What you'd expect from B Tracy

If you've ever read any Brian Tray or receive any newsletters from him - it was just what you'd expect. If you're new to Tracy, this is a great foundation text and indicative of what his other works are like. Direct, simple and easy to understand. Tracy doesn't get too deep or meaningful but provides solid advice.

Worth the Price

Much like Dr. Robert Anthony's work, Brian Tracy teaches us that what we think defines our world. However, Tracy is much more accessible and easy to listen to and understand than Anthony's theory laden work. Not only well-thought otu and written, the author reads and conveys his message very well, making his points clearly and concisely, whithout a lot of excess fluff to confuse or distract a casual listener. You'll want to have a pen and paper handy to help implement Tracy's suggestions that do work to help create a better you - and a better world for those around you as well. Highly recommended for those planning to start a new business or career or feel stagnant in their current career. Listen to the book and implement its teaching and you will see success!

Goals: How to Get Everything You Want

Was not what I was expecting. It was more along the line of a motivational type speech rather than an outlined step by step program towards getting everything you want. It would be good for someone who has no concept at all about how and why you create goals.

Very good book!

This book is very good. It spells out many problems people have and gives suggestions how to overcome them. For people with these problems, this book is life-changing. Although, many ideas presented are commonsense, they are good guidelines especially for those who are too busy to spend time formulating the plans themselves.

Goals!: How to Get Everything You Want

Brian Tracy elegantly spells out the requirements that any individual should know to become a goal seeking missile! The information he discusses in this audio book is very well thought out and can hit home plate for most people no matter where they are in their life. Although I am a great fan of Brian Tracy, some may find his verbal presentation similar to a college professor giving a lecture. Be it as it may, his no non-sense approach keeps the listener along for the ride.
