Publisher's Summary

A former Navy SEAL sniper turned media CEO and New York Times best-selling author teaches business leaders how to make the best decisions under pressure.

Over his four deployments as a Navy SEAL sniper, Brandon Webb learned all about performing while experiencing heart-pounding stress. After returning to civilian life, he started his first business venture - and failed miserably. He realized that his big mistake was neglecting to apply what he already knew about focus under pressure. By drawing on the lessons of his SEAL training and early business struggles, Webb went on to build a second business, a media network called Hurricane, which today has an audience of millions and a valuation over $100 million.

Now Webb deconstructs the decision-making DNA of the most effective snipers and shows you how to develop the same mental acuity in civilian life. Drawing on stories from his own experiences and those of other Special Operations warriors and great entrepreneurs, like Solomon Choi of 16 Handles, Matt Meeker of BarkBox, and Betsy Morgan of The Huffington Post and TheBlaze, he teaches you how to have total situational awareness to stay out of danger and adapt to changing circumstances, to avoid the trap of overanalysis, and to understand that pain is temporary and learning is priceless.

By following in the path of a generation of legendary snipers, you'll find the clarity of mind you need to make key decisions and accomplish your mission, whatever it takes.

A real story of life, loss and resilience in business

This will definitely be a go to for clarity and a reminder of how to get things done. The best part is Brandon tells of his go-to’s for the same reason. Great listen.

Great lessons for life and business.

I enjoyed this book, the narration worked well and the content flowed smoothly. I find that a lot of "self help" books are similar, they all have a story from the authors with different lessons from life events, what worked for them.and way didn't and so on, so when I read or listen to these books I always look for 2 or 3 valuable lessons, diamonds in the rough that I can take away and adapt into my life, some books have more, some less but most are tucked away nicely in an experience or story, that's part of the fun. This book for me, had some interesting points that I will take away, the authors stories and life experience made it an enjoyable journey, I always enjoy hearing stories of hitting rock bottom and the rebuild process, or dealing with rumour spreading, negative people, these are real life issues we all can relate to in one way or another. Thank you for a great read, I'm looking forward to your next book.

Fantastic book.

Wanted a book on focus, but by someone who knew what they were talking about. Very glad that I chose this book. Because Brandon says what he means, he is so easy to listen to, and is a pleasure more than a chore. Covers military devision making and also business decision making. Will now download another audible book by Brandon Webb.
