Have you got an itch to start your own business, go to the North Pole, retrain, lose weight, get promoted, learn to play the ukulele? Or do you just have a nagging sense that there must be more to life? If there is something you really want to do, but secretly fear you’ll never do it, then you need this.
This is your kick in the pants.
To make your thing happen, you have to climb into the ring. You have to face your fears and move from talking to doing.
Of course, it’s right and natural to have fears, but understanding them will keep you on top. And then you’ll find that starting can instantly make things change. So say farewell to the status quo.
And that’s the trick, you see. Simply start somewhere. Anywhere. But do it now. For those working for others or for themselves, for those in love or out of love, for those who are artistic or scientific, the busy and the clock-watchers… but mostly for those with ambition: This is what you need to start.
Waiting is futile. Starting is progress.
“To achieve anything in life you have to start somewhere, be it writing a book, starting a business or climbing a mountain, this book will set you on your way.” SIR RANULPH FIENNES OBE, The World’s Greatest Living Explorer
“Sháá embraces fear without regret and through this book convincingly urges others to as well.” SIR JAMES DYSON, Inventor and Industrial Designer
“This is a great book; straightforward and to the point. To achieve the goals you set yourself, you have to take action and this book will help you do just that.” DEBORAH MEADEN, Entrepreneur and Investor
“A superb book that has the power to change your life.” ROBIN SHARMA, #1 bestselling Author of The Leader Who Had No Title and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
“Clever, quick, easy to read and fun.” BRAD FELD, MD Foundry Group, Tech Stars founder and Co-Author of Do More Faster and Venture Deals
“Life doesn’t come to you – you have to go and find it. Sháá Wasmund has never sat back in her life and here she shares that infectious energy in such a way you can’t help but catch the success bug.” EVELYN WEBSTER, Executive Vice President, Lifestyle Group, TimeInc

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
