the book was refreshing.

Many words have been written praising this book; there's really not much I can add that hasn't been said. People who are considering this book should be aware that it is not in any way a How To Start A Business Checklist. Very little is said in that respect. What this book is is a shot in the arm, 50cc of 'you go girl!'. Crystal is your cheerleader; while she won't tell you what your goal is, she convinces you that you can absolutely reach that goal. For me, it was the right message at the right time.… (lisätietoja)

This book turned out to be a great way to start off my reading for 2017. I had expected it to be quick, light read-through, but as it actually contained some practical strategies and advice, I read it slowly and followed several of the activities to help me identify my focus for the year.

In chapter one, I wrote down a list of 'Personal Priorities', which chapter two then got me to expand to a 'My Best Stuff List'. Then I finally narrowed it down in chapter three to a list of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-bound) goals that I want to focus on this year.
Chapter two also encouraged me to write down a basic morning and evening routine, which has helped me be a bit more deliberate with my time.

Later chapters on finances, home management, dealing with failure, making a difference and looking after yourself were well laid-out and had lots of good advice, which I will be revisiting at a later date.

Each chapter was interspersed with little one-line quotes from other people (writers/historical figures/etc.), which I will definitely look at again when I feel the need for an inspirational quote.


Quotes from the book (actual quotes from Crystal, not the ones from other authors)
-----------------
"Nobody and nothing was obligating me to do anything except me!"

"I'd rather do a few things well, have my priorities in order, and enjoy life than try to do two hundred things poorly and have a stressed-out, exhausted, passionless existence."

"If you want to be more productive, you need to become the master of your minutes."

"Change must come from within. You have to believe you can change. You have to want to change. And you need to have something worth changing for, like an inspiring, audacious goal. The bottom line is: if you're not willing to put forth effort, you're never going to get very far in life."

"...if you stop focusing on your goals or where you want to go in life, you'll never make any progress.
So dream big dreams. Stick with your goals. Don't give up hope. Don't believe for a second that a small step in the right direction is a pointless exercise. As long as you have breath in your body, opportunity is waiting for you somewhere"

I bought this book primarily to support the author, because her blog was a source of helpful information and ideas when I was going through a rough time. Probably because I had been reading her blog for so long, I didn't find a lot of new information here, and the things that were going to work for me were already things I was doing. However, I can imagine that someone who didn't follow her would find a lot of helpful information and ideas.
