Publisher's Summary

Most people think success comes from good luck or enormous talent, but many successful people achieve their accomplishments in a simpler way: through self-discipline. Brian Tracy knows this firsthand. He didn’t graduate from high school, and after working for a few years as a laborer, he realized he had limited skills and a limited future. But through the power of self-discipline, he changed his life, achieving success in sales and marketing, investing, real-estate development, and management consulting. He has consulted to more than 1,000 companies, given motivational speeches and seminars to more than four million people in 40 countries, and written 45 books.

No Excuses! shows you how you can achieve success in all three major areas of your life:

  • Your personal goals: self-discipline can help you realize that you are responsible for your success and shows you how persistence really does pay off.
  • Your business and money goals: self-discipline can make you a better leader and a better manager, help you close more sales and make more money, improve your time-management and problem- solving abilities, and make you more effective and successful at work.
  • Your overall happiness: self-discipline can help you be happier, healthier, and more physically fit, and it can help you in your marriage and your relationships with your children and friends.

Each of the 21 chapters in this audiobook shows you how to be more disciplined in one aspect of your life, with end- of-chapter exercises to help you apply the “no excuses” approach to your own life. With these guidelines, you can learn how to be more successful in everything you do—instead of wistfully envying others who you think are just “luckier” than you. A little self-discipline goes a long way...so stop making excuses and listen to this audiobook!

Awesome

From start to finish this book hits the point in every chapter. Also gives you a exercise to complete at the end of each chapter. A must listen.

Why didn’t I read this book earlier?

Two words!
Delayed gratification
Loved listening to Brian Tracy’s book. His voice is so therapeutic to listen to as well. Digressing here on the review.. but over the past few days I’ve been applying Mr Tracy’s advice and I’m conquering my fears one by one. It’s not just discipline but also development as well.

More boring than a late night informertial

The book is highly repetitive and gives an old generic advice with not much proof or explanation. The author obviously wrote the book and all his courses to profit himself rather than give real value or advice. There are much better books to spent your time on with greater return such as MJ DeMarco, or Willpower. If I'd be to summerise the book in 3 points it's be proactive at work, maintain healthy body and relationships. The author nuts manages to fluff this up into a full book.

Repetitive authoritative opinionated

Did not get anything out of this. Kept hoping would be enlightening. Author seemed judgemental and egotistical which made it hard to respect the messages he intended to project but poorly explained. Atomic habits much better alternative.

Great content, mediocre delivery

Listened twice because the info is so worthwhile. The reader/author needs training in modulation and appropriate pausing.
The delivery made it difficult to listen to but this was overshadowed by the quality of the material.
