WhoNotHow

by Dan Sullivan

The number one cause of procrastination is ambition. You come up with a new, better vision of what’s possible, but you don’t have the capability to pull it off—so you put it off. The problem is that when you had the new goal, you asked yourself the wrong question. Instead of asking, “How do I do this?” ask yourself, “Who can do this?”Your procrastination is inner wisdom that tells you the goal is truly great, but you're not the one to do it. Find out how to break free from procrastination and reach new levels of success by finding the right “Whos” to do the “Hows” to achieve your goals.

I don’t mind Dan’s short books. That’s the point. But this one felt particularly repetitive. The core principle is extremely important. Ignore it at your entrepreneurial peril. It it also doesn’t need a lot of explanation. You can see that as you read this.

It is very hard for me to accept this concept, of I am not the one who needs to do everything in one project, but this argument is valid and logical - I need to fight my whole upbringing, but I think this book helps a lot and gives a great path to follow!

Really good. If you have a vision for something, but can't figure out how to get it started, you're probably not the right person for the job. Instead of letting that vision die, find a Who, give them a What and a Why, and let them figure out the How.
