About this listen
From New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff, a book for those who want relief from always starting and never being done.
Jon Acuff, sought-after speaker and consultant, is the friend who always gives you great advice. With his self-deprecating humor and charm, he has won over hundreds of thousands of followers who come to him for both encouragement and a kick in the pants. Now, after showing you how to reboot your career in his New York Times best seller Do Over, Acuff shows chronic starters how to actually finish their goals in an age of bottomless distractions and endless opportunities.
Acuff knows the reason why many writers' novels go unfinished - it's the same reason why gyms are filled in the first week of January and empty by the end of the month and why people stop learning a new language once they get past the easy parts. It's not just that people lose momentum or get distracted. People give up on projects when they fail to live up to their own high expectations and decide that if they can't do something perfectly, they won't do it at all. If you're going to finish, you have to kill perfectionism.
Drawing on his popular 30 Days of Hustle course, Acuff teaches listeners to short-circuit perfectionism and make it through to the end of a task. Whether it's by "choosing what to bomb" or "cutting a goal in half", he shows listeners how to move past "the day after perfect", get focused, and - finally - finish.

"When it comes to personal achievement, there’s a fine line between tragedy and comedy. No one beats Jon Acuff at helping me laugh at my foibles while offering me help to overcome them. If you want to master the art of finishing, read this book!” (Michael Hyatt, USA Today best-selling author of Living Forward)
“Are you haunted by the ghosts of unfinished goals? I never met an idea I didn’t like, so I know all about the excitement of starting and the difficulty of finishing. Fortunately, the ever-entertaining Jon Acuff has come to the rescue in this terrific new book. Finish identifies the many ways we sabotage our own progress and gives us powerful tools to ‘get ’er done.’ Read Jon’s book, apply its wisdom, and I guarantee you’ll cross your personal finish line - laughing all the way.” (Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager and One Minute Mentoring
“Jon Acuff is speaking the preferred language of all great leaders-get things done! If you want to stand out today, then it’s imperative for you to be a finisher, and Jon has provided a practical, inspiring, and seamless roadmap for moving things across the finish line. Finish is an instant classic!” (Brad Lomenick, author of H3 Leadership)

No bullsh@#
I found this book so useful and applicable to every aspect of my life. John uses humour and everyday experiences to get his point across. He is to the point and has the tone of an all round good guy. Reccomend this for people who want to make changes but just need that kick up the butt.

Finish: done and dusted
Useful self help for anyone struggling to get THAT project done!
Yes, a tad self help-ish, but recommended by the fab academic mentor, Kathy Mazak. Perfect PhD encourager.

If you have trouble finishing things, this book is for you
Really useful techniques and identification of the reasons why we don’t finish things (that are important to us). Insightful, fun and worthwhile.

So interesting
Not only was it well read to us, it was funny and beyond enlightening as to why I’m a chronic starter.

Must Read!
This book is fantastic! If you’re a known (or unknown) perfectionist, then this book is a must read for you! The author is very witty and makes fun of the critical mind, the part that inhibits our growth and stops us from finishing the things we want. He gives really practical and fun advice on how to complete your projects.
I’m telling all my friends about this book as I know it will help many of them! Thanks Jon for an enjoyable book, you have really given me (and many others) a great gift!

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is stuck I've tried many things but yet can't find the way or the reason that they have not changed yet.

One quick answer to nearly all problems of my life
This book is my personal favourite. This has shown why people don’t finish what they start. This is exactly the kind of guidance I wanted. By writing an imperfect book, this book somehow is made perfect. Thanks Jon.

Fantastic Strategies, Super Useful! 😍
Loved this audiobook. Some great strategies and practical tactics help you get things done and avoid the paralysis of perfectionism. Author has some funny lines but I feel like he maybe tries a little too hard to be funny too often as I found myself drifting off during some of the stories. Awesome listen all round though! :)

Great motivation for any procrastinator by someone who knows what it's like to find excuses. Enjoyable and educational.
