The Lifelong Project

As a project manager and small business owner this book is a must read. Ive spent my entire career applying project management techniques to transform business operations and improve business productivity. It never occurred to me that I could apply these same techniques for identifying, managing and achieving personal and entrepreneurial goals. Since reading the Lifelong Project, Ive been using techniques described in this book to: * Manage a home addition project * Plan and execute a family reunion * Teach my daughter how to swim * Mange a new business venture The applications are limitless, and my personal productivity has increased significantly. The Lifelong Project enables personal success! Pick up a copy and start living!

Good book, really made me think about the way I have been approaching challenging tasks... now I approach projects very differentl..... and definitely worth the price!

I thought this would be the PMPBOK for life management. But this was authors life story + PMBOK. Might be a great gift for someone you want to introduce project management , or the PMP exam. This book will get them interested in both . But for someone who knows PMBOK and PMP this felt like a repetitive grind. I applaud the authors effort , but the target customer for this product is not me , may be the title of the book has to be changed.

This is a superb book, and the author should get an award for it. The book takes the reader through a project where the project is the readers life in a year. What project is more important? Along the way you create a project binder with various documents in it. Going through that process is challenging and revealing. This book would be great for high-school, college, graduate, and professional level courses on project management, and also other fields like logic, self-help, financial planning, and logistics.

Here is a book that is worth picking up. Mr. Phillips has created a think/take action book. ROI comes back early with this one. Believing in yourself is half the battle - the other half is this book. It helps you not only to get started on your path but helps you execute to completion. You can take his principles and apply to everyday life to make things happen. I myself have a project in place that was one that I found I could not get moving on until the tools were placed before me. Learning to plot things out to achieve a goal. MAGNIFICENT!

Mr. Phillips has written a practical how-to guide for getting things--any things--done. Hes absolutely correct when he states that its not about goal setting but goal achieving. Each chapter not only provides practical advice on how to complete your goals but also includes hands-on exercises to step you closer and closer to your personal finish line. The beauty of The Lifelong Project is that its principles apply to any project, whether youre creating a computer program, getting a new job, losing weight, planning a vacation, completing a degree, or building a birdhouse. If its important to you, it deserves your attention, and Mr. Phillips guidelines provide an easy, step-by-step process for completion. He even insists that one of the last steps is to celebrate your completion! This book is perfect for anyone, no matter what age or status in life. If youve been meaning to get around to that one thing youve always wanted but never seemed to have the time to do, The Lifelong Project can help you start and, more importantly, complete it.
