Why did I find it really useful?

It’s around two hours forty six minutes long but the tight editing prevents brain slog while listening to it.

It’s divided into chapters which hold attention and was very useful  for me at a time I was struggling with motivation.

I have the kindle version and also recently listened to the audio book.Its interesting that the author Joanna Penn makes a dry but important topic so engaging .The book is in a format which flows effortlessly and makes the author entrepreneur feel understood.I was left with a feeling of hope after finishing the book .I knew consistency and discipline was the key .Thanks Joanna for writing this book.
