My friend, Barrett Matthews, is one of the most motivated people I know. What I like about Barrett is that he takes personal responsibility to the extreme. In his book, “Why Didn’t You Get It Done?”, he certainly did not hold back.
I am not much of a reader of motivational books, but I like the conversational style and the “in your face” dialogue in Barrett’s book. I don’t think I would ever use an excuse around him.
If you haven’t read his book, here is the Amazon link:

Even if you don’t buy his book, at least read the free preview on Amazon. You will definitely appreciate how and why we should take personal responsibility for our lives. While I have not tried this personally, I think I would force an unmotivated teenager to read this book. This would be a great time for that teenager to change his or her life.
I will be doing an interview with Barrett in August. If you would like to listen in, let us know here and I will be happy to forward you the details.
