Great Goalsetting Told From Experience

The Art of Accomplishment was an open and positive approach to getting things you want in your life done. This entire audiobook was excellent but I had some favorite parts. I liked when he talked about each person's perceptions and how you should try until you get it right. Not giving in or giving up. I reflect this back to my artwork. If I want to do better and get better, I have to keep it up. I can't just say, eh, I don't like it and give up. I have to like it and keep doing it until I like it more and more and get better.

I love the part about goal setting and especially setting boundaries, not only for others but for oneself. Taking action and not waiting for desire. Also the salmonic action was an interesting concept.

Nicholas Townsend Smith is a fab author and anyone would benefit from listening to this audiobook. i'll look for other books written by him in the future.

Shawn Milochik's narration was amazing. He spoke clearly and it was as if he were speaking to the listener one on one. It was like a friend speaking to me. He was personable and relatable. This was an overall great listen and I'd recommend it all day.

A perfect way to start tackling your goals

I am ever the procrastinating individual and thought listening to this book might help me buckle down and tackle some goals instead of putting them off. This book gives a lot of practical advice and ways to help keep yourself motivated and on task. It gives some great pointers on things to do and things not to do to get discouraged or bite off more than you can chew at one time. As with all of these types of books, it is up to any person to put these things into practice, but here he gives some personal examples that help you connect it to real situations. I think it is a solid tool kit for helping everyone get their New Years resolutions or long delayed desires put into a gameplan that they can follow to some success.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Listened to this the other day and it definitely motivated me. Now I'm motivated to plan and start this new year right. First goal is to finish the book I've been writing forever!

Honest Approach to Accomplishing Your Goals

Nick has a straightforward no-nonsense way about his approach to accomplishment. I enjoyed that he used his personal experiences to show that he is not immune to failure but by picking himself up by his bootstraps he was able to change his life and achieve the goals he had set in his life. I look forward to using the I.C.C.A.A. system in my business as well as in my continuing education. His recommendation of using mentors and experts is spot on. They are the trailblazers and if you'd like to know how they did it. You have to become their student.
I would recommend others to listen to the book and gain the nuggets of truth that are dispersed throughout.
