Charlie Gilkey, the author of Start Finishing, is an expert in how to get things done and most importantly, finishing projects. We are good at starting things, not great at seeing them through to an agreed outcome. So how do you start to finish what you started? Charlie's book Start Finishing presents a 9-step method for converting an idea into a project by addressing the challenges we will face and how to get the project on a reality-based schedule to completion.
