The Force Awakens - Mastering Your Inner Developer
summary
Argues that concrete goal habits produce change: write goals on paper and use SMART goals, set deadlines and measurable milestones. Describes tools and routines used—Pomodoro timers, focused music (Interstellar soundtrack), networking, leverage—and income strategy separating active work from passive streams like Pluralsight courses. Gives concrete life setup: runs three businesses (Crazy Dane Software, a B&B and a used-car business), mentors, organizes meetups and DDD events, owns ~17 cars, spent six to seven years developing this approach, and cites an MBA study where 3% who wrote goals became top earners.
