"Build a Better Life - One Habit at a Time"

Getting more from life doesn't mean following the latest diet craze or motivation program. True success happens when you take action on a daily basis. In other words, it's your habits that help you achieve goals and live the life you've always wanted.

In his books, S.J. provides daily action plans for every area of your life: health, fitness, work and personal relationships. Unlike other personal development guides, his content focuses on taking action. So instead of reading over-hyped strategies that rarely work in the real-world, you'll get information that can be immediately implemented.

When not writing, S.J. likes to read, exercise and explore the different parts of the world

    5.0 out of 5 stars I've Already Started Implementing This System
    Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2014

    First, this isn't the first book by S.J. Scott that I've read nor will it be the last. S.J. is a master at distilling usable information into a form that readers can ingest and implement in as little as an hour.

    I have to admit that I'm not that great at writing down goals or in assessing or revisiting them over a period of time. My basic approach is to make a vague goal and then start moving in that general direction. Using the information in this book, I actually got out a notebook and made a list of the things I want to accomplish over the next three months; then I started breaking down those goals into actionable steps I could take to achieve my goals by my deadline.Breaking down a big goal into small chunks is going to make my goals - not only business but health - so much easier to achieve.

    If I had to pick out one thing I like best about this book (other than the great information) is that S.J. gave many real-world examples of each step. That alone made it easy for me to really understand how best to put my goals into action. One more thing - I also like the examples of taking a big goal and the steps needed to get from point A to point B and then Point C and so forth.

    I'm a big fan of this author (love his book on walking 10,000 steps) - and wish I could have given the book even more than 5 stars. It really cleared away many of my goal-setting cobwebs.

    As a business owner and entrepreneur goal setting skills are life or death for me.

    I have read over 10 top authority books on goal setting. This is one of the bests, here's why:

    * Its really easy to read.
    * Goes right to the point.
    * It presents you with a very simple yet massively effective process you can always use to x10 your chances of meeting your goals.

    Personally will be using his exact process (and secrets) to reach my own life and business goals.

    Thanks to Mr. S.J.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely what I needed
    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I found this book extremely helpful. I.like the organized approach he has outlined. I bought it and read it for kindle but today I ordered the paperback. It will be a constant reference book as goal setting has become a major part of my life with the new position I have moved into. SMART goals are not a new concept for me but Scott has filled in the blanks on a real approach to set SMART goals effectively. I read his book 23 Anti-procrastination Habits first and found it right on target for helping me get jump-started on these new efforts. I am now a bona fide SJ Scott fan.
    Oh, and one more note about SJ Scott's books - they are "clean" as in no typos and incorrect grammar like so many of these e-books have. I really appreciate that. Makes for a smooth read where you can focus on content not be stumbling over errors.

    Reading it while relocating to another state. Reading it to get my life back on track after two-years of chaos. Reading it to make a positive fresh start in our new location. Reading it section by section with notebook in hand chewing on every bite...like eating an elephant one bite at a time,"

    S.J. Scott presents well know information step-by-step. His method makes reviewing things easier to swallow and actually apply it to my life. His suggestions are practical (aka doable). His visualization process has me swishing the ideas in my thoughts, formulating my dreams into step-by-step goals.

    This is NOT a read-through-in-a-few-days book. It is a plan. It is a workbook with assignments. Success comes through applying it piece by piece, bite by bite, not by osmosis.

    I'm excited to live my S.M.A.R.T. goals to become the best me.
