Mostly often heard tautologies.

not really anything new in terms of self-discipline here. Reframing things for the entrepreneur is appropriate but almost everything is an often heard truth or tautology that many other authors can speakers have recited before.

Definitely worth the time.

Although the book seems to dwell on those just starting out, There is also enough practical information in this book for those of us that have been in the trenches for many years. The ideas may not all be groundbreaking, but they're all achievable.

Any additional comments?

All in all this was a worthwhile listen, summing up a lot of good advice. If I had to choose between the audio & the kindle/paperback versions, I would probably choose the kindle/paperback, as I found myself highlighting several section for later reference. Fortunately Martin offers a discount on the audible version if you buy the kindle version first, so it's pretty inexpensive to get both.

Phenomenal!

This book was spot on! This is a book I will keep forever and play it over and over again. A great resource!

Great book on self-discipline for any entrepreneur

Great self-discipline book about how to truly make things work for you and really become an entrepreneur. A must-read for anyone who wants to start a small business and built something valuable to serve people. I loved it!

Discipline for the Roller Coaster Ride

This book is aimed at Entrepreneurs. It makes the very good point that there are a lot of “Wantrepreneurs” out there. The most important thing to do is to ACT. But this action must be carefully considered to be effective. I’ve cringed when friends print up a business card and think they are now in business. The author points out there is far more involved! As a person who has supplemented my income through my own service business for over 35 years, I know this is true! The new entrepreneur could also be steered toward reputable resources, such as the Small Business Development Center, where I got legally registered. As he points out, many online opportunities are scams. Perhaps a future book will be written to explain how to tell if a business opportunity is worthwhile or not. I appreciated his advice to cut out distractions for a solid hour each morning. His emphasis on working AND resting, but not coasting, ever. It’s good advice to hire out work you don’t like or know how to do. The best idea I ever had was hire a competent accountant. One small note - he refers to “one-man jobs,” but in my case these are “one-woman” jobs. Entrepreneurship IS a rollercoaster ride, to be sure, and this book is a clear guide to maintaining focus while enjoying the journey.

A guide to progress without wrecking your life

As a bit of an entrepreneur myself, I was very interested to hear what Martin Meadows has to offer me.
While I have read/listened to many other books on the subject, I still felt that that he provided with greater clarity on what I want to achieve and how I should go about achieving without wrecking all other aspects of my life.
After reading this book, I’m becoming quite a fan of the author and will check out his other works.

Simply Amazing

Will be reading more of his material. Worth every minute of my time. Highly recommend!! Thank you Martin!

Great advice, most of which hard working people do

It had some great takeaways but most of the advice and stories were common practice for people who work hard and have self-discipline. It made me appreciate myself and my work ethic. Worth the time and I would recommend it to most people starting out in college or in life after or even while in high school.
