Book Review of "No Excuses!: The Power of Self-Discipline" by Bryan Tracy

My Personal Book Review of  "No Excuses!: The Power of Self-Discipline" by Bryan Tracy


I admire the look and results of self-discipline in those people around me and when I achieve being self-disciplined myself.
Reaching that level of success is hard. Thriving to maintain and climb even higher is extraordinary!

This book reminds me of the higher level I want to achieve.
This book calls me to that higher level of self-discipline and understanding the value of using it.

When you think of self-discipline, what comes to your mind?
For me, it means having self-control. For you can only control you.

In his book, Brian shows 21 ways to achieve lasting happiness and success. I know you can be thinking, I thought the book was about self-discipline? What do those two have to do with self-discipline?!

PLENTY! As Brian explains in the 21 chapters of this book, when you put self-discipline into practice on a consistent basis, you will be personally fulfilled. You will become a better person and live a better life. Happiness and success being the fruit of your work.

In this book, Brian talks of the basics of self-discipline personally and how to expand into other areas of your life including:

  1. Success
  2. Character
  3. Responsibility
  4. Goals
  5. Personal Excellence
  6. Courage
  7. Persistence
  8. Work
  9. Leadership
  10. Business
  11. Sales
  12. Money
  13. Time Management
  14. Problem Solving
  15. Happiness
  16. Personal Health
  17. Physical Fitness
  18. Marriage
  19. Children
  20. Friendship
  21. Peace of Mind 

One of the main points I love about this book is its title:  NO EXCUSES! Brian shares his background in life in this book. How his challenges had him asking the question, "Why are some people more successful than others?" How that question and his pursuit of the answer changed his life. I know this book has given me a fresh perspective and charge about being self-disciplined and I think it will for you too!

If you haven't picked up a copy of this book, this is a must-have for your collection if you are thriving for personal growth in your life. You can order a copy of it HERE

I strongly encourage this book as a beginning read for a teenager. there are many tips for them to transform into great adults having this book.

Book Review of: SOAR: Build Your Vision from the Ground Up by TD Jakes

 My Personal Book Review of: SOAR: Build Your Vision from the Ground Up by TD Jakes     The book was released in 2018, but is very relevant and encouraging today as then.  The thought of your 9-to-5 supplying all your financial needs is a fantasy when you look at the reality of today’s society.  Soar reminds me to expand my creativity and ask God for what other resources can provide income for my family and to help serve  others around me. Soar talks to people of faith, entrepreneurship, inventors, dreamers, creators, artists, history lovers, etc.  The mixture of biblical examples, stories of  inventors like the Wright Brothers, and TD Jakes' life growing up make this book a must  read. I love chapter 3. dedicated to women entrepreneurs, including Jake’s mother and her work ethic in being an entrepreneur. How that affected Jakes life and was an example for him for the future. There’s also a breakdown of statistics, eras of society and trends...

Book Review of "Soul Shaping" by Jeff Brown

Image
" Soul Shaping - The Journey of Self-Creation " by Jeff Brown Soulshaping is the inspiring memoir of an archetypal "male warrior"–a trial lawyer–who struggled to find his heart and a more authentic, soulful path. Rivetingly personal and profoundly universal, this book is for anyone who has heard a whisper of something truer calling out to them amid the distractions of modern life. Jeff Brown ’s dramatic and often funny story takes readers through remarkably human experiences–emotional, physical, and economic–as he vividly recounts his a troubled childhood, his success in apprenticing with Canada’s top criminal lawyer, and his ultimate decision to leave the law and begin an an inner journey to discover his soul’s purpose. A work of courageous self-creation, Soulshaping reminds us that we are all truly connected, that our seemingly isolated struggles are actually part of the shared human challenge to live a life that is heart-centered and so...

Book Review of "NO MATTER WHAT!: 9 STEPS TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU LOVE" by Lisa Nichols

Image
 My Personal Book Review of  "No Matter What" by Lisa Nichols I can't help but think of the words from that Yolanda Adam's song, "The Battle Is The Lord's". Part of the chorus rings out to me: No matter what you're going through Remember that God only wants to use you No matter what you happen to go through right now Remember that in the midst of it all, God only wants to use you     The lyrics to that song are powerful...and so is Lisa Nichols book.     In this book , Lisa share with us 9 STEPS TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU LOVE.  I had to put that in caps because I think most of us can think otherwise. This life is can be at times...blah. Lisa breaks the book down in terms of Bounce-Back Muscles we all need to develop and empower our life.     The 9 Bounce-Back Muscles: 1.Understanding 2. Faith-in-Myself 3. Take Action 4. I-Know-Like-I-Know 5. Honesty 6. Say-Yes 7. Determination 8. Forgiveness 9. Highest Choice   Lisa breaks down ...
