Great concept for productivity. Everything is actionable. However, the book is a little repetitive.

I really like the idea of this book and look forward to implementing this plan into my own life. I can't say too much about how it works or does not work but it is inspiring and I got a lot of useful takeaways which makes the book feel worth it. The intention iceberg is a strong one for me, along with the weekly rating and reviewing.

I can’t believe I read the whole thing, and wish I hadn’t.
The entire concept could be summed up in a paragraph - set goals and action plans with a 12 week timeframe vs a 12 month one.
Author is ableist, fat phobic, misogynistic, and oblivious. A few random assumptions that the reader is Christian sprinkled in. And for some reason, he’s constantly talking about how the reader is a manager or team leader / coach, who will be using the 12 week year idea (and book) with our direct reports.
And the only non-business examples he could come up with were goals around weight loss (frequently mentioning eating 1200 calories OR LESS per day while working out hard - which is not something anyone should do) and improving his relationship with his wife by implementing date night. If you ask me; a relationship with this guy is unlikely to be mended by going out to dinner. And I’m pretty sure he’s not the one arranging for childcare during a date night either. “Spend time with family” references in the book are beyond vague … it’s easy to discern that what the author thinks are the “most important things” — as per the blurb — are all hustle/grind related.
This could have been an email / tiktok video / blog post.
Glad I got it from the library vs buying it. Bummed I wasted the time reading it.

This book has some good tips but for me personally, it was too heavily focused on business/sales/clients/career etc advice. Which is great but not what I was looking for. I still picked up a lot of good advice
