Useful comprehensible input

This audiobook is well-organized overall. Listening to it without the accompanying PDF works almost as well as combining the two. The stories are short, and for the most part, easy to understand. Each one has a follow-up summary, a vocabulary review, and a brief quiz. This last part is not as useful unless you have the PDF in hand. Some people might find it challenging to keep in memory the options needed to answer the questions. If you're someone who listens while driving, it can be a bit more of a distraction. I have two suggestions for the creators: Make the cover images more distinguishable from each other. It is difficult to determine if this is the beginner 1 or 2 book. Consider adding the number after the subtitle (also in red.) If at all possible, give titles to the audio files. This will make it easier for the listener to revisit specific stories.

Simple and effective tools anyone can use.

Revisado: 04-11-19

Now I understand where BJ Fogg got his ideas for Tiny Habits. Both resources are great. This audio includes excerpts of actual training sessions, which I enjoyed hearing. The energy was engaging.

Useful information, but repetitive

Revisado: 08-17-16

This is a quick listen and includes a lot of great information, but if you haven't seen his 10 minute video about this topic, then you should; you'll get the highpoints without the repetition.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. His narration style is easy to listen to and energetic. It would be nice if a resource list (downloadable PDF) was available for the books and websites he mentions throughout, but especially at the end, of the book.

Loved this course!

Revisado: 06-17-16

There's so much great information I'm going to have to listen, again! I enjoyed the narrator's style because I felt like I was in a lecture hall listening to a real professor with all of his/her quirks. I already checked out his website and it's filled with awesone content.

Great marketing primer!

Revisado: 06-15-16

**I received the audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Oftentimes, entrepreneurs dive in and hit the ground running, but don't always take time to create a real marketing effort. That's where "PROPEL" can help!

As a business owner with 13 years of experience in my field, I found the information useful and actionable. Ms. Keyes reminded me of the activities I'd intended to implement, but allowed to slip away because of other priorities, or my lack of desire (or money) to truly engage the marketing piece of my business. Her passion for marketing inspired me to take another look at what I've neglected to do, but will now explore with fresh eyes. She also reminded me of the usefulness of conducting a SWOT analysis, for instance (formally breaking down your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats makes sense, but I know I was too busy to worry about each one of those steps when I started my business! I focused on the last two and assumed I knew the first two. Now, after several years, I know differently.)

Being a solo entrepreneur can be overwhelming (which is how some things get pushed down the "to do" list) but Ms. Keyes understands this, and offers reasonable ideas and suggestions about collaboration with others, including competitors. She also knows that budding entrepreneurs, and frugal ones like me, either don't have money for marketing, or don't want to spend thousands of dollars on marketing, so she offers examples of how other business owners, in similar positions, accomplished their goals.

Because I enjoyed the author's insights and knowledge on the subject of marketing, I plan to purchase the print edition of "Propel." She references charts, etc. and each chapter concludes with a "wrap-up" and action steps. Audiobooks aren't great for this sort of thing since chapters aren't labeled for easy reference after listening. (This is true for every audiobook I've listened to, so this has nothing to do with Ms. Keyes' book.)

If you're looking for a marketing guidebook that's a quick read/listen, and filled with activities you'll actually do for your business, then check out PROPEL. It's a "one-stop shop" for marketing newbies, and solopreneurs who want a better and more concise understanding of marketing, advertising, branding, logos, SWOT analysis, vision vs. mission statements, and more. Sure, other people (Covey, whom she references, for example) have discussed some of these, but it's nice having everything you need to actually know about marketing in one book.

One of my favorite habit formation books!

Revisado: 12-30-15

Any additional comments?

I LOVED listening to this book. It's my second favorite after Duhigg's "The Power of Habit." I'd already begun implementing tiny habits, but the ideas in this book took that to a whole new level. Now I make my habits "stupid small." They're so small that failure isn't an option. I transitioned one of my tiny exercise habits (ones that take 30 seconds or less and are anchored to an exhisting habit) into a minimum of 10 minutes daily. With the info from this book, I've successfully done this for at least three months (I lost track of when I officially started because I'm using a dry erase calender. It's probably slightly longer.) Something about the author giving me permission to make my habits ridiculously small has worked for me. He also gets into willpower and why motivation isn't enough to keep our habits going. It's a book I'll listen to over and over.

Great addition to my habit formation library

Revisado: 12-30-15

Any additional comments?

Part science; part practical application. This is one of those books I can listen to over and over again. And I will!

A good addition to your habit formation library

Revisado: 12-30-15

Any additional comments?

I've spent several months finding, reading/listening to every book I can find about habit formation. Some are rich with science to back up why habit formation is at the core of who we are. Others, like this one, are practical, down-to-earth and easy to digest.
