Get Out the Door
David Hollingsworth
How To Overcome Obstacles On The Road To High Performance
“You’ve been in an accident. We’re taking you to the hospital.”
Words none of us ever want to hear. And yet in one afternoon my life changed forever. My
motorcycle accident sent me on a journey of discovery with the ultimate goal to Get Out The Door! My journey may be unique to me, but I believe our stories are similar, and we all want to go to places we’ve never been. We all want to achieve things when others may doubt our ability or commitment. We all run into obstacles or setbacks that make us wonder if the goal is worth it. The path to your goals is rarely a straight line. It’s full of obstacles, naysayers, left turns, and self-doubt. This book is about getting started on the road to high performance. After all, every journey begins with the first step.
