There are only two paths in life: average and awesome. The average path is easy because all you have to do is nothing. The awesome path is more challenging because things like fear only bother you when you do work that matters. The good news is Start gives readers practical, honest and actionable insights to be more awesome, more often.

Over the last 100 years, the road to success for most everyone has been divided into five stages that mirror the decades of working life:

• Learning • Editing • Mastering • Harvesting • Guiding

It's time to punch fear in the face, escape average, and do work that matters.

It's time to Start.
