Goal Setting Books For Entrepreneurs Who Hate Fluff
If you like books that promise the world and deliver slogans, this is the wrong shelf.
These are goal setting books for entrepreneurs and parents who care about effort, systems, and reality – not about becoming the next motivational story. Each one is built on a simple idea: you cannot control outcomes, you can control your effort and the structure around it
Conquer Your World:
10 Steps To A Better You
This is where a lot of this work started.
“Conquer Your World” is not about conquering other people. It is about taking ownership of your own life without turning yourself into a brand. The book walks through ten simple shifts – from blaming to responsibility, from labels to effort, from noise to systems – that you can actually use.
Who it is for
- Entrepreneurs and professionals who feel stuck between ambition and guilt
- People who want practical steps, not a new identity
TAME Your Goals - The Effort Based System For Founders
(Coming Soon)
Most goal setting books for entrepreneurs either sell hustle or sell frameworks that ignore how humans behave on a bad day. This one does neither.
“TAME Your Goals” shows founders how to build a basic operating system:
- Clear result goals that matter
- Effort based goals beneath each result
- A weekly review rhythm that keeps everyone honest
No jargon, no worship of OKRs, no pretending you can control every outcome.
What you will learn
- The difference between result based and effort based goals
- How to design effort lines under revenue, sales, marketing, product, and operations
- How to run weekly reviews that do not waste time
Effort Based Parenting - Systems At Home
(Coming Soon)
This is the same thinking, taken home.
“Effort Based Parenting” is for parents who are tired of shouting, feeling guilty, and reading advice that sounds good but collapses by Tuesday.
Inside are small, simple systems around:
● Homework and study
● Screens and devices
● Chores and contribution
The goal is not “perfect kids.” The goal is a calmer home where effort is clear and expectations are visible.
