[…] I discovered a book called The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. I loved it so much that I dedicated a blog post to it. I’ve never read another book that so convincingly and simply breaks down the […]

[…] it might not be that wild, but it’s certainly not conventional. As mentioned in The Slight Edge, you have to start with a plan. That plan will never play out exactly as you envisioned. You […]

I know! And sometimes it seems like it takes so long, then out of the blue, all your work leads to somtehing. Me too– I’m still taking steps to see where they’ll take me. It’s kind of fun. I guess it’s impossible to stay still. Can’t wait to hear what you think about the book!

I know it’s easy to think you’re going nowhere while making small changes, taking little steps. It’s not until you look back that you notice how far you’ve really come! That’s what happened to me, anyway. And I’m still taking steps, waiting to see where they’ll take me next! I will definitely check out this book!

In reply to lolabees. The first book is a bit heavy on text [Parachute]. I think you'll like the second one more. It feels more accessible and the examples she shares are relevant [to my life anyway]. I agree that our mental game has more to do with what holds us back or drives us forward. I know that's the case whether I'm fly-fishing, taking photos, writing or spinning [bicycle]. Yeah, the Fonz....Happy Days was a decent show.

I think you’ll like it, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of the book. I’m glad to see you are recognizing those small steps– even something as seemingly insignificant as meeting a new friend for lunch! Celebrating those small things has made a huge difference for me along the way. It just helps you keep your head held high. xx

In reply to dental eggs. Don't change. With the quality of top notch folks you are interviewing on your blog, you are about to be cooler than The Fonz.

In reply to Natural Gumption. I'll have to check it out. This book has some great guiding principles. I guess I'm not surprised to hear that you've already read this, my dear!

In reply to “Occam Blade”.

I don’t think I’ve read either of those books. Do you recommend them? I definitely go through phases where I’m a self-help junkie and others where I want to have nothing to do with it. Isn’t what we all struggle with mental? I mean, don’t you think that’s what always holds up back or propels us forward?

Heyyy!! Isn’t that what the Fonz always said?
