Get out of your own way and bring your ideas to life! Exactly Where
to Start is a playbook for everyone with a great idea, everyone
with a goal in mind, and everyone with a specific destination but
no journey. We've been told all our lives that "good things come to
those who wait"--but that's a myth. Good things come to those who
do. Too often, we get stuck in the "getting ready" stage: research,
analysis, brainstorming, and more research; we feel like we need to
know everything there is to know about what we want to do before we
ever take the first steps. Meanwhile, the people who actually go
out and do the thing are taking risks, learning lessons, and making
strides toward their goals every single day. Isn't it time you
joined them? This book coaches you through the journey with
precise, actionable steps that help you take that all-important
first leap and keep the momentum going. Discard the distractions,
break through the overwhelm, and get going for real with this
real-world blueprint for turning your vision into reality. Snap
yourself out of "analysis paralysis" Stop thinking you need to know
everything before you even begin Make those big decisions and focus
in on your goals Chart your journey's path, and get up and get
started today Many of us have fallen into a trap: we no longer
believe that "anything is possible", yet we are surrounded by proof
that everything is possible! But we are distracted, harried,
overwhelmed, and maybe a little intimidated. Our dreams remain
forever in limbo, and we may go to our graves before we venture
beyond the "planning stage". Don't let that happen--don't you
deserve to realize your goals? Exactly Where to Start gives you the
kick in the pants and the practical plan you need to stand up, step
up, and make it happen.
This is a study of rural society, with particular reference to the peasantry. It focuses on an area of France which is defined as the southern Massif Central, the four departments forming the southern perimeter of the highland plateau of central France, and spans a century which marked the apogee of peasant civilisation in this region and which witnessed the revolutions of 1789 and 1848. The book adopts a broadly cultural definition of the peasantry, and offers a comprehensive account of the rhythms of rural life over some three or four generations. However, the main emphasis is on the political responses of the peasantry in an age of revolutionary experimentation with democratic institutions. As such the book is a social history of political behaviour at the grass roots.
This book fills a gap in the literature on the French Revolution,
and offers a synthesis which brings together the fruits of two
generations' research in the field of French rural and agrarian
history. The contention of Georges Lefebvre (the greatest authority
on eighteenth-century rural history) that the peasantry occupied
the centre-stage during the early years of the Revolution is
vindicated with the support of fresh evidence culled from local and
national archives, unpublished theses and little-known printed
sources. Lefebvre's subsidiary argument, that peasant participation
in the Revolution ran counter to its main capitalist thrust,
receives a more qualified endorsement. The hook also offers a
comprehensive survey of the fortunes of country dwellers from the
end of the ancien regime until the advent of Napoleon. Chapters are
arranged both chronologically and thematically to provide a
complete history of the Revolution as experienced at 'grass-roots'.
