About This Book
This is not a book of good ideas. This is a book of timeless principles used by successful men and women throughout history. The principles and techniques always work – all you have to do is put them to work for you. The principles are presented in an order that builds one upon the other. They are like the numbers in a combination lock – you need all the numbers, and you need them in the right order. If you know the combination, the lock has to open for you. Keep asking yourself, Am I currently practicing them? If not, make a commitment to put them into action – now!
Life is like a combination lock; your job is to find the right numbers, in the right order, so you can have anything you want. -Brian Tracy
If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. -Thomas A. Edison
The opposite of success is not failure, it is mediocrity. Failure is actually part of the success process. -Randy Gage
You can’t find your passion by thinking about it in your head. Why? Because clarity comes from engagement, not thoughts. Stop thinking and start doing.
Passion is not something that exists outside of yourself. The real secret to this whole finding your passion thing is that you have to train yourself to bring passion to everything that you do.
What are the ideas, strategies or elements you need to put into your life to get to the next level?
#1. Consciousness
Consciousness means consciously designing your life, deciding who you are, deciding where you’re going to go and what you really want to accomplish.
#2. Competence
Study, pay attention, learn from the best and model the most intelligent, smart, successful people you can in any given area that you want to succeed in, in your life before you get into it. Then develop competency by doing it over and over and over again.
Brian Tracy provides a simple seven-step formula for setting and achieving goals in the book The 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires.
- Decide exactly what you want in each area of your life, especially in your financial life. Most people never do this.
- Write down your goals clearly and specifically. Something amazing happens between your head and your hand when you put your goals in writing.
- Set a deadline for each goal. Set subdeadlines if a goal is big enough. Give yourself a target to aim at.
- Make a list of everything you can think of that you will have to do to achieve each goal. As you think of new ideas, add them to your list until it is complete.
- Organize your list into a plan of action. Determine what you are going to do first and what you will do later. Decide what is more important and what is less important.
- Take action on your plan immediately. It is amazing how many splendid goals and plans are never realized because of procrastination and delay.
- Do something every day that moves you at least one step closer to your most important goal. This commitment to daily action will make you a big success in anything you decide to accomplish.
