About this listen

Ordinary people + everyday habits = extraordinary results.

How does a 'normal bloke from Plymouth' achieve more success than he could ever have dreamed? By becoming a Routine Machine. This book will show you how you can follow a simple, everyday plan to achieve your goals without requiring superhuman effort or natural-born talent.

In this book you will learn:

  • Why morning routines don’t need to start at 5 a.m.
  • The one routine that makes everything else easier
  • How '90s TV show Gladiators can cure your procrastination
  • Why John goes dog walking with Arnold Schwarzenegger
  • Plus insights from other Routine Machines, including Rik Mayall, Warren Buffett, Sir Richard Branson, Hulk Hogan, John Lennon, Stephen King, Sir Bradley Wiggins and the 1993/94 Plymouth Argyle squad

Excellent book for organising yourself, this book has helped me see what needs to be done.

Great Book for getting your Life In Order

Great first 60%. That needs repeating as it was so great. GREAT FIRST 60%. Last 40% was too much story. Also the bit about routine, discipline and freedom to do what you want near the end needed better structure and more examples. As in almost every book, near the end correlation is assumed to be causation. However it is an excellent guide to success if you are willing to put effort in. I've given it a 5 overall because of all the books I have read, this is the one that has lead to the most noticeable changes in what I do, and I can see the immediate impact. I've adapted it but some of the ideas are great ideas explained really well in simple language with concrete advice and examples as to how to do it yourself.

Amazing first 60%. Last 40% mixed. Read it!

I really enjoyed this book and am going to put to work some of the ideas and routines suggested
Thank you again

A very good book with good advice and ideas

I have listened to and read probably in excess of 100 self-development books in the past few years so, although a lot of this wasn't brand new information to me, I very much enjoyed it and feel more compelled to put everything into action than ever before. Usually I finish a book and put absolutely nothing I have learned into action but this book puts things very simply and I've already review the notes I made while listening.
He seems like a nice guy, I thought the examples were good and I will be listening again to it very soon!

Great book, loved every second

I believe every book will have a different impact on each person. I've read/ listened to many personal development books over the last few years, that helped with changing my mindset, but this book provides not only that, it is filled with may practical lessons that step by step teach you "how"- like planning.
also, massive gain for me- thanks to this book, I am now able to stick to my good habits.
I also love the humor in this book, laughed out loud quite a few times!
really enjoyed this book. twice in a row! :)
thank you John for writing this book!

love this book.

I first discovered John Lamberton through another of his books, 'Evergreen Assets', which I also highly recommend. Having received so much value from that one, I was eager to see what else the author had to offer. I then had a choice between 'Big Ideas for Small Businesses' and 'Routine Machine'. As my consulting business strongly advocates Lean Thinking, a book about routines seemed the obvious choice. I wondered if John would be able to deliver as engaging a performance in this book as he did in his third and he certainly pulled it off. Through a collection of anecdotes, 'Routine Machine' will convince you of how much more you can achieve in life through simple systems, processes, and repetition. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for personal or professional growth.

A great book for business and personal growth

I’m lucky enough to know John through the One Percent Club, in fact, I’m lucky (some might say) to have even made an appearance in this very book.

I can’t thank John enough for his dedication to helping people other than himself, if it wasn’t for John (and Jason and a few others) I simply wouldn’t be in business anymore - it’s that simple.

Distilling his knowledge and expertise in to this book has been done with great craft, sensitivity and passion. The ideas, theory and examples in this book are presented in such a way that you simply cannot argue with them, you must do them and if you don’t, you only have yourself to blame.

Other books of a similar ilk just don’t have the personal edge to them that this has.

Look, it’s very simple. There’s just no way you would regret buying this book if you are serious about changing your business/life and are sick of your own excuses.

Being a small business owner this audio book has given me some many ideas to help grow and expand the business as-well as help me grow and better myself as a human being. Thank you John!!

I got a lot from this book I found it easy to follow up and interesting with the little anecdotes. I would definitely recommend

Very Inspiring

A slow and samey start, but stick with it.

This book starts with regurgitated information you should have already read elsewhere in Atomic Habits and the Chimp Paradox- so much so that it’s first chapters read like a rip off of those row books.

But then it grows into something more and gives genuinely useful tips that are delivered in a down-to-earth and amiable way by the author.
