Education and self-improvement is a continuous process. I agree and appreciate how he repeatedly advocates for reading as much as you can and investing an adequate amount of time and money in continuing to better and educate yourself instead of seeing education as something you do to get a degree.
However, I don't appreciate him insisting that the only way to be paid what you are worth is to work yourself to death for the sake of getting a raise. "...come to work an hour early... work through your lunch and breaks.... stay at work two hours late after everyone else has gone home....., let your boss always see your working...."
Bullshit, I wish we would stop normalizing underpaying and devaluing people's labor as the "cost of doing business." It's an abusive cycle and we can do better than, "oh well, that's just the way things are."

This book tells you everything you actually know already... self-discipline is the key. Yes, it is not easy... I really try to take on the challenge to improve my self-discipline in areas I know I lack in it and really want to do better there.
It is a good prep talk even if you don't go all the way... but you can use it in every situation in your live not only business!

nehovorím, že táto kniha je najlepšia na svete, všetko má svoje muchy a plusy, ale pokiaľ aj len začínate s takouto literatúrou alebo sa vám nechce čítať komplikované knihy, tak stojí určite za prečítanie. minimálne sa zamyslíte sám nad sebou, že aké blbosti ste doteraz v niektorých oblastiach robili :D
I didn't 100% agree with everything that Brian Tracy says in this book but the bulk of the book is very useful advice if you are trying to get ahead in life.
Some great tips and some hoo-ha. I plan to go through the actions steps from each chapter and write out answers/actions to take. I hope to revisit them regularly since making myself do it is good 'exercise.'
On another note, if you read many of Tracy's books, there is quite a bit of overlap. I don't mind too much because my mind needs repetition to absorb, but it would be nice if they were organized in such a way that there was a logical sequence or plan. For example, knowing that if you've read "Eat That Frog" you don't really need to read the other mini-books on productivity.

Technically DNF but I got to chapter 19/21. I borrowed this because it was available from my library and I liked Eat That Frog from this author. But sheesh. He felt like a dirty snake oil salesman in this one. It was just icky. Especially chapter 18 which made me nope right out of this.
Some of the earlier stuff was actually pretty darn good! But there are better productivity books out there.

me lo escuché mientras hacía ejercicio. quedé bien motivada pero igual siento que te incita al toxic behavior de la productividad. no sé, no fui fan.
Great book!
Insightful.
There's at least one, if not a few chapters, that will resonate to past and present situations in your life.
I'd definitely recommend this book and might even find myself rereading this sometime in the future.

This book felt a lot like it was written by a disciplined father archetype to me. I personally never had that experience but I watched a lot of movies about it. I don’t mean to be rude but it feels it comes from a priviliged angle and I do not recommend this type of self-help for people who suffer from mental illnesses. “Go and f*ing do it” or “if you work hard enough” attitude of the book felt very old to me. Of course I respect the style but I don’t think we should fat shame and give diet advice (without even having a degree on it) in “self improvement” books. This is a bit outdated. Good information, yes, but be aware of the style.
