In "Start," Jon Acuff offers an invigorating call to arms for anyone looking to break free from the stagnation of the average and embark on a journey towards the extraordinary. With a blend of humor, wisdom, and actionable advice, Acuff dismantles the traditional roadmap to success that has guided generations, arguing that the landscape of achievement has radically altered. The advent of technology, the shifting economic promises to baby boomers, and a new cultural valuation of significance over mere success have created unprecedented opportunities for individuals willing to brave the path of greatness. Acuff's guide is more than just motivational; it is a strategic playbook for accelerating through the stages of personal and professional development. Rejecting the notion that greatness is a destination for the select few, "Start" demonstrates that the only division between the average and the awesome is the courage to begin. Through engaging stories and practical steps, this book equips readers to embrace fear, sidestep inertia, and realize the work that matters most to them. For anyone standing at the crossroads of life, undecided whether to play it safe or dive into the depths of their potential, "Start" is the push needed to leap towards the extraordinary.

You don't need to go back in time to be awesome; you just have to start right now. Regretting that you didn't start earlier is a great distraction from moving on your dream today, and the reality is that today is earlier than tomorrow.
— Jon Acuff, Start.
