"You have the choice to go forward or backward. It’s as simple as that." (Matt Worthington)

In Worthington’s book, Ultra Productive, he details the tried and true methods of hard work, consistency, and discipline. Worthington claims the combination of these three actions, plus mastering your thoughts, are the keys to accomplishing any great feat, no matter how crazy the rest of the world thinks it may be. In his compelling memoir, Worthington takes you through the trials and tribulations he faced during his college years and shows the path to a more purpose-driven life - one that allows the listener to get ahead, overcome any obstacle they face, and ultimately, graduate from college debt-free!
