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!

New to Brian Tracy - Recommend Highly

I have been an Audible Gold member since 2003, and have downloaded over a 120 titles, with perhaps one-third of those in the self-development category. Being new to Brian Tracy, any re-purposed content was not an issue for me. I can simply say that his message whacked me in the forehead with the colloqial "4x4"...I recognized how I've let others direct my behavior, (especially in my career) and how "taking the path of least resistance" has led me exactly to where I am at this point in my life. disapointed, disaffected, and blaming others. More importantly, I can see how adopting a more disciplined approach, even with the smallest aspects of day-to-day life can lead me step by step toward the realization of my goals - goals I set myself based on a new-found awareness of what is most important to me. His delivery didn't pose a challenge for me - he sets a very measured, but earnest tone that is compelling and conversational.

Good listen for teens'

What did you love best about No Excuses!?

I didn't love this book but I do enjoy Brian Tracy. His narration is without any passion. It sounds like he has said these same pointers over and over for so long that even he is board with it all. I didn't learn anything new but that is because I have been a student of self help all my life. This is a good listen for younger people just trying to get their independent footing.

Practical Life Coaching

I've always enjoyed listening to Brian Tracy as I have purchased his audio tapes, CDs and books for years. He is an excellent and encouraging life coach.
No Excuses captures many of his key ideas making them practical and accessible. If you are looking for success principles and a good kick in the pants, this is a good book.
The format is easy to follow with practical steps at the end of each chapter.

Classic And Foundational

I think this is a good book for anyone on their journey of self discipline and adopting full ownership of their lives and circumstances. I am a person that has reaped the benefits of living a no excuse life and I’m quite successful already as a result. I mention that because this book still had value even to me. I would argue it has more value because I know the benefit of the approaches and it still gave me more to think about and strive for, largely to help others in addition to myself. Well done. The content is good enough that you can get past the delivery, and lack of dynamic energy. Proof for sure that you don’t have to be all “ra-ra” to convey your passion for a subject. Enjoyed the book. Thanks Mr. Tracy.

Cuts to the core

This audio cuts straight to the core of why people don't get what they want. Digs really deep to the soul. However, it also guides you how to get out. Great book.

Always looking for nuggets

Any additional comments?

I pulled several practical nuggets out of this book. Some people may not like the author's voice and tone, but the content is worth sticking it out. When I listen to a self development book, the goal is to learn something that I can use in every day life, and I got a few from this one.

GREAT PROGRAM!

I believe this program is for those that want to be DISCIPLINED in every aspect of life. If you are not one to be a disciplinary of your life then DO NOT get this program. It will challenge you to want the best for yourself in all aspects of life as long as you live. I am grateful to take this program literally and act upon the discipline natures it has taught me.
