Sharon Gillenwater told an inspiring, real story about how she built a successful business and team from the ground up. She is honest, funny and a total bad ass I aspire to be like.

The most important read for our generation

Reviewed: 07-10-24

This is the most important read as a parent of young children born into the generations of an over digitalized world. He gave some very important safeguards for protecting your children, empowering them, and helping them learn and grow to their full potential. He brought up some very alarming statistics about technology use for youth and children, and gave practical and hopeful solutions for helping our kids.

My takeaways from the book that I will use with my own kids:

1. Limiting the access of kids to age appropriate sites
2. Keeping social media and smart phones away from kids until the age of 16 and 100% avoiding around or before puberty
3. Giving our kids age appropriate freedom, autonomy, responsibility and trust.
4. Not over protecting our kids in areas of independence and free play and under protecting in screen time
5. Give more free play and in person social interaction
6. Give kids responsibility and work so they learn the value of their contributions
7. Send our kids away to screen free places like summer camps
8. Play with them more!
9. Go camping more and be in nature
10. Send them on errands out of the house when they are bored, even if you don’t need anything
11. Have reliable routines in the day without screen time: eating, family play and connection times

Know when to quit and when to persevere

Know when to quit and when to persevere.
Seth Godin demonstrates the value of pushing through the dip, which is the hardest part that most people will drop off at. It is what is required to be the best in the industry and to be very successful.

He stresses knowing when you will quit, and knowing that you are able to make it through the dip before you even start something. He differentiates between a dip, a cul-de-sac, and a cliff. The cul-de-sac is your comfort zone that is not making you stretch, the dip is that last minute of muscle building that is required, the intense discomfort that most people are unwilling to do, which is why most people don’t have an eight pack. And then he talked about the cliff, which is a project, relationship, job, etc that is headed for imminent for failure. Quitting the cliffs deliberately is just as important as sticking through the dips. He Explained how the people that are at the top of their game were not overnight successes, but pushed through the dip for quite some time to get a breakthrough. Pushing through the dip is one of your greatest competitive advantages. 

Insightful read. Short, and to the point with all the necessary details packed in.
