Measure What Matters
by John Doerr
Renowned venture capitalist John Doerr explains how the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) goal-setting system has driven explosive growth for tech giants like Intel and Google—and how it can help any organisation succeed.
No Excuses! The Power of Self-discipline by Brian Tracy
You don't need to have been born under a lucky star, with incredible wealth, terrific contacts and connections, or even special skills. However, what you do need to succeed in any of your life goals is self-discipline.
What’s your definition of success? What does it look like for you? What steps do you need to take to get there? Success means different things to different people, but the common challenge is often a lack of discipline to do what needs to be done. Focusing too much on how we feel can be a distraction.

“The elevator to success is out of order.
You'll have to use the stairs... one step at a time.” Joe Girard
To achieve success, you need three key elements:
-
Decide what you want.
-
Determine the level of effort you are willing to commit.
-
Understand that this effort is like a price you pay in full and in advance.
John Doerr is an engineer, acclaimed venture capitalist, chairman of Kleiner Perkins and the author of "Speed and Scale" and "Measure What Matters."
