Brian Tracy is without a doubt the best peak performance coach, personal development trainer in the world today, bar none. Nobody packs as much information, make that practical information as does Tracy.
This book reads like a seminar. It begins by explaining the seven key elements of gaol setting and the 12 steps that are necessary to set and accomplish goals of any size. Each chapter provides a series of goals on any size. Each chapter provides a series of practical, proven steps that individuals can use to be more effective in moving rapidly toward their chosen objectives.
Brian Tracy shows you how to build your self esteem and self-confidence, how to approach every problem or obstacle effectively, how to overcome difficulties, respond to challenges, and continue forward toward your goals, no matter what happens.
In Goals, Brian Tracy breaks through the fog of contradictory ideas on goal setting and provides a proven system for achievement that you will be able to use for the rest of your life.
Another thing that I like about this book is that these are the same strategies and techniques that Brian Tracy used to to take himself from rags to riches and he explains the principles thoroughly in this book.
Goals is 22 chapters and nearly 300 pages of fact filled information. The final chapter offers a summary. The section titled: The day that turned my life around reveals the importance of goals and in particular the role that goal setting played in helping Brian and his hundreds of thousands of happy and successful students.
Goals was one of the two best books I read recently. The other being The 7 Step Method To Building a $1,000,000 Network Marketing Dynasty by Dr. Joe Rubino, probably the best book ever written on network marketing. |

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. |

I can't say enough about this book. I personally began studying personal development some 15 years ago and it made a major change in my life. Goals setting being one of those focus areas. As always Brian breaks it down into some very specific and actionable areas so that anyone from simple man to senator to senior can take action today and start creating the vision of the life they desire - then take that daily action to bring that vision into thier reality. Brian's book was well dont that I re-evaluated how I had been doing my own personal goal setting for year and I revamped it to include many of the tips & techniques his give in this book. These have made a Huge difference in my life. I began to begin my vision into my reality with some blinding speed. If your looking for a way to put your dreams on paper and make them become a part of your reality then I would HIGHLY suggest you read this book.
In addtion I would also suggest you check out other books on goal setting as well - many are very similar but a many will give you one or two more ideas to add to your personal development arsenal - further empowering you. I personally am writing such a book. This book will focus on the not only why to set goals but more importantly how to set goals that motivate and captivate. In addition it will give some important guidance on how to achieve those goals once you have them set. |

Brian Tracy is one of the true pioneers in the field of achieving one's dreams. Consquently it is not surprising that much of what he says about goal setting in this book sounds familiar: lots of people have adopted these ideas over time. HOWEVER, Renaissance Souls like me (people with too many interests to choose just one) will get more from Tracy's material if we keep two things in mind. First, that we need to set our goal deadlines for a comparativly short period of time, six to eighteen months rather than six to eighteen years, because the new interests we inevitably develop in the shorter time frames will involve different goals. Second, we shouldn't forget that having too many choices (goals picked) can be as paralyzing for us as only getting to pick one. So yes, we should have goals in different ares of our lives, as Tracy suggests, but not ten in each one or we'll feel too overwhelmed to really use Tracy's method. |

I am very familiar with Brian Tracys' writings in the area of achievement, selling and success. I found this book compelling and not to be read quickly as I wanted to actually mull over every paragraph. I am a network marketer working from home and I found the right now sense of urgency focus of the book to be what I needed to to re-focus on achieving results through a process. This is not the type of book that you read and forget about days, weeks or months after reading it. This is the type of book that you will find the need to mark, highlight reflect and meditate on. Each chapter keeps you coming back for more. The information gives you a systematic manner to achieve results right away. It makes you want to employ the ideas and concepts in the book. My library is filled with great motivation and success material from many other leading authors. This book by far if I was forced to give up all others would be one that I would have to keep. Since getting less than half way through the book, I have already begun to really take action and do what Mr. Tracy says to do, and I am actually seeing positive results that I can measure. |

Tracy's colorful quips and cheerleading helps people think in big, exciting terms. In the first three chapters, he quotes or cites himself, sales trainer Tom Hopkins, Mark McCormack, Victor Frankl (founder of logotherapy), Aristotle, Stanford University, billionaire H. L. Hunt, motivational speaker Zig Ziglar, Alexander Graham Bell, Eleanor Roosevelt, Buddy Hackett, Gary Zukav, James Allen, Edward Banfield, peak performer Charles Garfield, and Peter Drucker - an eclectic mix of anecdotes and attributions. But there is not much substance or structure. There are plenty of clichs like, "How do you eat an elephant?" Answer: "One bite at a time."
He is brief if a bit too cheerful. For example, in Chapter Six, "Decide your major definite purpose," his short paragraphs include headings like "Activate your Reticular Cortex," "Red Sports Car," "Achieve Financial Independence," "Keep Your Feet on the Ground," "Don't Sabotage Yourself," and "Be Willing to Pay the Price."
He recommends writing goals in the present tense but including a deadline, creating awkward conceptualizations of this sort: "I earn an average of $5,000 a month by December 31." You need to be persistent but flexible, full of dreams but also practical. Dependability is your most important trait but there are many others cited as important, key or critical: your ability to set goals and make plans, a sense of control, the practice of single handling, dedication, vision, visualization, e.g., "ability to visualize is perhaps the most important faculty that you possess."
His conclusions are twenty-one steps, which follow directly from his chapter titles, beginning with "Unlock your potential," "Take charge of your life," "Create your own future," and ending with "Unlock your inborn creativity," "Do something every day," and "Persist until you succeed." Perhaps you just need to read the conculsions.
The book is more about the subtitle "How to get everything you want - faster than you ever thought possible," than it is about goals, goal setting, or developing an enduring goal-setting strategy. There is plenty of stimulation for the unread and moving stories about the author's own path to success.

This is far more important than anything you'll ever learn in school. By defining values first and then goals based on your values you can accomplish more in a few years than most people accomplish in their whole lives. A study of Yale graduates found that towards the end of their lives the 3% with clearly defined goals were worth more than the other 97% combined. Your goals don't have to be only financial. Every child should learn this in grade school. Brian Tracy is also my favorite "Self Improvement" person. I bought this for myself and then sent other copies to people I know. The reason setting goals and writing them down is so imporant is because most people wander through life with only a vague idea of what they want and how to get it. By writing it out, reviewing, changing, etc, you are always focused on what is most important. The subconscious mind is VERY powerful. |
