Businesses fail for a lot of reasons. The biggest one, however, is the owner's lack of understanding of their personal decision-making skills, who they are, or who they should be inside their organization. Running a business is both an art and a science. If you are only good at one of them, or in the worst case, neither, you will most likely become one of the 65 percent of people who fail.

Great Applicable Advice w/ Recommended Resources
I appreciate the authors honesty, he is not afraid l to tell the reader what he or she needs to hear in order to improve their financial situation. very applicable content. the author gives a plethora of free online resources to use. he covers quite a few topics, the ones that I would argue are most important - saving, investing, giving, as well as salary negotiation skills and starting your business. what I like most about this book is that the author always points you towards resources that will help further your understanding in the topics he discusses. which makes this a valuable resource for that reason alone.

Excellent
Would you consider the audio edition of The Ten-Year Turnaround to be better than the print version?
I didn't read the print version, I have it as a reference though. I'm able to get through books faster because of the amount of time I spend driving and prefer audio over the print version.
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed how relatable the author is. I loved his personal perspective. He told his life and how he did it, and I respected it. Who's to say someone can't devise a plan for a 3 or 5 year turn around? I wasn't looking for a quick get rich scheme. I wanted to know the path Matt took to success and I loved how he formed his life in those ten years and he felt real for me.
What about Stu Gray’s performance did you like?
Stu was remarkable. I felt like Stu was talking directly to me and not reading from a podium. That's the energy I need while driving. I've listened to too many books that put me to sleep because the narrator is dry.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The chapters that were well rounded. When Matt became wealthy he didn't stop teaching, he continued on the path of credit, insurance and taxes. Phenomenal, I never thought about that perspective but thanks to him I know it's something to put in my radar.

Many thanks Matthew for writting this book. It is very well written and the ideas well structured and easy to absorb. I simply loved it.

A Refreshing Balance
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I definitely would. I feel like Matt does a fantastic job balancing what many major thought leaders say about finance management and business/entrepreneurship. He writes this book in a way that provides credibility to the opinions of Dave Ramsey, Tim Ferriss, Pat Flynn, and many others (whether they're directly mentioned or not), but still establishes them as what they are, ONE voice in the midst of many.
This book is especially valuable if you have had exposure to thought leaders and ever thought some of their principles were a little extreme or just unbalanced. Matt did a great job retaining everybody's message that it requires hustle and strategy to succeed, but there is a way to learn from everybody and find the principles that fit your personality and unique set of strengths.
Who was your favorite character and why?

Very unrealistic advice for the average American
What disappointed you about The Ten-Year Turnaround?
Ten year turnaround is a very long time and second what he suggested is unrealistic even people with degrees have to work in jobs they are not getting paid enough and raises are very rare. The blue collar have student debt and even possible a mortgage too. Lucky him that his made it and his has a life compiling story about his humble beginning but I find it very hard to believe it in how he has become successful as solo entrepreneur. I am a very well educated, professional and also run my business so is not easy to fool me. Yes, it is true that everyone can try to save at least something for a rainy day and for future growth but is based on what the person can afford.
What could Matthew Paulson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Yes, by being more realistic with the medium to low class of average American that lives paycheck by paycheck. How can anyone save $5K a month its impossible not with the high cost of living and inflation. Some families with two income per month don't even average that amount he proposes a month.
