There's just too much to do!!! There is a lot to do. There is a lot to do at home or at work. Sometimes it just feels overwhelming. Don't you wish you could be more productive? The Special Forces Green Berets are known as masters at getting things done. By normal standards, some of their missions would be deemed impossible. Often times they are expected to operate far behind enemy lines with limited resources. Their training gives them principles and techniques in being extremely effective and doing more with less. By using some of their principles you will be able to: – Plan and use your time more effectively – Increase your confidence – Reduce distractions – Train for success – Improve commitment – and much more. Michael Martel uses his real experiences as a Green Beret to illustrate how you can use these techniques in your life to "get er done." It is a great, interesting read that will make you much more effective in your daily activities.

Hello, I don’t often review books although I read many of them. This book was great because their was no fluff. It took 30 to 45 minutes to read, and everything was applicable to life, especially if you use a little creativity. I have read mostly psychology books and everything in here fit right in with what I know about psychology and neuroplasticity, but there was no explanation as to why it works in the book. I guess there is no need to explain why it works if it works, especially in an organization such as the military, where efficiency is key, and there is no room for theory. Great value, especially the kindle edition. I thought the title was cheesy, “get er done”, but I was pleasantly surprised, the book gets er done…quickly

Get Er Done
September 9, 2011
By MSEreads "mesreads"
A fast read for good leadership tips!
This is an example of good things coming in small packages. The author covers principles that include Backward Planning, Reducing Distractions (which includes more than the obvious), Muscle Memory, Point of No Return, Be a Trained Observer and more. The methods presented can assist with the skills bulleted in the blurb description.
Many of the principles can work for any business from small, like my own, to larger companies and projects. The Backward Planning makes great sense for meeting project deadlines. It is a system I sort of used in the past but now will use even more. Also I can see good uses for the muscle memory… practice, practice and practice.
I particularly think that the tips on observation apply to any relationship and every situation. I also liked The Commander’s Intent which acknowledges that the commander is ultimately responsible for success or failure. It also says that the Commander identifies the desired result but the team can use their basic training or imaginative contingencies to complete the mission. I recognize that sometimes I am obsessive in my own routines – that fits for the muscle memory. But when I train others I try to be more flexible. I say “This is how I do it because these steps work for me. But if you can set up a system that works better for you, then that is acceptable, as long as you get the desired results.” I love the statement: “adapt, improvise and overcome.”
One or two areas I didn’t think would help a very small office but the principles are still sound. I definitely recommend this book as a useful tool for leaders in business or organizations.

A Great Road Map for Success
June 13, 2011
By S. Michael Edwards
Michael’s book, “Get Er Done: The Green Beret Guide to Productivity” is exactly that – a guide or road map to productivity and success. Michael lays out the formula for success and with the basis of the Green Beret’s tried and true methodology, it makes a great read with sound principles. I love how it applies to not only business but to my personal life as well. I have created my own A-Team (we call it The Band Of Brothers Master Mind group), and have seen huge success. I highly recommend this book!

Wow! What a great book. Mr. Martel has a hit on his hands. When I picked up Get er Done I read it straight through. Then I gave it to my son-in-law who never reads anything and he read it through in one night. The mix of real life stories coupled with straight on leadership principles is a must read for everyone. Well done!
