A book that I highly recommend

I was at a point in my life where I felt stagnant and I felt that I was not growing professionally, I was not seeing results and I even thought that what I was working on, which had been my dream all my life, was suddenly not for me.
This book has made me change my perspective on many attitudes and concepts that I was misapplying in my career.
From the first page of the book, it talks about how to break free from mediocrity to take a step to greatness and start big challenges that will help you to unleash your full potential on a professional and personal level.
It is a transformational book that teaches you mechanisms to discover what your capabilities are and how to make the most of them for your benefits. I have applied all the steps and believe me, it will change everything you think about success and how you can reach it from a principled entrepreneurship.

Green has produced a transformative leadership book in the form of a guide that walks us through practical exercises and tips as the main secrets to becoming a successful entrepreneur. The main core of the book lies in the fact that being successful in this field requires a combination of passion, persistence, innovation, flexibility, a strong work ethic, and resilience.
The narrative is inspiring and it is well-structured so that those who are not so much into the field can easily understand and start taking advantage of the amazing information here contained.
I have enjoyed this author way too much, and I consider him one of the world's leading thinkers on what makes great companies tick.

The title reminded me of the movie Beastly, which inspired me to read this book. Being able to find ways to improve myself through different means is quite an adventure; being able to identify my struggles, fears, and insecurities and being able to work with them and then overcome them is the dream. This book helps you navigate through those difficult times in your life and be able to move away from those "suck," as the book says, and move towards your goals and aspirations. Remaining humble is something that comes easy, but self-awareness is something I need to work on. The author has a very candid and motivational writing style, especially when the author encourages you to take action and reflect on things.

Leadership is always a point to discuss

Leadership is always a point to discuss, mainly for me as a person who has only been working for a short time and wants to improve in this aspect to have a larger team every day and be guided towards the proposed success. The book gives us exercises and practical advice to achieve this. I consider that this is a very good book on the subject that has a combination of hard work, innovation, perseverance and other values that people who decide to be entrepreneurs have. It is a very entertaining book, easy to read and really very engaging. I highly recommend this book for those who are looking to improve the way they lead their business or simply want to learn.

Good concept

I like the concept of this book, about taking responsibility for yourself and doing better in this life, but I had a bit of a hard time getting into the book, though I think it was just me. The book is good, it's well written and has a lot of good advice mixed in with the author's personal stories, as well as many references to God and how that path can be a great help in this journey as well, if you're into that. We could all stand to know when we need to take responsibility for our actions and the events in our lives, and this is a great book to help you get there.

Achieving greatness seems like a utopian dream, something very difficult to achieve, and I am not saying that it is easy or that we should not strive for what we want, however, with the right help, we can face each of the setbacks that arise.
In this book, the talented author encourages the reader to reflect on their weaknesses, to understand where they come from and helps them discovering their strengths through practical exercises and clear strategies.
One thing I loved about this masterpiece is the fact that it is so versatile. Anyone eager to achieve a profound transformation in their life can enjoy it and get the most out of it.

I've been looking for books about entrepreneurship and business to help me to have more ideas and to train myself better since I'm just starting in this world, but without a doubt the books written by entrepreneurs are the best, reading the passion they have to create successful businesses and the amount of tools they share seems really admirable to me. In this book specifically, I felt I was in a practical class, where I understood many things about me as my talents and how to use them to improve what I have already achieved in my business. For me, it is a book focused on personal growth, to generate continuous improvement and finally develop your maximum potential.

Enough of excuses.
It is an interesting blend of a business book with a narrative of empowerment and personal improvement. To fulfill great achievements we need risks, and to take risks we need courage, and this book tries to help readers to face that process.
Suck Less, Do Better is a book for people who want to improve and advance leaving excuses behind and regardless of the difficulties along the way. Nate Green, the author, based this book on his own experiences and offers his learnings to guide others.
Here, there is advice that can be useful for personal and professional life. It has a positive message and invites readers to take action. I recommend it.

Suck Less, Do Better is an inspirational and life-changing book written by Nate Green. I really enjoyed this reading. It is concise and very well explained. It combines lessons about entrepreneurship and reflections on life and success. The author shares his experiences to encourage people to set objectives and make an effort to achieve them.
This is a remarkable book. I’ve read many books that attempt to help audiences achieve their dreams and be all they can be, and this is one of the best. I highly recommend it to anyone, no matter their present level of success, their abilities, or their goals. You will learn enormously from it to reach, if not surpass, your goals.

This was an okay book for me. The whole schtick to this is to take accountability and responsibility for yourself and your actions, to do better, and to be better in this world. Nate Green lays out his advice and provides examples on how it all plays out. He encourages you to strive and fulfill your goals, tells you to ignore the jealousy, but really, to focus on yourself. It took me a bit to get into it, but I think it's because there's so much happening in this book! It's short and quick. I do appreciate the resources provided at the end. You never know when you might need them!
