Review: Poke the Box: When Was the Last Time You Did Something for the First Time?

Poke the Box: When Was the Last Time You Did Something for the First Time?
Poke the Box: When Was the Last Time You Did Something for the First Time? by Seth Godin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

You have to start in order to finish, but if you don’t finish, you never really started at all. So, start then finish and repeat. Godin’s message is astoundingly simple. Don’t wait to get picked. Don’t wait for permission. Don’t wait to be asked. Go ahead and start.

This is a stimulating read though I warn you that it will unmask your many excuses for not doing. He writes just broadly and generally enough that the applications are vast. Yet, he is specific enough to be understandable and to hit home. I recommend reading it, supplying your own context, and then starting.
