"Procastination is not a thief of time but a thief life" Indeed... I have so many failed plans in 2023 due to procastination and lack of self discipline. Procastination is an anxiety syndrome according to a new study. It's very crazy because I tend to make things perfect. This book is a blessing from God in heaven. This book not only teaches self discipline but it also help you how to be successful in life. Only if everyone knows this book and apply what it said, I can assure that everyone is successful and we more have a better world today. Less crimes, less poverty, less problems...
I can definitely relate with you. I have found that perfection robs me of many things and causes great anxiety. I'm listening to it. I hope it can help me break these barriers.
Yeah, perfection really robs a lot. Now I'm trying to be more aware when I found myself trying to make things perfect. Breaking these barriers is such a challenge, but I notice some improvements when I start NOT MAKING EXCUSES.@@1fashionbliss
I think is the best audiobook that i listened in my life its really improve my life, i start waking up earlier and i just like to do that with this book i started my life without excuses, so helped, Thank you Brian Tracy, you the best. I insanely wish you long life.
How are you doing now? Looks like I found your comment two years later... I'd very much like to hear how it went: How long did it last? How many times did you have to restart? What made it harder? Did you try it alone? Is this book valuable?
Just recently I realized,I work out everyday,so why not strengthen my mind. Some people want to be strong others smart, I am thriving for both. Thank you, for opening the door to possibility.
What helped me a ton is mindfulness meditation, separating from thoughts and not taking them too seriously. The mind cannot force itself into action, it'll end up consuming itself with endless thought. The workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels is awesome, as is the Tao Te Ching.
I've gained numerous insights from this book, but one particularly striking lesson stands out of me and hit one of my attitude towards working: 'Birds of a feather flock together.' This rings true-by surrounding ourselves with individuals who mirror the qualities we wish to embody, we elevate not just ourselves but each other. Together, we shape our futures, influenced by the circles we choose to be part of. This message, among others derived from it, continues to unfold and resonate with me.
Hello, I never usually leave comments, but I wanted the author and publisher to know that I think this book may be the most informative, complete and direct literature that I have come across. I am going to see if the author has other works or maybe old seminars to watch. I also enjoy the tone and patience of the reader (who is also the author, which is great). Thank you. I will probably buy the actual book for my personal library. If the author reads this, please get back to me as I would enjoy buying direct and maybe have it signed. Thanks.
This book changed my life. I was 18 starting on my self development journey. I am 21 now and im so grateful for this audiobook. Makes it easier for me to go through it once more. Thank you Brian Tracy ❤
This book transformed my life. Sometimes you need to know stuff that you already know but not ready to accept it nor ready to take a positive action. Thank you so much for this precious gift. I will cherish this book forever.
I was in the us navy when I read this book. It separated me from the pack. I decided to get out the navy in 2020. I’ve made multiple 6 figures every year since I’ve been out
I ve started this book by the last chapter 21 peace of mind . I Ve understood my inner and outer peace . I know the real meaning of forgiveness and realized I was totally wrong idea about it . Every chapter chapter must be read 7days a week for perfect assimilation for practical manner . Outstanding knowledge
I really enjoyed the way you minister, Pastor. I was easily engaged by the powerful message you delivered and the loving-kindness only a heart filled with The Holy Spirit could impart. May The Most High continue to Reign in your heart and home.

