Quotes

Knowing what to do is not the hard part, actually doing it is

It’s fundamental to have some sort of system to track your personal development progress

Your environment doesn’t need to crush you to change

There’s a real difference between I failed and I’m a failure

You work towards becoming the ideal version of yourself but never actually achieve it

After years of reading, researching and learning about habit formation, Ben Austin stared connecting the dots and created the framework for Stop.Start.Do.
