Daily Rituals: How Artists Work is a book that delves into the daily routines and working habits of more than 161 highly successful and creative individuals. The book, written by Mason Currey, provides insights into how these creatives structured their days to manage their work and personal lives. It includes profiles of famous figures such as Anthony Trollope, Karl Marx, Woody Allen, Agatha Christie, and many others, highlighting their unique routines, habits, and quirks. The book aims to show how grand creative visions are translated into small daily increments and how these routines influence the work itself. It also explores broader themes such as the balance between comfort and creativity, and the importance of forming good habits to free the mind for more interesting fields of action[1][3][4].
In this book, Mark Manson argues against the typical self-help advice of constant positivity, instead suggesting that life's struggles give it meaning. He emphasizes the need to focus on what truly matters and to accept and confront painful truths. The book is divided into nine chapters and uses blunt honesty and profanity to illustrate its ideas, encouraging readers to find meaning through values they can control and to replace uncontrollable values with more meaningful ones.
Let’s start with a few questions to ponder…
Why are we chasing Internet or social media fame, when the surest way to develop a strong business is by connecting with the family down the road?
How is perfectionism holding you back? Or keeping you from taking the next big steps in your development?
And is a lack of authenticity keeping you from truly connecting with your ideal customers?
Well luckily for you, my guy Jonathan Goodman is here to walk us through all of this – and much more!Jonathan burst on the fitness scene when he originally started the Personal Trainer Development Center (or PTDC) almost 15 years ago.
And today he’s a published author multiple times over, with his recent book – The Obvious Choice – dropping in January of this year.
And today we’re going to take the principles he outlines in that book and use them to help YOU grow a more robust and resilient fitness business!
What’s the 1% that makes YOU different?
