    "Perfect for people who are starting own business"

    This was my first book from Brian Tracy and I must say that now I want to read all of his books.

    Book is very useful for people that are leading startups. If you follow Brian's instructions you will save a lot of time and almost always do the right things.

    I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

    "No practical advise - But, a great wishlist"

    I started listening with great expectations (after reading his good book - eat that frog), but was disappointed to find that this book does not offer any good advise. It does list out all those things that one might wish for in life. I found this bit useful because I could make myself consious of what I also would like in life - but there was very less useful advise on how to get it.

    In some parts I found myself laughing with the suggestions - spend 3 hours extra at work, sleep for 8 hours, spend lots of time with family etc etc far exceeds 24 hours!!

    "I think that you might not want to get this one!"
    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    If you are interested in listening to some talk about common sense ideas, and how great the author is.... then you are interested in the right audiobook.


    What was most disappointing about Brian Tracy’s story?

    The most disappointing thing about this audio book is that the author does a lot of talking about himself and his past achievements and how


    Would you be willing to try another one of Brian Tracy’s performances?

    Maybe if it was not about self improvement.... and that's a big maybe!


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from No Excuses!?

    The author's self rightous talking .... Brian Tracy, to me, seems as though he read a bunch of self improvement books and took their advice and mixed them up .... and puked them onto the pages of this book ... when he got stuck on anything, he just talked about how great he is and what he's accomplished.


    Any additional comments?

    If you read the title of the book (meaning the front cover) you can save yourself a lot of time because that is all he talks about,

    "Stretched out & thin"
    Would you try another book from Brian Tracy and/or Brian Tracy?

    While understanding the motive behind this book, I believe it's delivery was stretched out with more-than-obvious and unnecessary examples. I didn't find that profound realizations or new concepts were being presented; although I'll give credit that it's repetitive nature may help sink in for those needing a boost in motivation. High level and common sense guidelines from which (in my opinion) came from a narrowed view of the world. I would have to recommend that your

    "Nothing Profound"

    I found this audio book to be very motivating... but thats it. I think it would be great for a first time read for someone who wants to change their career and excel in something better like sales. But, like me, if you have read other motivational speaker books, seminars, and some self help books.. you wont find anything new in this book. A lot of it is common sense stuff, and too many catch phrases. Very high level stuff. Also, the naration is very boring, with too much labial sounds and background hiss.

    "I love it"

    I love the book, it's easy to follow, and simple to put it in practice. It's not like other books which presents tons and techniques that it's already difficult enought to memorize them all.

    "Didn't finish it"

    I have read and enjoyed other Brian Tracy books, but this one was a disappointment. Rather than offering an insight into how to gain self-discipline (for those of us out there struggling with it), he merely tells you to get on with it. Most people 'know' what they need to do, but don't have the tools to make the shift. This book won't provide you with help to obtain self-discipline. It made me feel inadequate.

    "good information but nothing new"

    If you have not read any of Brian's other stuff this book is loaded with good practices and insights but there is really nothing new. The material is recycled from his other books and seminars.
