In his years as a professional ice-skater, Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton learned to embrace the mind-set of working hard to “beat” the competition. But it seems competition has gotten a bad rap these days. We’ve bought into the belief that it is unfair to participants to rank performance. Yet competition is in fact a good thing because it’s about working toward excellence. Finish First is a wake-up call for business leaders, entrepreneurs, spouses, parents, and even students to stop settling for mediocre and begin to revitalize their intrinsic will to achieve excellence and go for the win. Most of us feel we were made for something more, but we’re often afraid to allow ourselves to be competitive because we think our finishing first might somehow rob others of their chance to shine. This book encourages the hidden potential, the champion within all of us, to come out—which eventually brings our family, marriage, career, business, and the world around us the greatest possible good. You’ll never be able to finish what you’ve started working on if you’re too much of a perfectionist, as you’ll spend your time thinking it’s not quite right. Just not quite perfect. I kept hoping that this book would move past the Jan Yager infomercial/basic information stages and finally get to some real solid tips. It never did. So while I'm happy to report that I DID finally finish this audiobook - I can't say that anything I heard here will help me in the real world.
