I am not a person who reads books like this but a friend who seems to get a lot done recommended this to me. I found it to be excellent and very helpful in getting me on task and getting things done myself. It is a very well written book and easy to understand. I could recommend it to anybody who needs to get more done.
Stay on track.
Great book for helping you set goals and stay on the fast track to achieviing them.
A Roadmap To Success
I have to chuckle when I read reviews that state this is "Cheerful Coaching: sort of like a nice way of saying "Feel Good Junk." While there are motivators inside the book, this is much more than just "cheerful coaching" "cheerleading" or "feel good stuff."
Clearly, Brian Tracy is a big thinker. How do you suppose he rose to the level of success he enjoys today? Some folks refer to big thinking as not being realistic. These are the people who need this book the most.
Referring to the reticular activator which some folks poke fun at, this was the creation of Napolean Hill. Hill even referred to it as "Norm Hill." Norm being is wifes maiden name and Hill of course being his name. Napolean Hill was famous for predicting that he could find a parking place right in front of any building that he was going to anytime and everytime. He did it by using the reticular activator and according to the story, Napolean did do it everytime. In one case, Hill was on his way to a bank with a friend and this was on a Friday afternoon during the busiest time of the day. Hills friend indicated that there would be no way that Hill would find a parking place right in front of the bank.
As Hill pulled up to the bank, clearly there were no spaces open. His friend says "See!" Hill tells his friend to hold on a minute and sure enough someone walks out of the bank and drives off while another person pulls out of the same area.
Hill tells his friend that he was getting a two-for. One was because he predicted there would be a spot open and two for doubting Norm Hill (the reticular activator)
I have used this myself and it works, BUT...only when you believe in it.
In Goals, Tracy unveils 21 strategies to help you reach whatever goals you want to achieve. The book is 300 pages and is the most comphrehensive course on setting and achievingg oals that I have ever seen. This is not a one time read and put aside. It is a course that you willw ant to review again and again. In fact one of Brian Tracy's secrets is to write and rewrite your goals every day, first thing in the morning. Another secret is daily visualization of those goals. (Chapter 16)
Overall, another winner for Brian Tracy and maybe his best book. I would like to end by stating one of Brian Tracy's favorite phrases and that is that setting goals is hard, hard work and this why so few people do it.
"Good luck and I hope you reach all of your goals." - Brian Tracy
