Goal-Getter, Not Just Goal-Setter

Genre: Personal Development and Success
Premise: "Execution trumps intention—finish what you start." (Book Details row 35)
Brief Synopsis:
Goal-Getter, Not Just Goal-Setter calls out the toxic delusion of "setting goals" without shipping results. This book shatters the myth that vision boards and productivity apps equal progress, offering a ruthless execution blueprint for turning aspirations into outcomes. At its core is the Completion Code, a three-phase method:

1. Reverse-Engineered Deadlines: Start with the end and map irreversible steps. Learn from a Pulitzer-winning novelist who wrote 10 pages daily for 100 days by breaking her book into “nonnegotiable micro-sessions.”
2. Procrastination Autopsy: Diagnose why you stall—e.g., a tech founder discovered his fear of success (linked to immigrant parent trauma) and launched a $50M app post-diagnosis.
3. Accountability Alchemy: Convert promises into contracts. Tools include Progress NFTs (track milestones on blockchain) and Ego Escrow (donate to a hated cause if goals fail).

Through raw case studies:

• A debt-ridden mom paid off $120K in 18 months using Inverted Goals (publicly posting failures weekly to fuel momentum).
• A fitness coach turned Ironman at 60 by adopting Micro-Wins Journals (tracking 1% daily improvements).

Packed with Execution Accelerators:

• The Momentum Matrix: Rank goals by "ease of action" vs. impact.
• Completion Blueprint: Break projects into sub-five-minute tasks.
• Rewire Rituals: Replace “I’ll try” with “I ship” language.

For readers tired of New Year’s resolutions collecting dust, Goal-Getter delivers this truth: Goals are paper tigers—execution is the hunter.
Target Audience: Chronic procrastinators, ambitious dreamers, goal-setting optimists who struggle with follow-through.
Approximate Book Length: 68,000 words
Why It’s a Bestseller:
Cultural Crisis: 92% of people abandon goals within a month (Gallup, 2025). This book weaponizes neuroscience to fix the “intention-action gap.”

Cross-Industry Relatability: Case studies span writers, athletes, CEOs, and artists, proving execution > aesthetics.
Science-Backed: Merges Stanford’s “action trigger” research with Navy SEALs’ “embrace the suck” philosophy.
