Brian Tracy - A Legend
MY REFLECTIONS
In the world, many great humans have come and created an immense
impression through their works. Their works have uplifted as well as enriched
the life of millions of humans around. Their works inspire others to come out
of their comfort zones and start pushing their limit.
Of all these sublime human soul, Brian Tracy is one of my favourites. He
not only instruct the fundamental principles of life and success but also he
does it most simplistically. His books are written in such a plain insight that
sometimes I doubted they really work or not? But they always do. His researches
and readings on success and personal development can be proved the backbone for
anyone who wants to be successful in life. Just Try this man’s works. I am sure
the life would change- for sure.

HARD TIMES & STRUGGLE
Brian Tracy grew up in a poor family and had to wear
charity store clothes. After dropping out of school he worked in a
succession of laboring jobs, living in boarding houses. At 21 he found work on
a Norwegian freighter ship and travelled around the world, but two years later
was back laboring and doing some commission selling.
Though
not an outward success, Tracy had always been interested in the question,
"What makes some people successful and others not?" As a freshly
minted salesman, he started to read voraciously on selling techniques and what
makes the best salespeople the best. He copied what they did, and slowly, his
results improved. Six months later he was the top salesperson in his company.
When
he moved into management, he read everything he could on managing people and
built a large sales organization across several countries. Entering the real
estate industry, he "hit the books again" and talked to successful
developers. His first project was financing, building and leasing out a
three-million dollar shopping center. At night Tracy completed a high school diploma,
and eventually gained entry to an MBA program to study business theory and
marketing, which enabled him to become a management consultant. To learn about
happiness, he read what he could find on metaphysics, psychology and
motivation, and when he married learned all he could about parenting. To get a
sense of perspective, and find out why some countries were rich and others
poor, he read widely on history, economics and politics.
After two decades
of thinking about the question, "What makes some people more successful
than others?" Tracy decided to put everything he knew into a 'success
system' which could help others. He designed a seminar, but it took about three
years to really catch on. Then he released an audiotape program, The
Psychology of Achievement, which went on to sell half a million copies.
