I'm so happy I've found this book. Peter Hollins has given me answers to questions I knew and didn't know I had. I feel empowered and less of a failure, simply by having read this book. I can't wait to get started. Let me rephrase that. I've already started. I've read this book. I've also decided on my maximum 3 priorities of the day, and my day looks far more manageable, and my goals far more achievable, than ever before. Thank you, Peter, for all your advice and guidance. You are appreciated!
