No Excuses!: The Power of Self-Discipline

Very, very helpful!
When I first began listening to Brian Tracy’s audio CD, I would fall asleep within minutes and wake up after it had stopped. I thought – “well, I guess I can use it for relaxation when I can’t sleep…” Anyway, I am happy to say that I am now staying awake and Mr. Tracy’s words are extremely helpful to me. He speaks in a clear, easy-to-understand matter-of-fact manner and demonstrates a lot of common sense and practical advice. Self discipline has always been a problem for me, and now that I am retired and in addition have some health issues, I really needed help in this area. Much of Mr. Tracy’s advice relates to the workplace but he also covers other facets of life as well. (I only wish that in the years I was working I had this CD because it would have helped me a great deal in my job). One of the quotes he uses which I found most helpful was “self-discipline is doing what you have to do, when you have to do it, whether you feel like it or not”. When I don’t want to do things, or don’t even feel like getting out of bed, I repeat this to myself like a mantra, and it really helps. To me, the value of any self-help program is: has it created a positive change? Mr. Tracy’s book passes the test because I am amazed at how much more I am accomplishing in my daily life. I listen to the tapes over and over, and every time I hear something I didn’t notice before. Incidentally, I think this would be a great gift for a young person going off to college or starting a new job. I only wish that I had it years ago.

Highly recommended (Audio book)
This review is based on the audio book version of the book which is complete, unabridged and best of all, read by the author himself!Brian is a man who speaks my language: logic and straight to the point. He makes it clear that there are no shortcuts to achieving MASSIVE success and if you’re willing to take him on as your coach-in-a-book, it’s hard to mess up.Mind you, the principles are sound, it will depend on the application. It’s a book I keep in my car and play on repeat to make sure I didn’t miss anything and took the liberty of interpreting its content to my own whims.Read and re-read the book while asking yourself of the parts that make you feel uncomfortable. It’s hard not to fight certain truths in this book as it forces you to take responsibility in all aspects of your life and that is a daunting task that only great people should be willing to do.All his principle are tangible and not “wish it so it will become” kind of medley that a lot of new age authors tend to do. Not that it’s wrong to do so, but I notice a LOT of adherents of such books tend to rely heavily on laws of attraction, which won’t work on its own. This is a book of action and it will upset certain personality types. I highly recommend this book

Brian Tracy, a Genuine Mentor
Brian Tracy persuades us to decide what we really want before trying to solve pressing problems or set goals. His practical instruction and inspiring examples from his own life are useful for personal or professional development. In this book, Tracy exposes the lie behind false shortcuts to success and a meaningful life. He makes self-discipline the first step, not the last step, to success. Buy this book to learn why the easy way out is actually the long, hard road.Surprisingly, one recent reviewer attacks Tracy as an advocate of wishful thinking and shallow values: “Fantastical beliefs of New Thought” “Venal materialism” “false religion.” Tracy himself points out the limitations of The Secret. It’s true Tracy shows how to develop both the conscious and unconscious part of your brain. Modern science has shown the power of unconcious thought in human behavior, so that’s no fantasy.Tracy does help us develop innate talents and encourage mutual success at work or home. Money is just one resource to help accomplish that goal on a larger scale. Equating Tracy’s success habits with “venal materialism” seems counterproductive if you seek meaning beyond your own four walls.My career requires helping people improve their lives despite difficult challenges. Helping anyone–especially ourselves–to change for the better requires the best persuasive skills and self-discipline available. I don’t agree with everything Brian Tracy says. Still, he’s been my best guide in thinking for myself and living with more purpose and joy than regret. Highly recommended!
