The 80% Approach

What a wonderful book on gaining more clarity in your life - and getting a LOT more done.The 80% Approach = "A way of thinking and acting that eliminates the paralysis of perfectionism and procrastination." (from the beginning pages of this book.)I speak for myself when I admit that perfectionism and procrastination have cost me a lot of time, confidence and money. Dan Sullivan clarified it so much for me, by showing that perfectionism and procrastination come from the same "mold." Perfectionists are always procrastinators, and procrastinators are always perfectionists.So the whole reason for anyone reading "The 80% Approach" would be to eliminate procrastination and perfectionism, and become super confident and achieve your goals.

The book did not seem to give much more detail than the short description on Amazon and was filled with claims that seemed to be nothing more than opinions or marketing for a coaching business. I took the perfection-procrastination problem quite seriously, agree it is rampant and looked forward to reading the book for solutions. The solutions presented were not very useful to an individual but could encourage a team leader to delegate. I did not find this book helpful but became curious about the coaching so ended up feeling manipulated by this author to seek out further of his services.

I think I might have liked it more - even would have given it a better chance - if it hadn't been so slight. Basically - the price should have been much lower considering how much paper and ink went into producing it. I understand that ultimately the value lies in the ideas gleaned in a book(let) but seriously - this one seemed like highway robbery.

Very short book that covers the material very effectively.It provides a quick, incisive framework to help unblock you from perfectionism and procrastination.I do think it over-reaches a bit in parts. And sometimes the author makes it seem like the concept will revolutionize humanity.But in the whole, it's well worth the read. Highly recommend.

I've struggled with perfectionism and procrastination for years. This book clearly identified the drag that has created in my life and career. The tools within easily replace countless ineffective coaching sessions in my past which never created this clarity. Now I have a simple, easy-to-apply framework for accelerating my success, freeing myself from struggle.

Without doubt the most powerful concepted related in a minibook I have experience yet in business! A must read for those who build content and feel trapped in a never ending cycle of not good enough not good enough not good enough yet!

Some of the best advice ever received - stop being a perfectionist - it will never go anywhere. Dan's language is easy to understand and his suggestions easy to implement.

If you find yourself stuck and procrastinating this book will give you the inspiration to give yourself permission to move ahead without using perfectionism as your excuse for inaction. A valuable complement to Steve Pressfield's indispensable book The War of Art.

A good book aimed mostly at organisations and teams.

Short concise and powerful.A great read for people struggling with not meeting deadlines or feeling like their work is inferior to others...

Bought it. Read it. Used it. It changed how I get things done for the better. Totally recommended.

Adopting this approach in mind and action will radically change your personal and professional productivity and remove all barriers, blocks and fears that may be causing delay and procrastination or progress in your life right now.

It was good - slightly repetitive. Decent read though. I wish they made more short books like this one. Thanks
