No Excuses!: The Power of Self-Discipline

by Brian Tracy

Overview

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. No Excuses! shows you how you can achieve success in all three major areas of your life, including your personal goals, business and money goals, and overall happiness.

Each of the 21 chapters in this book 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 you think are just "luckier" than you. A little self-discipline goes a long way — so stop making excuses and read this book!