1:13:00 i love that he acknowledges that it's normal to be conditioned in childhood that we don't have agency in our lives. Many people blame the person who feels disempowered, rather than the natural state of being a child. Some parents never instill a sense of independence in their kids. They would rather retain control and superiority in the home. Some of us really do need the "obvious" stated: that at a certain point in development, it is our responsibility to seize the agency in our lives. If we stop blaming individuals for being blind to that fact and instead kindly wake them up to reality, i wonder how much they'd flourish.
Estoy fascinada con el audio, estoy estudiando ingles a mis 48 años, tengo el libro y los leo en conjunto para escuchar y ver como sexescribe, me encanta este autor BT, y felicito enirmemente al lector, are amazing❤❤❤
Million of thanks for myriads of insights now it is edge of the year so I am going to imprint my goal settings on the basis of deep learning and working methods and technique with the help of this amazing 📖
I read 'the Millionaire Next Door" as well and it's an excellent book. I can say that it is true that most millionaires and billionaires are first generation.... However, it's also true that the richest (billion and trillionaires - .0001%) are generational wealthy. Like the Rothschild's and Rockefellers! And aTHEY own monopoly size estates (like the Federal Reserve). That being said though, I LOVE this book and am immediately applying it to my current situation, so thank you for this!
Really?! It gives me anxiety😭. He pauses so much in the middle of his sentences, and his soft spoken words sometimes sound lispy😬. The content seems good but i just prefer more natural and crisp narrators.
One additional note regarding an insight I had while listening to the book. I actually listened to the whole thing, because it truly fascinated me! I have a sneaky suspicion that The Devil refers to Hell as “The Organization”
I both love and hate this book. He's so right on the self discipline part (something I really need to cultivate and the main reason why I can't get shit done...), but also it feels so aimed at the authors' (and many other people's) idea of success. (Although sometimes he also mentions to find what success/happiness means for YOU... (but do you really know?)) I don't care if someone sold over a million in cars or is the leading whatever of their field. More products. More things. More growth. Always more. More. More. I am fed up with that. All fame and glory, all esteemed positions in a career or whatever, it's not more special than anything and it just feeds the ego. What we need is not more people who want more, who view themselves as superior, but more love and connection and more community. Less commercialisation. Less self enrichment and more sharing. What I want, what my ideal idea of success is... USED to be to become famous and special. To be recognized and leave a mark. But not anymore (many would call me unambitious now maybe). I just want to live a cozy, silly, adventurous life where no one tells me what I can and cannot do. I want to have a cozy tiny house in nature, or a van, or both... Create art, plant a garden, do tattoos and travel around selling art and homemade, simple but good, food. Connecting people with each other, instead of against each other. I don't want the highest net worth. I would live without money if that was possible. Your worth is not determined by how much you earn or how famous you are. If I would somehow ever be famous, I'd laugh at it. We're all lost souls swimming in the same fish bowl.
I agree. This book is a reflection of its time, aimed to people who wanted to "make it" on corporate America in the late 90's. Not a lot for the entrepreneur, free lancer or self employed here. Still has some great insights, just not all of it applys to a lot of us right now.
So, what's stopping you? If all you want is, say a van with those things to be fulfilled in life. That's a year or two of frugal living, and you're set.
Engaging with books has significantly elevated my perspective on investing. True wealth isn't built through mere savings; financial freedom stems from strategic investments. I've learned that accumulating wealth hinges on making prudent investment decisions||

It's not making myself a victim, it's how you understand it. Analyze it again@@DITTOE
@@1fashionblissa hope is a goal without effort!!!
"Nothing is impossible if you put your heart and effort into it. Keep pushing forward; great achievements are waiting for you ahead!"
Accept 100% responsibility for everything you are and your reactions to everything that happens to you. This will liberate you
I agree. Being responsible means accepting consequences for all your actions whether big or small.
Yes being responsible for your actions is self discipline. Not many walk this way its quite a shame.
This is so true though! :)

“Short term gain can cause long term pain”

I disagree with that quote, short term gains compound over time. Also some things are a limited time and you cannot enjoy later so its wishy washy.

One additional note regarding an insight I had while listening to the book. I actually listened to the whole thing, because it truly fascinated me! I have a sneaky suspicion that The Devil refers to Hell as “The Organization”
I love that!
Where does it "says the organization"??
The most important part of this book is investing 3% (or more) of your income back into YOU every year.
Yeah that was a good tip.
This book is amazing! Full of great insights and actionable advice.

I don't care if someone sold over a million in cars or is the leading whatever of their field. More products. More things. More growth. Always more. More. More.
I am fed up with that.
All fame and glory, all esteemed positions in a career or whatever, it's not more special than anything and it just feeds the ego.
What we need is not more people who want more, who view themselves as superior, but more love and connection and more community.
Less commercialisation. Less self enrichment and more sharing.
What I want, what my ideal idea of success is... USED to be to become famous and special. To be recognized and leave a mark.
But not anymore (many would call me unambitious now maybe). I just want to live a cozy, silly, adventurous life where no one tells me what I can and cannot do. I want to have a cozy tiny house in nature, or a van, or both...
Create art, plant a garden, do tattoos and travel around selling art and homemade, simple but good, food. Connecting people with each other, instead of against each other.
I don't want the highest net worth. I would live without money if that was possible.
Your worth is not determined by how much you earn or how famous you are.
If I would somehow ever be famous, I'd laugh at it. We're all lost souls swimming in the same fish bowl.

I love your wise spirit! I would love to be your neighbor, eat your food and buy your art!
So, what's stopping you? If all you want is, say a van with those things to be fulfilled in life. That's a year or two of frugal living, and you're set.
