Publisher's summary

What if you could have a fulfilling career, a thriving marriage, strong friendships, and rewarding hobbies, all while being in the best shape of your life? What if every day you lived was better than the one before? What if tapping into your potential wasn't as hard as you think?

According to New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff, it might not be. In fact, All It Takes Is a Goal. In his ninth book, he shows you how to plan goals that you're guaranteed to reach by focusing on your best moments, navigating the three zones of performance, and finding ways to fuel your passions, all while actually enjoying the ride.

Sound too good to be true? Jon thought so too. Until it happened—again and again—for him and the hundreds of real people in his research project. Whether your goals are personal, relational, or career-driven, the key to a better future is closer than you think.

Critic reviews

"Productivity expert Jon Acuff narrates his latest audiobook with spontaneity and energy that are absolutely infectious. Part of what makes him connect so strongly with his audience is his frequent use of off-script asides and personal stories--what he calls 'bonus content.' These impromptu comments, delivered enthusiastically, never fail to energize and entertain." (AudioFile)

Best Book on Goals I've Come Across

The book is a must listen to book and it will help you understand how to go from easy goals to guaranteed goals by focusing on simple daily tasks like completing an action tracker.

“If you put in real effort, the results are math, not a miracle.” -Jon Acuff

Jon Acuff's “Best Moments List” activity taught me that the best moments in my life took real work and started off with small daily and weekly actions that resulted in success over time.

Acuff’s narration and special “audiobook only” content is priceless. I caught myself laughing out loud as I listened to some of the examples he shared, and I know that his lessons will stick with me because of his sense of humor!

thank you for you advices

Great book, 1 of my favorite authors enjoyed losing the book and also learning thank you, and also laugh also a bonus thanks.

Great audio book!!

Jon did an awesome job capturing so many stories and examples of meeting goals! Great inflection and energy in his narration!

Another good one

It is not often that an audio book is better than the paperback, but when you have the author (a professional public speaker) reading it, that's what you get. Jon is the man, so glad to have been able to hear him speak in San Antonio last year, and then listen to his books. Two thumbs up!

Add doable action to goals and track it

Love Jon’s enthusiasm and actionable ideas. His life examples help me make the info doable and unforgettable.

Hits you right where you are!

Once again, Jon hit me right between the eyes and in the heart with this one. His humor and well-crafted ideas become increasingly more relevant to my life the older I get. Homerun, A+, thoroughly enjoyed this, and I’m motivated to find and stay in the potential zone!

A great listen!

Jon brings his sense of humour and experience and delivers a book that actually has a sensible and effective method of achieving a goal. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Where has this book been all my life?

Jon is every bit as engaging reading the audio version of his book as he is on his podcast! Too many gold nuggets to list individually, so I strongly suggest you read it… then set those goals! You won’t be sorry!

Great Stuff

Jon puts into words what so many cannot. He makes talking about goals fun and engaging. I'm a fan for life.

As always Excellent

This one is about creating momentum towards accomplishing goals.

I am coming away from it with a desire to be more intentional in repeat activities that work towards a larger goal (what he calls “middle goals”)

And

To intentionally build in “easy goals” into my days to salvage the feeling of “ehhhh” that comes with a day that got hijacked by a big project.
I always come away from Jon’s books smiling and grateful that I get to share the earth with him and his work.
