Reviews
“An instant classic, essential reading for anyone who wants to make a ruckus.”
— Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception
“Sam Bennett is refreshing in her positivity and achieves something rare — a how-to book that is funny and entertaining to read, and makes you feel good! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must go write an Oscar-winning screenplay. Or clean my room. One of the two — I’ll figure it out.”
— Rachel Dratch, actor, Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock
“As someone who is both organized and an artist, I can supremely recommend this innovative, effective, wildly enjoyable book. You will easily ‘get it done’ with your focused genius and all that you’ll learn and experience in these pages and in your life.”
— SARK, artist and author of Glad No Matter What
“If you need help getting things done (and who doesn’t?) this book, written with love and passion, will help you.”
— Ed O’Neill, actor, Modern Family and Married with Children
“Calling all artists! Are procrastination and perfectionism getting in the way of your sharing your creative gifts with the world? Through small, doable steps, Get It Done will help you make your big ideas real.”
— Jennifer Lee, author of The Right-Brain Business Plan
