About this listen

Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go.

How do successful people stay focused and achieve results? This lively and insightful guide presents a simple program for taking the stairs - that is, for overcoming the temptations of quick fixes and procrastination, conquering creative avoidance, and transcending personal setbacks in order to tackle the work that leads to real success. Whatever your goals are, Rory Vaden's proven approach will get you there - one stair at a time.

I found a lot of useful information in this book. Action is required to achieve goals, and daily recommitments and accountability get us there. Rory does mention his company in examples of growth from his own life, but I don’t feel that it was excessive. He also mentions ToastMasters, which helped him in his personal development and honed his public speaking skills. In life, we try to share what we know to help others. I feel that’s what he did in this book. I appreciated the information shared and feel that I better for listening to it.
