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!

Don’t listen to the haters

I purchased this book because of the few negative reviews saying that it’s of a conservative mindset. Anyone who doesn’t like this book needs to start accepting responsibility of everything in their lives and stop making excuses for their lack of success and happiness. Stop being a sheep and be a herder..unless you want to stay miserable.
I finished this book in about 2 weeks and it’s changed my life already. Thank you !

What is up with this book ?

You like common places ?
You like someone who repeats the same things over and over ? This book is for you.
If you already know the Pareto law and that you need good role models to help you learn you can skip this book. The whole thing is about how you could become better by reading more books and attending seminars... why do you think I bought this ?

It depends

It depends on where you are at in your journey.. some good information shared regardless of where you are at.. and some quite simplistic and outdated views on how to approach life.. at times the advice given is a bit conflicting.. the amount of stuff a person needs to do first thing in the morning before work would have people getting up at 3 or 4 am depending on your start time..

Sounds like I’m beating it likely.. and I am to a point but there is some good stuff shared too.. and as with any book you take from it what resonates and leave behind what doesn’t..

Good book

I got this audible to learn about just general tips and tricks on self descipline. I loved how this book looks into different parts of your life like work, fitness, marriage, raising kids etc. and gives examples of how you can practice self descipline in order to improve these areas.

Just Okay

Writer / narrator assumes too much about life fitting into nice easy generalizations. Clearly conservative in the life views, but life is not always easy enough to generalize into short answers.

Beaucoup de contenus !!

J’ai lu plusieurs sites livres sur différents sujets mentionnés dans celui-ci. C’est un excellent livre regroupant du contenu axé vers différentes sphères de nos vis avec beaucoup mais beaucoup d’excellent excerice. Je vous conseil d’avoir un cahier de note près de vous lors de l’écoute !

to reliant on sales metaphor

hard to make through several chapters about sales. they don't apply to me so it was kind of a drag.
