Essentially an extended advertisement for The Entrepreneur's Source, the bulk of this book feels padded and repetitive. The most valuable content lies in the "review" at the end (in the Appendices), where all the actionable content is summarized in a concise five-step process for defining your "primary aim":
"Step 1: Identify what you don't want. Begin by creating a list of what you don't want any longer in your life. Once you're done listing through all of these items, read through the list carefully and be aware of the feelings that each specific item brings up. Circle the items that trigger the strongest negative emotions for you. Narrow your list down to 1 to 6 items.
Step 2: Recognize what you do want. Next, create the opposite list of what you did in Step 1. Start writing down the elements you do want in your life. Stay away from material things and money, and instead focus on non-tangible items. Once you've completed your list, read through and circle the items you most want to be a part of your life and that bring the strongest feelings of happiness. Narrow your list down again between 1 to 6 items.
Step 3: Prioritize and break barriers. Create a new list of those most important items from your "do" list and rank them from most important to least important. Read through each item and brainstorm the barriers that get in the way of you achieving them. Write these barriers down next to the item. This step will help you better visualize and prioritize how you can achieve these goals. It's important to be aware of limiting beliefs.
Step 4: Write your eulogy. This may feel a little strange at first, but think of the far off day in your future when you're gone and all of your friends and family are assembled at your memorial. What do you want your eulogy to say? Write down what you wish others remembered you for and what others said about you once you're gone.
Step 5: Assemble your primary aim. Write a statement of the essence of your primary aim. This should be a single sentence that describes what you want your life to be like for it to express what's most important to you. It should make you feel energized, enthusiastic, and committed. Keep re-writing it until your final statement makes you feel this way."
While these steps offer valuable guidance for self-discovery, the book's overall execution falls short. You might be better served by seeking alternative resources that delve deeper into these concepts without the promotional undertones.
In conclusion, if you're solely interested in the core "primary aim" framework, skip to the Appendices. Otherwise, consider exploring other avenues for career and life purpose exploration.
