"Dreamers dream. Doers execute. Jobless and broke in her early twenties, Kim Perell was a multimillionaire by the time she was 30. Like most entrepreneurs, Perell had good ideas and worked tirelessly to bring them to life. What set her apart? She mastered the "secret" for turning ideas into results and long-term success: Execution. Throughout [this book], Perell demonstrates her process for execution so that anyone, at any stage of their journey, can turn their dreams and ideas into reality. With clarity, sensitivity, and directness, Perell shows execution is not an innate talent but a skill that anyone can learn. The Execution Factor walks you through the process of mastering it--by exploring, honing, and putting to use the five critical traits of every successful entrepreneur: VISION: Developing a crystal clear picture of what you want to achieve; PASSION: Being willing to sacrifice to reach your goal; ACTION: Taking that first step and the next one--no matter what; RESILIENCE: Dealing with obstacles and uncertainty with grace and confidence; RELATIONSHIPS: Having the right people in your life to inspire and share your success. For Perell, it starts with understanding who you are and what you want for your life. Beginning with the author's free online Execution Success Test at kimperell.com (developed to complement the book), you'll learn which of the five traits of execution is your strongest, develop the others, and turn them all into habits to master the skill of execution and achieve success. With The Execution Factor, you have everything you need to transform the way you get things done, and to face and embrace the inevitable challenges, so you can end up in the place you've always wanted to be. Change the course of your career and your life with this smart, proven, powerful guide. Once you've read this book and are ready to execute your vision, Pergell created The Execution Factor Fund to empower entrepreneurs with big ideas to execute their dreams. She has invested $1 million into the fund and is donating all royalties from this book."--Dust jacket.
