I sometimes feel silly reading these self-improvement books, but they have a time and a place, and like many I attribute much improvement to David Allen's Getting Things Done. Good, basic advice. Focus on action, manage time (important trumps urgent sometimes), build relationships, and know that your dependability is key. I did find that the cited infamous Mark McCormack Harvard goal study seems to be a myth; see http://sidsavara.com/personal-productivity/fact-or-fiction-the-truth-about-the-h.... This is a book I’m bound to return to again and again, one of my personal seven pillars of wisdom in life. I believe goal-setting works, and this has to be the bible of doing it. So full of good ideas and inspiration for the eager, if maybe susceptible, mind that even writing this makes me want to go and pick it up for another idea. Because I managed to get through most of this sitting by the pool and reflecting on career, I came back with a positive drive to start changing things that I want to. Which I have started, but it’s not easy, and therefore I’m sure that I’ll be needing this book to hand this year to see if I can really move things forward to a new dimension. no reviews | add a review

Why do some people achieve all their goals while others simply dream of having a better life? Bestselling author Brian Tracy shows that the path from frustration to fulfillment has already been discovered. Hundreds of thousands-even millions-of men and women have started with nothing and achieved great success. Here Tracy presents the essential principles you need to know to make your dreams come true. Tracy presents a simple, powerful, and effective system for setting and achieving goals-a method that has been used by more than one million people to achieve extraordinary things. In this revised and expanded second edition he 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. Using the twenty-one strategies Tracy outlines, you'll be able to accomplish any goals you set for yourself-no matter how big. You'll discover how to determine your own strengths, what you truly value in life, and what you really want to accomplish in the years ahead. Tracy shows how to build your self-esteem and self-confidence, approach every problem or obstacle effectively, overcome difficulties, respond to challenges, and continue forward toward your goals, no matter what happens. Most importantly, you'll learn a system for achievement that you will use for the rest of your life. No library descriptions found. |

I would say that goals are important and that working on the goals that you want to achieve are more important than those set by the people around you who try to convince you to do what they say because they are right.
Live your own life and by own standards. Do not live the life of someone smarter or better financially than you. One day your goals will come to pass! ( )
