All entrepreneurs understand what its like to hit a wall, to tire out and need to find a fresh source of motivation so they can finish the race. In Built to Finish: How to Go the Distance in Business and Life (Greenleaf Book Group Press, Jan. 30, 2024), Steven Pivnik provides that motivation by sharing the lessons hes learned along the way from being a couch potato and college dropout to becoming a successful serial entrepreneur, speaker, and accomplished IRONMAN athlete
In Built to Finish, Steven shares how:
- Embracing the grind of work and life allows you to finish the race
- Showing up rather than slowing down builds endurance
- To pace yourself on and off the track to avoid overtraining syndrome
- You can make your own luck through hard work and good decisions
Built to Finish shows that when you tap into all of your strengths and experiences, there will be nothing in your way to keep you from achieving your goals. I have lived a limitless life, one that recognizes that you can accomplish nearly anything, even miracles, because anything is possible if you believe and desire it enough, says Pivnik.
I appreciate a great story about adversity and transformation. Steven's journey from couch potato and college dropout to uber successful entrepreneur and IRONMAN World Championship competitor is very inspiring. His lessons learned and key takeaways should be heeded by anyone aspiring to mount a similar journey. This is a fast-paced, inspirational, and educational read. I highly recommend it.
Joanna Lohman, keynote speaker, former professional soccer player and member of the United States Womens National Team, and author of Raising Tomorrow's Champions
"A lot of business books teach the why of improvement, but few get into the how. Anyone who knows about elite athletes knows they must be focused on the how, and that's what Built To Finish delivers. Steven walks entrepreneurs and business owners through his own journey of scaling the heights of business and elite fitness to show us how we can be our own version of 'elite' in our lives and businesses. Highly recommended."
Shawn Rhodes, chief sales sergeant of Bulletproof Selling, keynote speaker, and author of Bulletproof Selling
