Buy two, one to write in and one to give to someone you care about." --Seth Godin, New York Times bestselling author of This Is Marketing"Charlie Gilkey knows you have little trouble beginning new projects. But finishing them? Thats often another story. The good news is that Gilkey is here to help. His terrific book offers a 9-step program to turn those great ideas into finished products--and your dreams into realities."--Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and When"Start Finishing is a heartfelt hug, bundled with a loving kick in the ass, a masterclass in getting unstuck, and a set of tools that finally . . . FINALLY . . . get you out of your own way and send you sprinting (and laughing) toward that thing, you know--that ONE BIG THING--that, until now, youve wanted so desperately, but never knew how to make your reality. Read it, do it, done!" --Jonathan Fields, bestselling author of How to Live a Good Life and founder of the top-ranked podcast The Good Life Project"Start Finishing is a brilliant handbook for professional excellence. Sure, its inspiring, but it goes way beyond the rah-rah to offer practical, doable, targeted strategies to actually accomplish what you may now think is impossible. Equal parts productivity guru, drill sergeant, and best pal, Charlie gives you exactly what you need to do your work with joy, commitment, and, most of all, to completion." --Susan Piver, founder of the Open Heart Project"Just like our houses, our work is filled with clutter thats keeping us from what matters most. Start Finishing shows us how to pick the ideas and projects that we want to keep and work through seeing them to completion. If youre ready to get over the clutter of busywork and do the work thatll make you come alive, get this book and start finishing." --Joshua Becker, founder of Becoming Minimalist and author of The Minimalist Home"Big dreams can feel overwhelming, but in this encouraging book, Charlie shows you how to get started, plan your projects, and just keep going. You dont find the time, you make the time--and Charlie will show you how." --Laura Vanderkam, bestselling author of Off the Clock: Feel Less Busy While Getting More Done and Juliets School of Possibilities"If youre wondering what you should do with your life, Charlie has the answer: start finishing your best work.

Get this book and figure out your purpose, one finished project at a time." --Jeff Goins, bestselling author of Real Artists Dont Starve"My decades of helping people create their body of work and start businesses have repeatedly shown that the greatest threat to success is the lack of ability to get things done and out into the world. Charlie Gilkey is uniquely qualified to solve this problem, and Start Finishing will fundamentally change the creative and entrepreneurial landscapes. Read this book and reap the rewards for the rest of your life." --Pamela Slim, author of Escape from Cubicle Nation and Body of Work"Paths are made by walking, not waiting.
