For the first step, he draws a counterexample from his first, failed foray into business after leaving the military, which he entered into with partners he intuitively recognized were ill-suited, but chose to work with anyway-thus teaching him about the importance of trusting intuition. ![]() He devotes a chapter to each step, using his own experiences-good and bad-as examples. ![]() Taking a matter-of-fact but empathetic tone, Webb revisits his challenging days in BUD/S (basic underwater demolition/SEAL training) and the resulting process for accomplishing goals he created for himself: decision, rehearsal, letting go, jumping off, and knowing what matters. In this inspiring self-help book, entrepreneur and former Navy SEAL Webb ( The Red Circle) and Mann (coauthor of The Go-Giver) skillfully direct readers on how to harness their fears and accomplish personal goals. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Souvestre fantomas![]() ![]() ![]() This is an ex-library book and may have the usual library/used-book markings inside.This book has soft covers.
