Before You Begin: How To Focus On What Matters and Get the Life You Want

Do you fear you'll never do anything worthwhile?

 

Let Before You Begin be your guide to change the way you are currently engaging the world, so you can experience different results. Results that align with what matters most to you. When you apply Compass Form, this book's simple framework, you learn to navigate uncertainty, settle on a decision, and, when necessary, adjust course to stay in alignment with what matters most to you.

 

Compass Form is about isolating decisions, so you address them specifically and clear some of the chaos that comes with trying to make many decisions at once or trying to make the "perfect" decision. Since life is ambiguous and chaotic, it isn't about predicting the future. The skill you build with Before You Begin is learning how to quickly make sense of the chaos and being content with the best decision possible given the reality of your circumstances. That's what you'll learn to do in this book through its:

 

  • Example scenarios
  • Depictions of real people applying Compass Form
  • Reflection questions
  • Practical application activities

 

Get out of stagnation and frustration, and start making real progress towards what matters most to you with Before You Begin.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

“Jacob has walked with me through some of the most trying times in my life. As a coach, he compassionately challenged me to persevere while providing support when those days arose that felt insurmountable. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Jacob’s guidance. I have told my family and friends—if you want to reevaluate where you are, take a step in the right direction, or just aren’t sure what the future may bring, schedule time with Jacob and make him part of your success plan.”

—Tyler Dunphy, Senior Director, TPx Communications, Maine

“Without Jacob, the six-figure success we experienced in our first year of business would not have been possible. His methods are practical, his advice is actionable, and his approach is personable. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

—Tanner Campbell, Owner of The Portland Pod, Maine

“Jacob has shown me the reality of what it takes to fully own oneself and the disconnect between what we think is true versus reality. By using the Compass Form framework, I have been able to tap into a big piece of my life that I thought had been abandoned. Jacob shows you that change is possible when you search for the TRUTH.”

—Scott Allan, Bestselling author of Fail Big and Undefeated

“How do I get unstuck? I’ve been asked that question many times in 22 years of ministry. The next time I’m asked that question, I’m giving that person this book.”

—A. A. Dicks, Jr., Senior Pastor of Mount Zion Church, SC

“Jacob’s coaching came at crucial cross-roads in my life, both professionally and personally. His patient and thoughtful process along with his ability to help me get to the root of ‘me’ has been invaluable to my life. Within a very short time, my increased production paid for his services ten-fold. Both my wife and I are very thankful for Jacob’s help in focusing me on what’s really important. Thanks Jacob, for making me more profitable in every sense of the word.”

—Jon Taylor, National Sales and Training Director, CU Certified Automotive, Maine

At a crucial time in my business, Jacob led me on a path to really search within to focus on what matters most in my life. His approach helped save time, money, and most importantly, helped me be a better husband, father, and person.

—Dr. Mitchell Vance, Owner of Body Back Chiropractic and Physiotherapy, Maine

“Jacob, I see now how I had never stopped to observe how I was making decisions for my business. With your guidance I came to see I’d been investing in too many places to try and produce growth. In learning from our coaching around Compass Form, I came to see that there were better uses of my time and energy that didn’t cost me any money and built word-of-mouth referrals. Since then, I have more clients than I can handle myself and have brought on board a salaried employee. Thanks for providing this insight and tool for me to use and simplify life.”

—Victor Rios, Owner of Expose Design, Maine
