McGraw-Hill Education Ltd Tracy, B: Flight Plan

Brian Tracy is one of the leading authors and speakers in the world on success, motivation and achievement. He is the author of many bestselling books, including Eat That Frog!, Focal Point, Goals! and The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success. The current bestseller by Rhonda Byrne, The Secret, talks about the powerful effects of visualising success and activating the Law of Attraction. But many people are finding out that just thinking about what they want, while it's a good start, isn't enough. It's just the first step. In Flight Plan Brian Tracy reveals the real key ingredients that go into accomplishing any long-term, meaningful success. He shares universal principles and timeless truths that have been discovered and rediscovered through the ages and that all successful people learn and practice. Using the metaphor of an airplane trip from coast to coast, Flight Plan shows that the real secret to success is to first figure out your destination - where you want to go - and lock in on it. Second, you must take off-identify precisely what you must do to achieve the goals you have set for yourself and take action. And third, you must persist through the inevitable challenges and setbacks-by making continual course corrections-until you reach your destination. Tracy observes that any airplane, headed for any destination, will be off course 99 percent of the time because of air turbulence. But, by locking in on its destination, taking off, and making continual course corrections, the plane will arrive as scheduled. The same is true of people's journey through life.
