FINISH

Jon Acuff

Give Yourself the Gift of Done

From the New York Times bestselling author comes a book for those who want relief from always starting and never being done.

Jon Acuff, sought-after speaker and consultant, is the friend who always gives you great advice. With his self-deprecating humor and charm, he has won over hundreds of thousands of followers who come to him for both encouragement and a kick in the pants.

In FINISH Acuff shows chronic starters how to actually finish their goals in an age of bottomless distractions and endless opportunities. Acuff knows the reason why many writers' novels go unfinishedit's the same reason why gyms are filled in the first week of January but empty by the end of the month, and why people stop learning a new language once they get past the easy parts. It's not just that people lose momentum or get distracted. People give up on projects when they fail to live up to their own high expectations and decide that if they can't do something perfectly they won't do it at all.

If you're going to finish, you have to kill perfectionism.

Drawing on his popular 30 Days of Hustle course, Acuff teaches readers to short-circuit perfectionism and make it through to the end of a task. Whether it's by "choosing what to bomb" or "cutting a goal in half," he shows readers how to move past "the day after perfect," get focused, andfinallyfinish.

Jon Acuff is the New York Times bestselling author of five books including his most recent, Do Over. He has helped some of the biggest brands in the world tell their stories, including The Home Depot, Bose, Staples, and the Dave Ramsey Team. Most recently he has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people at companies such as Microsoft, Nissan, and Comedy Central. Featured regularly on national media, Acuff has been seen on CNN, Fox News, and several other key outlets.
