I liked what Bo Sanchez discussed in this book. No matter how insinificant we thought we are, we are big in God's eyes. And He'll use us if we say "yes" to Him.

A great book. I learned what is the true meaning of HUMILITY.

"If you want to serve, you shouldn’t be ashamed to show to people your strength. Go ahead, advertise yourself. Tell the world the gift that God gave you. Because your intention isn’t to lift yourself up, but to lift those you want to serve."

Thank you Bro. Bo! 😊

All of us have our own Goliaths that is preventing us to pursue the dream that God planted on us. If we don't have faith with God the Goliath in us will slowly consume us and before we know it we lose the battle before it began.

With the guide of our Lord and having our faith with Him, we can face our Goliath and defeat it so that can receive the blessings and dream that are waiting for us.

Every once in a while, you pick up a book that doesn’t just “inspire” you, it confronts you. Bo Sanchez’s Conquer Your Goliath is one of those books. It isn’t a lengthy treatise, but it packs the force of a battle cry. Using the classic story of David and Goliath, Sanchez reframes our struggles not as random misfortunes, but as battles designed to awaken the champion within us.

A Fresh Take on an Old Story.

We’ve all heard the David and Goliath story so often it’s almost cliché. But Sanchez manages to pull new life out of it. Instead of treating Goliath as just a towering villain, he casts him as a mirror for our own struggles: fear, debt, insecurity, career pressure, even spiritual emptiness. What struck me is how he treats giants not as barriers but as invitations. The bigger the giant, the bigger the opportunity to grow into the kind of person capable of slaying it.

The Five Stones of David.

One of the book’s most practical insights is Sanchez’s breakdown of David’s five smooth stones into modern-day virtues:
• Faith: the anchor that steadies you when everything else shakes.
• Resourcefulness: seeing solutions in places others overlook.
• Passion: the fire that keeps you running long after logic says quit.
• Boldness: the courage to step onto the battlefield even when your knees are trembling.
• Excellence: the discipline to master your craft so thoroughly that your slingshot always hits its mark.

For me, these aren’t just Sunday school virtues. They’re a playbook for thriving in competitive environments, whether in finance, sports, or personal ambitions. I found myself asking which of these stones I lean on the most, and which I need to sharpen.

Facing Financial Goliaths.

Sanchez’s chapters on financial “giants” will resonate with anyone navigating the modern money maze. He points out how fear, bad habits, and poor planning become invisible Goliaths that paralyze people. His advice is simple but profound: conquer the small financial battles daily and the big giants lose their power. For someone like me, who thinks often about markets, risk, and long-term growth, this section felt strikingly relevant. It echoed the truth that wealth and freedom are not about one big win, but about compounding discipline.

The Champion’s Mindset.

What I appreciated most about Sanchez is that he doesn’t glamorize victory. Champions, he insists, aren’t born. They are shaped through scars, rejections, and repeated attempts. He writes about how David wasn’t just a lucky shepherd boy; he had already wrestled with lions and bears in obscurity before ever stepping onto the battlefield. That hit home for me. Often, the work we do behind the scenes, the grind no one applauds, is the very preparation for the “Goliath moment” that eventually defines us.

Stories that Stick.

Throughout the book, Sanchez shares stories of ordinary people who conquered extraordinary challenges: a single mother who broke out of debt, an entrepreneur who turned failure into a stepping stone, a man who faced illness but refused to let it define him. These stories aren’t polished fairy tales. They’re raw, relatable, and grounded. I found myself nodding, not because I shared their exact battles, but because the emotions—fear, doubt, resolve—are universal.

Why This Book Matters Now.

I’ll be honest: this isn’t the kind of book you read once and shelve. It’s the kind of book you return to when the next giant shows up in your path. For me, reading it now feels timely. Whether it’s the grind of building a career, facing financial risks, or even the mental battles that creep up in quiet moments, Sanchez’s words serve as both a reminder and a challenge. Your Goliath exists to reveal the champion within you.

That line stayed with me. It reframes problems not as things to resent, but as tools to sharpen character. And when you see your struggles that way, it’s almost impossible to face them with the same dread.

Final Thoughts.

Conquer Your Goliath is deceptively simple. It’s a short book with long echoes. Sanchez writes in a conversational, almost pastoral tone, but the weight of his message is strategic. You already have everything you need to win your battles; you just need to pick up your stones and step forward.

If you’re at a crossroads, feeling like your challenges are outsized, or just need a reminder that adversity is not the end of your story but the training ground for greatness, this book belongs on your shelf.

Some people have a fear of failure which causes procrastination. I picked up this book in the library while skimming through the shelves looking for a light read.
It has a chapter on "Fail Forward" about the basic wisdom that every failure has a lesson; but he had a great story to illustrate to be prepared for failure.
I especially liked the Ten Sacred Rules of Success that was found hidden in a cave in Northern China.
It's a nice little book of just over 100 pages long, took me only 2 hours to go through it. The book is basically about the author's rendition of 7 Key's of a Champions Life and he has useful advice for all 7. The book makes for a nice short-read and can be valuable when the lessons are applied.
