Brian Tracy

People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.

Only by contending with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to handle at the moment you can grow more surely toward the stars.

Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event.

I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.

Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost any decision is better than no decision at all.

Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to guarantee your future.

Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future.

All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.

Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience.

Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of evry part of your life.

Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.

Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.

If you like a person you say 'let's go into business together.' Man is a social animal after all, but such partnerships are fraught with danger.

The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance.

The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
