No Excuse! Incorporating Core Values, Accountability, and Balance into Your Life and Career

I was recommended this book by a mentor of mine--primarily because the author goes into detail about the levels of commitment a business owner can go through and use this to determine if you are using it as a hobby or if you are extremely committed to its (and your) successful outcome.What I had challenges with are the size of the print, the every other sentence, use of the title No Excuse! and the military style, in your face flow. The ideas are good and solid, but the flow of the words are not smooth at all and I found myself struggling to read more than 20-30 minutes at a time. I have not completed the book, and books like this are usually hard for me to put down, but this one is taking some "stick-to-it ness" to finish.You will learn from this book--I recommend pushing through and embracing his ideas.

This was the first of many books I have read over the past 15 years, and is one of the most outstanding and memorable lessons. No Excuse!The attitude of accepting responsibility for one's actions is a core value that when adopted allows individuals to make huge progress in communication, career, and relationships. When responsibility for actions is accepted there is no blame. Only then is there total control where not only does one take ownership of outcomes but also the rewards that result.This book has been most impactful and highly recommended.

Since Jay wrote this book I have purchased many copies to share with co-workers and family. When my son recently moved to Chicago to start his first job out of college I gave him 3 books that have influenced my life tremendously. This was top of the list. When the principles outlined in this book are applied, life truly is more meaningful and less frustrating.

Practical advice with a lot of great stories to help drive the points home. I LOVE this book. I have bought it at least 5 times now as I end up giving it to someone that I feel could benefit from it. Jay is also great if you get a chance to see him speak live.

Jay Rifenbary is a great motivational speaker. He did an opening speech at a conference that was held at my college and it was one of the best speeches I've heard. Hence, I went and purchased his book...In terms of shipping and condition: the shipping was quite expedite and the condition was as advertised. I am pleased with this purchase.

I have read several of this style book, they all help you get mentally organized, if you use it it helps.

Very inspirational book!! You will enjoy this book, I promise!!

No Excuse is a must read for anyone wanting to achieve more in life. I've read it several times over the years.

Good content but a bit wordy and arguably a bit too 'me' for my liking. So I didn't finish it.
