Resumen del Editor

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!

There are really no excuses why your not where you

I read this book years ago and then it hit home with what I learned in the Marines. Hard work does pay off in the end. Waiting for someone else to get you moving toward the goal you want to reach is a sure path to failure. Today our political leaders talk about how we don’t start and run a business, that is a team effort. That is true once the business is started. I’ve started and closed three companies. If I had waited on other help I would never have started them. If I had waited on others I wouldn’t have closed them. Each failed for their own reason. If I had listened to others I would have kept the last one open even though it was bleeding money. You can’t spend more than you take in unless you’re the government. Here I was reminded that I’m exactly where I am because of all my past thoughts, actions and beliefs. Without having read this book I’ve begun once more to change my thinking. I re-read this book because its a good source of information and a swift kick when needed. I recommend it to everyone who is or isn’t running a business.

Excellent Motivational Ideas

A friend shared this title with me, and I am forever grateful. The thoughts and ideas served as an eye opener. I enjoyed it immensely.

A+ book, which covers a wide variety of subjects.

You can listen to it wherever you want, and will still learn something new. Highly recommended.

Good book. Motivational. Classically repetitive.

I liked this book and found it a good listen for my morning workouts. I have not read anything else by the author, so whether or not this is regurgitated material from his other books I cannot say, however I enjoyed it and thought he had many good points.

Unlike other reviewers, I didn't mind the narration at all. In fact, I appreciate it when I can get the actual author's intonation of his own words. Is Tracy a gifted reader? Maybe not, but it's not half as bad as some claim.

What I did find, and this is pretty classic for this type of book, is that Tracy pretty much said everything he had to in the first quarter of the book, and then spent the rest of the book approaching the material from different angles to fill up pages. Likewise, I thought the book ended randomly and abruptly, as if he'd filled his word quota. Still I enjoyed the book, and recommend it.

Brilliant !

Need to read it again now !
Excellent.
Hope to get others to read it.
Should be part of schooling.
