What’s Holding You Back?

Back in June I read the first chapter of Dave Navarro’s What’s Holding You Back? Beat The Seven Success Killers That Everyone Struggles With. (You get this chapter for free when you subscribe to his blog, Rock Your Day.)
I really liked it, so I bought the full version. And then I forgot about it for five months. One day I realized that what’s holding me back could be that I hadn’t read What’s Holding You Back, so I set aside some time to read it.
First of all, Dave is nuts to sell this for only $12.95. Maybe he lost a bet or something, I don’t know. But this is a good deal.
This is the kind of ebook where you have to be willing to do the exercises to get the most out of it. And there are LOTS of exercises. It’s sort of like having your own productivity coach, only in book form.
I’m not so good at giving compassionate advice. If someone says they’re trying to save money but they keep spending their whole paycheck by the end of the month, I’ll just say, “Well, stop doing that. What’s the problem?” But instead of just telling you what to do, Dave shows you how to figure out specifically where you’re having problems, and how to get through them in a way that makes sense for you.
It’s 172 pages, but it’s not as long as it sounds. He put in wide margins for taking notes, and there’s an appendix with another copy of all the worksheets in one place for handy reference. One thing I should say is that I found the sample chapter to be the best one, but we all have different opinions.
Anyway, since the first chapter is available for free, you might as well subscribe to Rock Your Day to get it. And then if you like it, you can buy the full version of What’s Holding You Back? Beat The Seven Success Killers That Everyone Struggles With for just $12.95. Seriously Dave, raise the price!
