Excuses to let go of, behaviors to adopt, skills to acquire: a goal book for women who shrink their ambitions.
What the book argues
Hollis argues that women are trained to apologize for wanting more, and that the fix is a clear goal, a plan, and the refusal to make it smaller for anyone’s comfort. The book is organized into excuses, behaviors and skills, with the ten-ten-one method for choosing a focus.
Three ideas you can use this week
- Pick one goal for the year and let the rest wait; focus is the difference.
- Schedule the goal like a client meeting or it will not happen.
- Stop asking permission from people who are not paying the price.
Who it is for
Women starting a business or big project who need both a push and a plan.
How to turn it into a routine
Write ten dreams for ten years from now, choose the one goal that moves them most, and block its time this week.
Who should skip it
Heavier on motivation than on method, and the hustle tone can grate.
Verdict
Encouraging and simple. Best paired with a more detailed planning book.
