How to put Real Progress
into Practice

​Dear Reader,​

When I wrote my book Real Progress, I didn't want it to feel like a light read you browse front-to-back. Instead, I wanted it to feel dense. Dense with practical knowledge.

I couldn't finish more than two pages in a row of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. Every two pages brought a new insight, nugget, or practical tip that I wanted to capture or try out immediately. That was the ambition I had for my book as well, and I drew inspiration from classics on my bookshelf, like Testing Business Ideas or Ego Is the Enemy.

But I knew that text and graphics alone might not be enough for people to put these ideas into practice. That's why I have added a set of powerful templates and resources for readers of the book.
