    The extra push I needed to hear

    Being an overwhelmed entrepreneur running a business and sustaining my family, I've already listened to this audiobook 3 times in 7 days. It's like fuel for the brain. Such simple, practical concepts yet they make so much sense in the way he describes them. This audio book differs from others in the sense that it provides specific action items along the way. He literally says "here's what to do about it" and lists steps. Awesome.

    I will listen to this weekly for months to come. Already have seen an increase in productivity and motivation. And best of all, an increase in income.

    For the record, I've also listened to: Think and Grow Rich, The Law of Success, The Science of Getting Rich, the 4 hour work week and the E-Myth revisited. This adds to the collection perfectly. If you're a business owner or someone who simply wants to "level up" in life, definitely get this book.

    Tittle is not accurate

    The book has good content, but due to it’s title I expected more content about thinking big, and not so much about success patterns.

    Ole Reliable

    Ignore the old-school FX and the decent audio quality. If you can do that, you'll find this to a be a great way to recharge your confidence!

    Often, I'll retreat back to this audiobook when I'm not feeling great, and the tips and stories revive my soul. It also helps to hear Mr. Schwartz's voice. He sounds like a funny, helpful, and honest human being. Very personable, which is an advantage for self-help audiobooks. I choose this over Napoleon Hill any day.

    good motivator

    Iwish it came with cliff notes for the action items. but it does a good job of structuring goals.
