Feed Yourself Mental Pictures ~ Brian Tracy
See yourself living the kind of life that you want to live. See yourself with the kind of relationships, the kind of health, the kind of car, the kind of home you really want. Visualize just before you fall asleep at night. The first thing you do when you get up in the morning is to feed yourself mental pictures. Those are the two times of the day when your subconscious mind is most receptive to new programming, when you fall asleep and when you wake up.
- You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you .Brian Tracy
- ►• Practice Detachment – excerpted from article Forging Your Self-Confidence… It’s important to remember that no one can affect your thoughts or feelings unless there is something that you want from him, or something that you want him to refrain from doing. As soon as you begin to practice detachment and decide in your own mind that there is nothing that you want or expect from another person, you will find that his ability to shake your self-confidence is greatly reduced. The people who are the most successful in human relationships are those who practice a calm, healthy detachment from others, and although they are friendly and engaged in the conversation, they don’t allow the behaviors of others to determine how they think and feel about themselves.
- As you can see, it is our fears and doubts that, more than anything else, undermine our self-esteem and self-confidence and cause us to think in negative terms about ourselves and our possibilities. As Maslow said, we begin to “sell ourselves short” and see all the reasons why something might not be possible for us. We magnify the difficulties and minimize the opportunities. We become preoccupied with the possible losses we might suffer and the possible criticisms we might endure. Our fears and doubts paralyze us, preventing us from acting boldly, lowering our self-confidence and causing us to think and talk in negative terms. In fact, this probably describes the great majority of mankind. Most people are so preoccupied with their fears that they have time for little else, and this preoccupation manifests itself in much of what they say and do.

3 Ways to Increase Your Planning Skills, Stay Focused and Stop Procrastinating
“Deadlines Are an Excuse…Many people say that they work better under the pressure of deadlines. Unfortunately, years of research indicate that this is seldom true.
It is much better to better your planning skills, and then build in a sizable buffer to compensate for unexpected delays and diversions. However much time you think a task will take, add on another 20% or more, or make a game of getting in done well in advance of the deadline. You will be amazed at how much more relaxed you are, and how much better a job you do when you stop procrastinating”

THE POWER OF SELF-DISCIPLINE - _______________
Zero Based Thinking
Brian Tracy uses this concept in most of his books and seminars. To evaluate a situation one considers the following question. Knowing what I now know, would I get into this business/job/situation again? If the answer is yes, then continue your evaluation of the situation and make relevant changes. But, if the answer is no, then the next step should be to get out of the situation as fast as possible, i.e. going back to zero; to before the situation started; to the topmost square of the snakes and ladders game and starting from scratch; start afresh. More information about his books and seminars is available on his website : BrianTracy.com.

THE POWER OF SELF DISCIPLINE
- Do you find yourself constantly organizing your life and working to minimize surprises and problems, but can never seem to stay one step ahead? In spite of your best efforts, this is not always possible.
Are you already facing a fear- or worry-inducing situation? Don’t panic. Here are the four steps of what we refer to as the “worry buster.”
Clarity is Everything
Step Number One: Define the worry situation clearly in writing – fully half of all problems can be solved just by clearly defining them. Remember, “Accurate diagnosis is half the cure.”
Determine the Worst
Step Number Two: Determine the worst possible outcome of the situation. What is the absolute worst that can happen?
Be Willing to Have it So
Step Number Three: Resolve to accept the worst should it occur. The first step in dealing with any negative situation is to be willing to have it so. Once you resolve to accept the worst, your mind will become calm and clear and you’ll be ready to take some constructive action.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All From Brian Tracy:
- The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.
- The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility for every part of their life.
- Relationships are the hallmark of the mature person.
- Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
- Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.
- Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.
- Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true.
- People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.
- All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
- Communication is a skill that you can learn. It’s like riding a bicycle or typing. If you’re willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.
- I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.
- If what you are doing is not moving you towards your goals, then it’s moving you away from your goals.
- If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development.
- Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to guarantee your future.
- It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.
- Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.
- Only by contending with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to handle at the moment you can grow more surely toward the stars.
- Practice Golden-Rule 1 of Management in everything you do. Manage others the way you would like to be managed.
- Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. * Unsuccessful people are always asking, “What’s in it for me?”
Successful people are simply those with successful habits. - Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.
- The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.
- The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you.
- The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire.
- The person we believe ourselves to be will always act in a manner consistent with our self-image.
- Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future.
- We will always tend to fulfill our own expectation of ourselves.
- Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.
- Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.
- Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience.
- Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event.
- You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those standards.
- You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.
- You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.
- important to remember that no one can affect your thoughts or feelings unless there is something that you want from him, or something that you want him to refrain from doing. As soon as you begin to practice detachment and decide in your own mind that there is nothing that you want or expect from another person, you will find that his ability to shake your self-confidence is greatly reduced. The people who are the most successful in human relationships are those who practice a calm, healthy detachment from others, and although they are friendly and engaged in the conversation, they don’t allow the behaviors of others to determine how they think and feel about themselves.

