About this listen
It takes the average person 49.5 minutes to read 7,000 words. For the price of a coffee and a time investment of roughly three-and-a-half percent of your day, I believe the wisdom in this book to be well worth it's value.
Here's my sales pitch: The writing will not be quite up to the same standard, and the formatting is also not done by a professional. If you need a story behind each point to reinforce it, then please, go and buy the original. However, if, like me, you aren't a fan of the "fluff" that comes along with most books and would much rather skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed, enjoyable way including key takeaways - then I believe this is the book for you.
Save yourself time and money. I am only releasing summaries of the books that have made a true positive impact in my life. If you decide to purchase, I truly hope you enjoy and benefit from it. Amplify your knowledge in a simple, efficient manner. Take action, get your copy today!

In this must-listen book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, students, and businesspeople - both seasoned and new - that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called "grit".

Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth.
