Many Stars that shine
I have listened to and admired Brian Tracy for years and have often wondered where he came from.He is so confident and self assured.And most of all extremely knowledgable about people and sales. Some of us go to the college of hard knocks instead of the University however Brian put those experiences to awesome use.It was nice to get to know him starting out along the path to success.
I urge anyone who is a seeker to read this. I hope he continues the story .

Uncanny reading
I read this book through in less than one day and found it essentially a pleasant adventure story with one very important message: you can be a naive idiot and still succeed if you have the correct attitude and strength. Brian and his colleagues made many undisputedly stupid decisions which burnt their fingers. However their response to the consequences was what saw them through. This message has value, since we all make less than perfect decisions on a regular basis (those of us who venture to actively make decisions, that is!). Brian Tracey hammers home that we should continue to make decisions even if it is apparent we are making wrong ones and proposes an attitude toward this, via the parable of his book. Sometimes the book did seem to read a "truism" into every event, and often these "truisms" would contradict each other. I felt there was too much of this and it was not pointed out strongly enough that, sometimes, both "too many cooks spoil the broth" and "many hands make light work" could apply - it is up to one's judgement which has most weight in a given situation.
Generally a good read, and one I could relate to with my own life. Don't take every word of wisdom too seriously, but enjoy Brian's very good writing hand, and I hope you (as I did) will gain something worthwhile in terms of attitude from this tale.

Tracy is King
When it comes to motivational speaking and writing, nobody tops Tracy. Personally, motivation doesn't do much for me. Instead, I read stories of what NOT to do in business, like what they have on the Not Yet Successful Entrepreneur Zone.... Similar Products
