Matthew McConaughey's Greenlights uses traffic lights as a metaphor for momentum: when you're prepared, opportunities flow. Andy Neary argues that simple habits like planning the night before create the conditions for success, and asks whether you're doing the same for your business.

Chapters

Are you preparing yourself for success? I think one of the most underutilized books on professional development in the market today is Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. Yes, I've got a man crush on the guy, but this is not just a memoir of his life. This is a book filled with business and life lessons. And one of the most underutilized lessons in this book is the concept of greenlights. Think about that day you're driving down the highway and you hit one green light after another and it just feels easy. That's what it's like when you prepare for success. You create green lights. God creates green lights for those who are prepared. When you set your coffee up the night before, so when you get up, all you gotta do is hit the button. When you plan tomorrow the night before and all you gotta do is get up and execute. That's what it's like to prepare for success. Green lights. My question for you is, are you doing the same with your business?
