SUCCESS IS A
JOURNEY
 It began when then 21-year-old Brian Tracy awoke
one day with a powerful dream
-- an unrealistic or impossible illusion for most people his
age who confine themselves to pursuing more practical goals --
to travel the world with his friends and see things no one else
had seen, and it ended in an unexpected and dangerous confrontation
with reality and a struggle for life in the middle of Africa`s
Sahara Desert. He would never be the same again. Many years later
he would recount to his friends and family what he learned that
year about the meaning of life and love, the value of hard work,
and what`s really important when everything else has been stripped
away.
A metaphor for
any success in life, this fast-moving narrative is rich with
insights supplied by the now-older and wiser Brian Tracy who
has become famous worldwide for his expertise on personal and
organizational development. Find out how anyone, drawing upon
this work to find similar lessons in their own life, can go from
poverty and obscurity to wealth and respect, from frustration
and failure to happiness and fulfillment. Learn the simple yet
essential steps you can take right now to achieve the greatness
that lies within you, including:
- Allow yourself
to dream. Translate your dreams into goals and plans.
- Determine your
goal, prepare, then launch -- without expecting immediate success.
- Take it one
step, "one oil barrel," at a time.
- Watch out for
nay-sayers.
- Develop resilience
in advance; resolve to persist in the face of failure.
- Try, try again,
and then try another way. Savor the victory.
- Never give up!
