Experience less stress and more well-being while doing work that's worth it. Let's go!
Onward.
“Reading books about meditation does not make me a better meditator and the same goes for just about everything I'd like to get better at. The thing many of us miss is that we have to do the work. It is impossible to read Onward and not do the work and that's what's beautiful about it. And if there is a better time to do this work then I'd like to know when that might be. It's now! These days many of us feel like we're walking in waist-deep pandemic mud trying to find our way Onward. Please read this book and do the work. It's thin and Zen - not one word is wasted.” Shawn Askinosie, Founder and CEO at Askinosie Chocolate

About the author

I’m a husband, father, and grandfather who goes for a cemetery run everyday and quotes Marcus Aurelius more often than I should.
I leveraged a five-year contract as head coach at Akimbo Workshops to transition from a 25-year career as a professional guitarist to a new career as a solopreneur cornerman.
Now I help other purpose-driven solopreneurs build a fulfilling and prosperous business on their terms that funds and fits their ideal lifestyle.

Onward, indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breaking down big and scary ideas into realistic and manageable steps
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book changed the way I thought about a project from being too much to handle and self-doubting my abilities, to a posture of curiosity and exploration. It allowed me to see that I am here to give and let go of outcomes I have little control over. And start focusing on the things I can control and consider the learning opportunities - because that’s where possibility resides - in what we don’t know… yet. Thank you Scott, for all you give.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the must-have handbook for any change maker
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseIt is a quick to read book on principles and practices to live a more meaningful live and to create a legacy.
The concepts are clearly laid-out, it is fuss-free, and thought-provoking.
It is an actionable handbook and I'm glad that I did get a physical copy because I will definitely come back to it again and again, whenever I feel stuck in my endeavour.
I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, straight and effective
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI have read this book twice now. I skimmed fast the first time around. Then a deeper read for self (and for my Book club review). Small bite-sized chapters and every section with a "DO" wrapper. Scott speaks from the heart and One point that keeps resonating with me is <excerpt from the book>: "Anxiety often points us in the very direction we need to go . Resistance is a wayfinder . Fear is a compass . Seek and embrace fear." The other key message is "Get your WHO right". When we surround ourselves with the right people, creativity, growth and goodness follows. Thank you Scott. Folks, pick up a copy today - and share it with your "Who" circle.
