Lots of actionable advice for setting up a prospecting system. More geared towards B2B sales professionals, but plenty of tidbits to pick up.
One of the best books I've read for people looking to expand their freelance writing business. Lots of really actionable tips and advice.
I was able to get an advance copy of Atomic Habits and I'm really glad I did! I haven't enjoyed a book about habits this much since The Power of Habit (one of my favorites). I feel like Atomic Habits is sort of the perfect continuation of the idea, looking at some of the ways to create and modify good habits after you understand some of the psychology of how habits begin and work. So if you've read the Power of Habit, you'll probably love this one too.
I'm a fan of James' blog anyway, but I got so much out of Atomic Habits, I took a few pages of notes. Some of the lessons I already know have changed the way I think about things and will help me build healthy habits for the rest of my life.
The book was well organized and had just the right combination of science, practical advice, and personal stories. I know Atomic Habits is a book I'm going to come back to, and I'm sure I'll pick up more with each subsequent reading.
More like 2.5 stars. Was fine. Picked up a few tidbits, mostly reinforced things I already knew, read. Probably a better read for true beginners.
More like a 3.5. Had some very interesting insights into the past but also felt sort of old fashioned when comparing to society today.
More of a 3.5. Found chunks of it slow but got really absorbed in the majority of it. Was slightly hard to keep all the various British government officials straight.
