Along similar lines to what you're talking about, I thought the book was great. I’d suggest reading the 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss.

More important is our intention, our commitment, or the "why." You may have heard the saying "He who has a 'why' can deal with any 'how.'" Or you may have heard that "You can do anything you want to if you want it badly enough." Of course there are things that are impossible, but I know that three months ago I was convinced some things were impossible which I have now accomplished. It's not that anything happened to make it easier, I just got committed and did it instead of finding excuses why not to. The training helped me understand that my problem wasn't that I didn't know how to do something, but that I wasn't committed enough to making it happen. When you're committed you get creative and find ways to get things done, and the training helps you figure out how to get committed and intentional about things.

I've been looking for ways to grow my freelance business but keep telling myself, "You'll never grow 'till you upgrade your software; upgrade your hardware; get better business cards; learn to stop drooling." While I'm sure some of it is valid and should be seriously considered, I'm working on not letting it become excuses for poor performance. Josh, you've piqued my curiosity. I’m impressed.

Josh, you’ve piqued my curiosity.

But here's just a tiny taste of one aspect of the program--A lot of what the program is about is getting you out of your comfort zone and the "processes" they put you through facilitate that. Now, you don't have to confess your sins or do anything that violates your moral standards, but if you're afraid of public speaking you'll get over that. If you're afraid to call people out when they're not being straight with you you'll get over that too. If you find yourself second-guessing what you do because of what other people might think, even though you know you're doing what's right, once you go through the training you won't care what people think about you. It's not a flippant "Who care what you think, man!" type of thing, it's just that you'll figure out what needs to be done, and then you'll do it, and you won't be ashamed about it. For example, I'm leasing out my office. That's something I resisted doing for a long time because I didn't want to face the shame of closing it down and appearing to have failed in my business pursuits. I thought of all the people who would see the sign come down and say "MWI's going out of business! I saw the sign come down off the building!" Now, I looked at the situation and how much I was spending, decided it wasn't wise to continue spending the money on office space I wasn't fully utilizing, and I'm getting rid of it, and what other people think about that is a minor consideration for me and there's no shame in it for me. I just don't feel it. It really is just business for me and no longer personal. That's one example of a result I've gained because of this training. There’s no milk in this program, it’s all meat.

Time managment or something. Might be nice to have a little milk before the meat, sabe? Anyways, I'm always down for a stake. What’s the jist of the program, Josh? Time managment or something.
