We think of achievement, well, you know, in business or, you know, in your regular life, I think it's even more important, personally.
You became a better father.
You became a better mom.
But it's the same tools that are going to get you there, the tools that we're talking about in business.
That's why I think the book is, it's one of those unusual books that it is a business book and it is a self-help book.
Yep, yep, yep.
Well, every book, what it's about is, for me, not all writers do this, but I start out with a long outline.
When I started the Alice Cross series, I wanted to make sure I got it right if I could.
I wound up writing a 320-page outline.
And that's where the short chapters came from.
And every book that I do, it's about refining.
When Patrick and I did Disrupt Everything, it was about refining.
We kept refining.
We kept doing it over and over and over again.
James Clear, when he talks about atomic habits, it took him years to write that.
He kept refining, refining, refining, making it better, fixing it.
As I said, we added a lot on families to the book when we realized that that was so important.
And this book is relevant to families.
extremely relevant to families, maybe more important for a lot of people to their families than the work part of it is.
During COVID, you're stuck in a house a lot, obviously, and I wasn't going to do this in a million years, but I started writing an autobiography, and I just started writing down story after story after story.
