Making a permanent change often feels outright impossible. Making one attempt after another, you fail and continue to fail, and it seems there's no way to make the change stick for longer than a couple of weeks. Perhaps… except some people somehow manage to stick to their resolutions in the long term and their lives do get better - permanently. What makes the difference between those superheroes and “mere mortals”? More importantly, can the “mortals” acquire those superpowers, or should they accept that they'll never be able to permanently change their lives?

Have you ever wondered what separates people who think bigger from people who set their bars low? What makes one person accept low standards and another person constantly raise them? What drives a person who's optimizing every single aspect of her life, and what causes another person to maintain the status quo? I found this topic so fascinating, I decided to find out the answer for myself and write a book about it.

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.

Concise, insightful, worthwile
What was one of the most memorable moments of Self-Discipline for Entrepreneurs?

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.

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.

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.
