My book of the month is No Excuses! The Power of Self-Discipline.
In the book, Brian Tracy argues that the real separator between people who achieve their goals and those who don’t is self-discipline.
The book shows that success in work, money, health, relationships, and personal growth comes from consistently doing what needs to be done especially when you don’t feel like doing it.
Across the chapters, Tracy emphasizes taking full responsibility for your life, setting clear goals, managing time wisely, controlling emotions, and building habits that move you closer to long-term success.
The central message is simple: when you learn to discipline your thoughts and actions, you gain control over your direction, results, and ultimately your peace of mind.
Funny enough, I’ve never finished a single book in my life… but after reading No Excuses, I’m starting to realize I might have run out of excuses not to finish the next one. 😅📚

What determines whether you succeed or not in business ?
I'm still early in my career as a founder in the tech industry. Its quite interesting to me to sometimes think about the fantasized version of my dream to build a company and contrast it with my actual experience. One of the things that took a while for me to learn is this. Embrace reality and deal with It. Reality is the starting point and the ultimate judge of any decision. Denying or fighting how things work leads to failure, whereas accepting harsh truths allows you to adapt.
