There just isn't enough time for everything on our "To Do" list and there never will be. Successful people don't try to do everything. They learn to focus on the most important tasks and make sure they get done. There's an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that it's probably the worst thing you'll do all day. Using "eat that frog" as a metaphor for tackling the most challenging task of your day, the one you are most likely to procrastinate on, but also probably the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life, Eat That Frog! shows you how to zero in on these critical tasks and organize your day. You'll not only get more done faster, but get the right things done.

Based on more than 20 years of experience and 40 years of research, this book presents a completely updated and practical, proven strategy for creating and meeting goals that has been used by more than 1 million people already in its first edition. Author Brian Tracy again explores the seven key elements of goal setting and the 12 steps necessary to set and accomplish goals of any size. Using his trademark simple language and real-life examples, Tracy shows how to do the crucial work of determining one's strengths, values, and true goals. He explains further how to build the self-esteem and confidence necessary for achievement; how to overpower every problem or obstacle; how to overcome difficulties; how to respond to challenges; and how to continue moving forward no matter what happens. The book's revised and updated "Mental Fitness" program of character development shows readers how to become the kind of person on the inside who can achieve any goal on the outside.

Everyone wants to feel good. In fact, we hope that we will feel good most of the time. There are times that we don't feel so great, but that's okay. It's important to feel not so great sometimes too, so we can appreciate the good times. The difficult part is finding happiness in ourselves, rather than a food or pill or product, when we do feel bad. The difficult part is not relying on something other than ourselves to bring us happiness or take away our sadness. All you NEED to be happy is YOU!

No Excuses! shows you how you can achieve success in all three major areas of your life; 1. Your personal goals.2. Your business and money goals.3. Your 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 who you think are just ''luckier'' than you. A little self-discipline goes a long way...so stop making excuses and read this book!
