When our "ordinary" neighbor, colleague, or cousin suddenly rockets to success, most of us chalk up their good fortune to pure luck, politics, or backbreaking work. But in most cases these factors have nothing to do with it. Author Brian Tracy lets us in on the true secret of high achievers: They know how to find their focal point--the one thing they should do, at any given moment, to get the best possible results in each area of their lives. In this powerful guide, Tracy brings together the very best ideas on personal management into a simple, easy-to-use plan. Focal Point helps readers analyze their lives in seven key areas and shows them how to develop goals and plans in each. This book answers those nagging questions that haunt us throughout our lives: * "How can I get control of my time and my life?" * "How can I achieve maximum career success and still balance my personal life?" * "How can I handle it all and still be happy and fulfilled?" Tracy provides timeless truths that have been discovered by effective people throughout the ages. He shows how to develop absolute clarity about who you are, what you want, and exactly how you can move quickly toward accomplishing those goals that bring you the highest level of personal satisfaction. Readers who follow these simple steps will accomplish more in the next couple of years than most people achieve in a lifetime!

 For a book called Focal Point, it's a bit unfocused.
I thought I would get "A proven system to simplify my life, double my productivity, and achieve all my goals".
But there was not such a system available in the book.
What there was was a bunch of platitudes and anecdotes with a few good ideas thrown in for good measure. There was no discernible structure to this book, nor did I know what I should do once I finished the book... Brian Tracy is a great motivator, but he's not great at creating actionable content.

Excellent book. If you want to excell, then this is your book. If you want more productivity with less hours worked, then this is your book. You can't miss reading the principles whether you are corporate or entrepreneur or whether you are a sales person by trade or not. Being your personal best is what this book is all about.
 For the beginners
Simple, clear and understandable.
I'd recommend it to read to everybody in the beginning of their studies or carreer. Currently unemployed - also recommended, will help you to get yourself together and take more responsibility of your life.
The rest - do not bother, there will not be any surprises for you.
Fabulous book
I recommend this read for anyone trying to figure out their priorities in life and how to achieve them.
Foundational Learning for a Personal Development Journey
I found "Focal Point" by Brian Tracy very down to earth in its presentation of ideas, technology for improvement, goal setting, life's planning, Vision and Purpose development. Well worth the read and time invested. Use a good hi-lighter and take notes.
This is a fast read of 201 pages consisting of 12 well designed chapters, a very well developed Appendix and Index in the back. I will admit much of the information is pretty basic as compared to the advancements in personal development and self-improvement technologies since the initial publication of this book in 2002.
I did appreciate his methods for self discovery, simplification methods to life's challenges, and probing, thought provoking self-examination questions. Gives one a new perspective on their current, past, and future situations. Again, the primary point of this book is we each have the ultimate power to determine the success and failure in our lives. The only way outside forces change our circumstance is if we give them permission to have such power over us.
For one on a continuous journey of personal development, I recommend this book for your personal libraries as it adds value to your foundation and frame of reference.
