Brian Tracy Quotes

Your ability to set goals and to make plans for their accomplishment is the master skill of success.

If you really know... what you want and how to get there, then everything else really falls into place.

Set ambitious goals and don't be afraid to declare and aim for them. You need to know where you want to go in order to get there. It is important to have a destination in mind.

There's nothing wrong with knowing what you want and going after it.

The man who actually knows just what he wants in life has already gone a long way toward attaining it.

A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there.

To experience the satisfaction and enjoyment of success in life, a definitive goal is essential. Many people fail at this vital point. The goal must be definite and specific, not in any sense vague or fuzzy. And to prove attainable, its image needs to be sharpened and resharpened continually, so that it stands out vividly in your thoughts. You must know, at all times, precisely and for certain what it is you want to accomplish and achieve. Strong and organized purposefulness toward a definite objective will focus your powers into a strong motivation in attainment of your goal.

If you don't set goals, you'll never reach them. Or like they say in golf, if you aim for nothing, you'll hit it every time. Take any player in the major leagues: I'd say just about everyone of them had a dream - a goal - to be a big-leaguer when they were kids. It wasn't an easy goal, but it was a reachable one, and that's important.

Success is predictable.

The more accurately you can think about who you are, what you want to accomplish and how to accomplish it, the more successful you will be.

The question is not whether the formula for success will work, but rather whether the person will work the formula.

You have to quit confusing a madness with a mission.

Be clear about what you want to accomplish, and whether the circumstances surrounding you are actively helping you toward the goal.

I never feared about my skills because I put in the work. Work ethic eliminates fear. So if you put forth the work, what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not.

Don’t aim for perfection, aim for success.

Definiteness of purpose with positive mental attitude is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement.

Champions get what they want because they know what they want. They have a vision that keeps them motivated and efficiently on track. They see it, feel it, and experience it in their minds and hearts. What is success for you? You won't get there without knowing what it feels and looks like.

Get clear on what you want. Then find the people to support you to get it.

When we deliberate it is about means and not ends.

I always say there are two things to be successful. The first is decide exactly what you want - set your goals - and then determine how you will achieve them (what skills you will have to learn, what actions will you have to take). And these are totally under your control. These are not dependent upon anyone else.

The secret of success is to make your mind work for you - not against you. This means constantly being positive, constantly setting up challenges you can meet - either today, next week, or next month etc.

Your ability to set and achieve goals is perhaps the most important skill you can ever develop.

The key of success is for you to set one big, challenging goal and then to pay any price, overcome any obstacle and persist through any difficulty until you finally achieve it

Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.

Know what you want to do, because if you don't know what you want to do, you'll get stuck.
