Okay, this is not my first experience with Donald Miller. His marketing book BUILDING A STORY BRAND should be cannon for people at this point, so I had high hopes for this. I'm someone who stockpiles knowledge, so while I'm not currently on a coaching journey, I feel like it could someday be a part of my story, so this, I know, prepares me for that eventuality. (Putting it out there in the universe). I highlighted a lot and felt like Donald was speaking to me in a way that was blunt at times but made sense: everything his brand promises. I'd be remiss if I didn't give it a 5, so a 5 is what it'll get.

If you wanted to sit across the table with an experienced coach to get you started, you'd want this book. Once you got moving, when you needed a master coach to look over your shoulder as you built your business? you'd reach for this book.

I've rarely seen a detailed step-by-step approach to building social media presence, connecting with people, and growing your business. In fact, I'm going to recommend it to any entrepreneur who is working on a startup. Adapt the counsel to your own vision and enterprise.

"Here's your 1. 2. 3. on how to become a success."

This book is super actionable! I work as a coach in a K-12 educational setting, but a lot of the steps mentioned in the book are things I can use to help me enroll teachers and keep my coaching up to date and flourishing. I know that at some point I will want to leave education and possibly go into business for myself, and this book has ways for me to do that. I'm not sure I was the intended audience, but I still found things that I can use in my current position.
