Review:



"Achieve in 5" is a unique new way of achieving your goals but committing just 5 minutes of your day. I was impressed that I could actually commit to 5 minutes a day and did reach my goal without stressing myself out. A great book that flows nicely that should be on all TBR lists.

I give "Achieve in 5!" a 5 star rating.