Our fears and doubts paralyze us, preventing us from acting boldly, lowering our self-confidence and causing us to think and talk in negative terms. In fact, this probably describes the great majority of mankind. Most people are so preoccupied with their fears that they have time for little else, and this preoccupation manifests itself in much of what they say and do.
- You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.
- Your company’s most valuable asset is how it is known to its customers.
- Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.
- No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.

3 How to Identify Your Goals
By Brian Tracy
Here are seven goal-setting questions for you to ask and answer over and over again. I suggest that you take a pad of paper and write out your responses.
- Question Number One:
What are your five most important values in life?
This question is intended to help you clarify what is really important to you, and by extension, what is less important, or unimportant. Once you have identified the five most important values in life for you, organize them in order of priority, from number one, the most important, through number five. - Question Number Two:
What are your three most important goals in life, right now?
This is called the “quick list” method. When you only have thirty seconds to write down your three most important goals, your subconscious mind sorts out your many goals quickly. Your top three will just pop into your conscious mind. With only thirty seconds, you will be as accurate as if you had thirty minutes. - Question Number Three:
What would you do, how would you spend your time, if you learned today that you only had six months to live?
This is another value questions to help you clarify what is really important to you. When your time is limited, even if only in your imagination, you become aware of who and what you really care about. - Question Number Four:
What would you do if you won a million dollars cash, tax free, in the lottery tomorrow?
How would you change your life? What would you buy? What would you start doing, or stop doing? This is really a question to help you decide what you’d do if you had all the time and money you need, and if you had virtually no fear of failure at all. - Question Number Five:
What have you always wanted to do, but been afraid to attempt?
This question helps you see more clearly where your fears could be blocking you from doing what you really want to do. - Question Number Six:
What do you most enjoy doing? What gives you your greatest feeling of self-esteem and personal satisfaction?
This is another values question that may indicate where you should explore to find your “heart’s desire.” You will always be most happy doing what you most love to do, and what you most love to do is invariably the activity that makes you feel the most alive and fulfilled. The most successful men and women in America are invariably doing what they really enjoy, most of the time. - Question Number Seven:
What one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew you would not fail?
Imagine that a genie appears and grants you one wish. The genie guarantees that you will be absolutely, completely successful in any one thing that you attempt to do, big or small, short or long-term. If you were absolutely guaranteed success in any one thing, what one exciting goal would you set for yourself?
Action Exercise
Study the pad of paper that you used to answer these questions. This paper represents your future goals. Look at what you wrote every day and shape your life the way you see it on that paper.
Now, an important question..If you could only accomplish one of your many goals, what would it be?

5 Great Quotes for Productivity by Brian Tracy
[1] “A great life or a great career is built by performing one task at a time, quickly and well, and then going on to the next task.”
[2] “Whatever you have to do, there is always a limiting factor that determines how quickly and well you get it done. Your job is to study the task and identify the limiting factor or constraint within it. You must then focus all of your energies on alleviating that single choke point.”
[3] “One of the most important requirements for being happy and productive is for you to guard and nurture your energy levels at all times.”
[4] “Once you have decided on your number one task, anything else that you do other than that is a relative waste of time”
[5] “Your most important tasks and priorities are those that can have the most serious consequences, positive or negative, on your life or work. Focus on these above all.”

Daily action deepens your belief that the goal is achievable, and activates the Law of Attraction. As a result,you begin moving faster and faster toward your goal, and your goal begins moving faster and faster toward you.

- Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
- Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.
- Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.
- Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true.
- People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.
- All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
- Communication is a skill that you can learn. It’s like riding a bicycle or typing. If you’re willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.
- I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.
- If what you are doing is not moving you towards your goals, then it’s moving you away from your goals.
- If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development.
- Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to guarantee your future.
- It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.
- Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.
- Only by contending with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to handle at the moment you can grow more surely toward the stars.
- Practice Golden-Rule 1 of Management in everything you do. Manage others the way you would like to be managed.
- Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. * Unsuccessful people are always asking, “What’s in it for me?”
Successful people are simply those with successful habits. - Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.
- The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.
- The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you.
- The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire.
- The person we believe ourselves to be will always act in a manner consistent with our self-image.
- Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future.
- We will always tend to fulfill our own expectation of ourselves.
- Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.
- Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.
- Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience.
- Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event.
- You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those standards.
- You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.
- You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.
- important to remember that no one can affect your thoughts or feelings unless there is something that you want from him, or something that you want him to refrain from doing. As soon as you begin to practice detachment and decide in your own mind that there is nothing that you want or expect from another person, you will find that his ability to shake your self-confidence is greatly reduced. The people who are the most successful in human relationships are those who practice a calm, healthy detachment from others, and although they are friendly and engaged in the conversation, they don’t allow the behaviors of others to determine how they think and feel about themselves.
- As you can see, it is our fears and doubts that, more than anything else, undermine our self-esteem and self-confidence and cause us to think in negative terms about ourselves and our possibilities. As Maslow said, we begin to “sell ourselves short” and see all the reasons why something might not be possible for us. We magnify the difficulties and minimize the opportunities. We become preoccupied with the possible losses we might suffer and the possible criticisms we might endure. Our fears and doubts paralyze us, preventing us from acting boldly, lowering our self-confidence and causing us to think and talk in negative terms. In fact, this probably describes the great majority of mankind. Most people are so preoccupied with their fears that they have time for little else, and this preoccupation manifests itself in much of what they say and do.
- You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.
- Your company’s most valuable asset is how it is known to its customers.
- Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.
- No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.

3 How to Identify Your Goals
By Brian Tracy
Here are seven goal-setting questions for you to ask and answer over and over again. I suggest that you take a pad of paper and write out your responses.
- Question Number One:
What are your five most important values in life?
This question is intended to help you clarify what is really important to you, and by extension, what is less important, or unimportant. Once you have identified the five most important values in life for you, organize them in order of priority, from number one, the most important, through number five. - Question Number Two:
What are your three most important goals in life, right now?
This is called the “quick list” method. When you only have thirty seconds to write down your three most important goals, your subconscious mind sorts out your many goals quickly. Your top three will just pop into your conscious mind. With only thirty seconds, you will be as accurate as if you had thirty minutes. - Question Number Three:
What would you do, how would you spend your time, if you learned today that you only had six months to live?
This is another value questions to help you clarify what is really important to you. When your time is limited, even if only in your imagination, you become aware of who and what you really care about. - Question Number Four:
What would you do if you won a million dollars cash, tax free, in the lottery tomorrow?
How would you change your life? What would you buy? What would you start doing, or stop doing? This is really a question to help you decide what you’d do if you had all the time and money you need, and if you had virtually no fear of failure at all. - Question Number Five:
What have you always wanted to do, but been afraid to attempt?
This question helps you see more clearly where your fears could be blocking you from doing what you really want to do. - Question Number Six:
What do you most enjoy doing? What gives you your greatest feeling of self-esteem and personal satisfaction?
This is another values question that may indicate where you should explore to find your “heart’s desire.” You will always be most happy doing what you most love to do, and what you most love to do is invariably the activity that makes you feel the most alive and fulfilled. The most successful men and women in America are invariably doing what they really enjoy, most of the time. - Question Number Seven:
What one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew you would not fail?
Imagine that a genie appears and grants you one wish. The genie guarantees that you will be absolutely, completely successful in any one thing that you attempt to do, big or small, short or long-term. If you were absolutely guaranteed success in any one thing, what one exciting goal would you set for yourself?
Action Exercise
Study the pad of paper that you used to answer these questions. This paper represents your future goals. Look at what you wrote every day and shape your life the way you see it on that paper.
Now, an important question..If you could only accomplish one of your many goals, what would it be?

Q & A with Brian Tracy & Jim Rohn
5 Great Quotes for Productivity by Brian Tracy
[1] “A great life or a great career is built by performing one task at a time, quickly and well, and then going on to the next task.”
[2] “Whatever you have to do, there is always a limiting factor that determines how quickly and well you get it done. Your job is to study the task and identify the limiting factor or constraint within it. You must then focus all of your energies on alleviating that single choke point.”
[3] “One of the most important requirements for being happy and productive is for you to guard and nurture your energy levels at all times.”
[4] “Once you have decided on your number one task, anything else that you do other than that is a relative waste of time”
[5] “Your most important tasks and priorities are those that can have the most serious consequences, positive or negative, on your life or work. Focus on these above all.”
