Martin Meadows will show you exactly how to do this. This book is a self help guide that will help you journal questions and answers to help you with cutting away all the unnecessary things in your life and get more done so you can focus on doing less. A quote that we are all aware of but really need to concentrate on in our life is, "80% of your profits come from 20% of your clients." Martin Meadows writes self help books to help with your business life or personal life. The goal of his book is to help you escape the trap of complexity by learning how to focus on the vital few instead of the trivial many. The best part is the "Recap" at the end of each chapter. I have learned so many great things by reading his book. For example, limited options will give you a more satisfied life than if you have many options. If I go to a shoe store to look at all the types and styles, I have to admit it is hard for me to make a decision on what to buy. On the other hand I love the Harley Davidson brand name, so I stick to just that brand with fewer options. Martin Meadows suggests to take each area of your life for example, your clothes, get rid of all that you do not absolutely love to wear. Keep it simple, a famous newscast person wore the same suit each day and no one ever said anything, so if he can do that so can everyone. The same goes for fitness and health, stick to one thing that works, like 15 minute meals but eat that each day or week, so that you can limit your choices and simplify your eating choices, it saves money too. Most important I learned that if you are great at what you do in your Industry, know it inside and out, be the "go to" person. It reminded me of reading a book by Phil Cooke "One Big Thing." I have to say the writing style is simple, an it's an easy to read book. This book will invite you to explore new ways to simplify your life with examples, resources, stores, statistics and so that when you are finished reading it, immediate changes in your life become simple to do. I would recommend this book to those who need to get motivated and start making small steps to a more satisfying life. © 2015 Jackie Paulson ...more "

Jackie’s Quotes

“Don't go overboard in praising required behavior: 'We have only done our duty' (Luke 17:10). But do go overboard when your child confesses the truth, repents honestly, takes chances, and loves openly. Praise the developing character in your child as it emerges in active, loving, responsible behavior.”
― Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

“If your boundary training consists only of words, you are wasting your breath. But if you 'do' boundaries with your kids, they internalize the experiences, remember them, digest them, and make them part of how they see reality.”

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Steve Jobs

“We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing. Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change.”
