Book Description
Based on more than 20 years of experience and 40 years of research, this book presents a completely updated practical, and proven strategy for creating and meeting goals that has been used by more than 1 million people already in its first edition. Author Brian Tracy again explores the seven key elements of goal setting and the 12 steps necessary to set and accomplish goals of any size. Using his trademark simple language and real-life examples, Tracy shows how to do the crucial work of determining one's strengths, values, and true goals. He explains further how to build the self-esteem and confidence necessary for achievement; how to overpower every problem or obstacle; how to overcome difficulties; how to respond to challenges; and how to continue moving forward no matter what happens. In this revised and expanded second edition Tracy has added three new chapters addressing areas in which goals can be most rewarding but also the toughest to set and keep: finances, family, and health. Goals! breaks through the fog of contradictory ideas on goal setting and provides a proven system for achievement that you will be able to use for the rest of your life.

Too many words to say what needs to be said,
By A Customer
This review is from: Goals!: How to Get Everything You Want-Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible (Hardcover)
I actually like this book, and recommend it highly to anyone feeling like they need to set goals. The problem I have with this book is that Tracy spends a lot of time saying some very simple things like how our view of ourselves are often wrong. I also notice that when Tracy writes about goals he assumes that everyone has a goal of increasing their income. Granted, we could probably all find a use for more money whether for ourselves or to help others, but the assumption isn't necessarily true and I find it occassionally distracting while reading. He makes statements about us obviously having goals to make more money when in actuality many may just want to have more friends, be healthier, etc. In fact, a balanced approach is far better for us anyway. Tracy tends to have a biased approach toward making more money, probably based on his years as a salesman in search of a quota.

Cheerful coaching for the road to success,
By Peter Lorenzi (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Goals!: How to Get Everything You Want-Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible (Hardcover)
Tracy's colorful quips and cheerleading helps people think in big, exciting terms. In the first three chapters, he quotes or cites himself, sales trainer Tom Hopkins, Mark McCormack, Victor Frankl (founder of logotherapy), Aristotle, Stanford University, billionaire H. L. Hunt, motivational speaker Zig Ziglar, Alexander Graham Bell, Eleanor Roosevelt, Buddy Hackett, Gary Zukav, James Allen, Edward Banfield, peak performer Charles Garfield, and Peter Drucker - an eclectic mix of anecdotes and attributions. But there is not much substance or structure. There are plenty of clichés like, "How do you eat an elephant?" Answer: "One bite at a time."He is brief if a bit too cheerful. For example, in Chapter Six, "Decide your major definite purpose," his short paragraphs include headings like "Activate your Reticular Cortex," "Red Sports Car," "Achieve Financial Independence," "Keep Your Feet on the Ground," "Don't Sabotage Yourself," and "Be Willing to Pay the Price." He recommends writing goals in the present tense but including a deadline, creating awkward conceptualizations of this sort: "I earn an average of $5,000 a month by December 31." You need to be persistent but flexible, full of dreams but also practical. Dependability is your most important trait but there are many others cited as important, key or critical: your ability to set goals and make plans, a sense of control, the practice of single handling, dedication, vision, visualization, e.g., "ability to visualize is perhaps the most important faculty that you possess." His conclusions are twenty-one steps, which follow directly from his chapter titles, beginning with "Unlock your potential," "Take charge of your life," "Create your own future," and ending with "Unlock your inborn creativity," "Do something every day," and "Persist until you succeed." Perhaps you just need to read the conculsions. The book is more about the subtitle "How to get everything you want - faster than you ever thought possible," than it is about goals, goal setting, or developing an enduring goal-setting strategy. There is plenty of stimulation for the unread and moving stories about the author's own path to success.

Perfect For The Procrastinator,
By Glenn Simon Inc "Writer of Edmonton Real Esta... (Edmonton, Alberta / Tochigi, Japan) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Goals!: How to Get Everything You Want Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible (Paperback)
As far as I am concerned Brian Tracy can do no wrong. This book does not fail to satisfy. From the procrastinator to the dedicated goal setter there is something in this book for everyone. The advice is easily applied and you WILL notice a difference in your output when you apply his great advice. It's short enough to read quite frequently but long enough to get the meaty substance to keep you thinking for a while.Danielle Millar, Glenn Simon Inc.
