Who should read it: anyone who wants good ideas for Big Picture goal achievement.
-Michael Masterson in The Pledge: Your Master Plan for an Abundant Life
“Promise yourself that you will read only gold from now on.”
Applying just one Master Plan idea makes the book worth my time.
Other gleanings:
- First thing in the workday, concentrate on your most important, not urgent thing that helps you reach the Big Goals. It starts your day with accomplishment and enthusiasm.
- Masterson’s active reading technique to zip through books while extracting more meaning—not just speed reading—will help me achieve my reading goal of one book a week.
- How to calculate your hourly worth
- Proof I am an information addict and how to become an information user with the 25-25-50 Rule
- Even writers need to get better at public speaking
“If you improve your speaking skill by just 10 percent, you will double your personal power.”
-Michael Masterson
This is the kind of book worth purchasing for future reference. However, if I use his learning and memory technique, I won’t need to review it.
Dialogue and references illustrated points well. Mr. Masterson, you have a new fan.
