(Throwback Review) If you are someone who is confused about setting your goal, this book will be the perfect choice to read. Brian Tracy discusses in-depth about setting your goal and enlists 12 steps for the same. He doesn't stop after telling us how to set our goals; he also tells us how to achieve them through our attitude, character, and confidence. “A goal, however, is something distinctly different from a wish. It is clear, written, and specific. It can be quickly and easily described to a...

I started reading this book because my mom suggested it. She thought it would be a good book to get me to set good new years resolutions. To be honest, even though this book probably isn’t meant for a 13-year-old kid, it was actually really interesting. The plot of the book; well there really wasn’t a specifically set plot. The book started out with him talking about how he changed his life and how we can all change our life’s if we set reasonable goals. The book also goes over key points on wha...

It took me about six months to get through this book. Not because it was boring or a tough read. I believe a book like this needs to be read when your mind is ready to accept it.Tracy talks about how your mind can postpone certain events in your life. To me, my mind held me up for a while, but certain events occurred in my life that bolted me past the hurdles.I have been using the techniques laid out in this book, and I already feel myself focusing on the things that are most important to me. It...

In this simple book, Brian Tracy offers his suggestions to set up goals and helps the reader in deciding on what he truly wants. According to Tracy, a positive mindset, proper time management and a willingness to keep failing until you get it right is the key to success.

A seemingly disciplined book, realistic and practical on various methods, formulas, and principals, for laws of goal-setting. But it’s basically “Law of Attraction” meets realistic, clearly defined steps, such as calendarizing. The author uses many quotes which are interesting but move it towards being just another carbon copy of similar books. The problem is the simplistic nature of the topic and the book is stretched out too long. It repeats concepts over and over using different words and ter...

This book did not live up to the hype for me. It takes one view of life and promotes it as THE way using just enough science and research to make it sound authoritative. If all you want out of life is money and accomplishment, and one of your primary character strengths is perseverance, then this book will probably be helpful and inspiring, even though it has plenty of things in it that simply aren’t true—like the idea that it’s possible and a good idea to get rid of all negative emotions or tha...

This is a good book if you want to set some good goals. Of course, that's what I wanted to do. And thanks to this book, I now have set some good goals. As you can probably guess this book has a lot to say about setting goals, but it's not just about the tactics and quick tips. It also covers a lot of the psychology of setting goals as well. There is a lot to read and it can get a little convoluted, but the book basically follows these five points: 1. Get in the right frame of mind. Accept comple...

Reading Tracy is like walking through a field of flowers, and every now and then ducking that glorious, exhilarating butterfly. After enough of his books, even the prettiest of flowers might cease to impress, but those butterflies! I've included both: Notes : -------"When you are absolutely clear about your goal, you do not even have to know where it is or how to achieve it. By simply deciding exactly what you want, you will begin to move unerringly toward your goal and your goal will start to m...

I'm not a business person. In fact I'm the opposite of that right now -- a stay-at-home mom. I was skeptical of this book when it was recommended to me because I don't need to "double my income" (twice of nothing is still nothing!) After reading it I see that it is a practical resource for readjusting my focus and my attitude. I am interested in regaining purpose in my day-to-day life. This book really helps with that. Who knows,someday I will be back in the money-making game and this book will

Imagine a book that takes the most basic advice on goal setting and interweaves that with pop-psychology and fails to grapple with reality and you will have imagined this book. If you are looking for a good book about goal setting that grapples with reality, read David Allen's Making It All Work. He has a great chapter on goal setting which also includes advice on transforming your goals into reality. Skip Brian Tracy's work on Goals.

***For more reviews, contests, interviews, book news and more go to my blog: http://theheelshaveeyes.wordpress.comThis is the second Brian Tracy book I have read and he is fast becoming my favourite career advice authors. In this book Tracy discusses the importance of goal setting and what a difference it can make to achieving what it is you want in life.His advice is clear, concise and easy to follow. There are some moments where it gets slightly repetitive and some areas that I thought could h...

Some valuable points but overall not succinctly put, way too many sub-sections for what is an overall simple topic to cover. I stopped paying attention around page 180 as it just started to drag on and essentially be predictable permutations based off the points in the first few chapters. The silver lining to this book is the somewhat inspirational point it makes - essentially everyone (at least if you aren't horribly oppressed) has potential to achieve just about anything they want and 80% of w...

Brian Tracy has written so many books that it is difficult to keep a tab of every book he has ever written. He started by taking workshops for salesman and then wrote books about it. It was all related to how you can get success as a salesperson but later as his knowledge grew so was his knowledge and he now he writes about how to attain success for anyone. Initially, I hated him because he advertises himself too much on the internet but I have to give him credits on one thing, he does it pretty...

This is a great book. Well organized and easy to get through. Brian Tracy comes from a sales background, so if you're in sales, it will especially work for you. If not, it's still worth a look, since the information here applies to anybody who wants to get more accomplished and the goals you set don't have to be anything to do with business.I read a lot and have read a lot of material on this particular subject. Out of everything I've been through, this is the one I'd recommend to friends. It's

To be honest, I haven't gotten through this book. I doubt even if this is the kind of book to get through once and then shelve it done.This is a partner of a book. To keep shelving and unshelving whenever you need it. I'm constantly adopting fragments from it into my daily routine ... and right now, I can honestly say that this is one of the most resourceful books I've ever read.I'm likely to modify this review depending on how things turn out in the future as I take in more with experience.

Good Book. Nice Tips. It would have sufficed to read summarized notes of the authors ideas. Great Plan/ Tips. The one thing that I am have a challenge with these kinds of books is they give you so many steps to do while you are reading it. It would take a month to do all the activities. A great book should be able to be condensed into three great ideas. Otherwise it's too much. I enjoyed the beginning and the end most of all. I will review this book in the future.

I just finished this book a week or two ago and have immediately begun to re-read it. It is packed with incredibly valuable and easily implemented tools to help you identify your goals and make clear plans to reach them. Don't just float through life.Highly recommended.

If you want to know more about setting goals I recommend the book Goals! from Brian Tracy. On this book Brian Tracy guide you through the entire process since clarifying what you want, to helping you measure your progress, create an action plan, manage yourself and set your priorities in order to achieve your goals in a more effective and efficient way.

People often forget why they do the things they do. The words "eyes on the price" don't always hold when your life is very dinamic or you are going through a tough time. I feel so inspired to integrate this book's lessons in my everyday life and see how it could improve my achievements.
