Goals! How to Get Everything You Want Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible Audio CD – Audiobook, January 7, 2004

I give this book a 4 because I feel that it is more for the outside worker than it is for an indepentpent worker. I found a lot that seemed to be for the worker who has a "boss" than me being my own boss. However, I read the book through, then reread it looking more into it. I did come across things that I feel will help as long as followed through. The tasks are reasonable in doing. Does it seem hard to make a list of things to accomplish today? Right there you have set goals and followed through. There is a lot more in there, it will help you go from daily goals to weekly, monthly and yearly goals. I would recommend that purchasing his book "Eat That Frog!", they go hand in hand. Both books set on my desk and get looked at daily, to make sure I am following through and creating better habits of myself, to make better habits for my sales. Goals!, will get you going, teaching how to go get your sales instead of waiting and hoping for them to just come to you.

This is the most important book I have ever read in terms of personal development. I have an MBA from on of the top business schools in the country. Yet, the material in this book is worth ten times the tuition I paid to earn that degree--it's that good!! It was recommended to me by one of my best friends. After listening to the audio CD, I can see why. What Brian Tracy does is so much more than what the title implies. He challenges the reader by asking profoundly introspective questions that dig deep into your personal psyche--especially in Chapter Two. This book literally grabbed me by the throat because (1) it is extremely valuable advice, the kind of wisdom that a father would give to a son or mother to a daughter; and (2) it motivated me to achieve some goals that I had within myself that I thought were impossible. This book is a must-read for anyone who views themselve as a high-achiever. If you are someone who is comfortable with mediocrity, don't read this book. Goals! is the kind of book I wish I had read when I was a teenager in high-school or college. If this book doesn't light a fire within you belly to achieve your fullest potential, then nothing else will. Highly recommended...

If you want to be truly successful, you really must read this book. It will show you how to get everything you want, faster than you ever thought possible. The ideas contained in this book will save you years of hard work in achieving the goals that are the most important to you. Mr Brian Tracy, the author of this book, wrote that if he were given 1 minute to advise people how to achieve their goals very rapidly, his advise will be, "Write down your goals, write plans to achieve them, and work on your plan every single day". Indeed, success is goals, and all else is commnentary. This book is very easy and enjoyable to read. It is fraught by 21 inspiring sounded chapters. Each chapter provides a series of practical, proven steps that individuals can use to be more effective in moving rapidly toward their chosen objectives. The chapters will show you how to build your self-esteem and self-confidence, how to approach every problem or obstacle effectively, how to overcome difficulties, respond to challenges and continue forward toward your goals, no matter what happens. The 3 hours you will spend to read this book will be the best 3 hour investment of your life.

I think Tracy's Eat That Frog is the better guide if you know what you want in life but find yourself putting it off or getting distracted. This book does a lot more to help one determine what they want, plan for it and consider the possibilities. Its very similar to Eat that Frog but he takes a lot more time with the reader.Either way, Tracy is an extremely enthusiastic writer who gets you to consider your possibilities and plan for things that seemed impossible.

I am a high school teacher, and this is the best book on goals I ever read. I have read and highlighted so many useful points in this book.Be prepared to change the way you think about your life. Be prepared to focus more on the things you want in life versus the things you are wishing for.One idea I found extremely helpful is to write your goals daily. This helps you to hone in on what is really important to your future.

I have never really written my goals, but after reading this book I have started to and I can already see the difference it makes in my discipline and persistence in attaining my desired goals. Whenever I am tempted to go astray, I can visualize my goals on paper and they might as well be etched in stone. Before, I could just delude myself and compromise but not anymore. I would recommend this book to anyone that really wants to succeed in every aspect of life.

So far the best book on psychology of setting goals I ever read. As soon as I began to diligently follow Brian Tracy's instructions in this book, things began to change for good, often my in a most unexpected, and mysterious ways, and this is just the beginning. I am excited!Thank you Brian!

Brian Tracy rocks! Get you life together and read this! Really, I"m serious, listen in your car and in your study and on your computer.Brian Tracy rocks! Get you life together and read this!Brian Tracy rocks! Get you life together and read this!Brian Tracy rocks! Get you life together and read this!

I have read and more importantly done some of these exercises after each chapter, my life has changed so much after reading this book 4 years ago I've ticked off some of the things on my list that I used to hope and wish for... my regular quote used to be someday.This book is worth its weight in gold. Just by reading and applying these principles you will automatically move into the top 10% of performers and then eventually into the top 3%. People will say things like, I wish I could do something like that, this book is the best present you can give yourself or anyone, give to a teenager or someone at studying for a head start on life.Also check out a video program by Jim Rohn on youtube called how to have your best year ever, these 2 compliment each other so well and have helped me more than words can describe.

I purchased this book to improve my goal setting, reviewing etc. as per my nutritional therapy degree PDP requirements. It is easy to read - I read it in 5 days just while walking my dog. Although most of it is obvious and we all know it, or think we do, it is very motivational. The repetition,I believe, is essential to drive home the facts. After all, that is the way we all learn, but even so, it could have been vastly condensed in length while still getting the message across. There are good chapters on values, beliefs, measuring progress, planning, time management, reviewing, visualizing, flexibility and persistence, although I was surprised not to see S.M.A.R.T actually written. Brian Tracy's book 'Maximum Achievement' covers much more, although it is not just about goals, and is a book I have read twice already. 'Goals' adds to the chapter on goals in 'Maximum Achievement' but, for me, the two books are incomparable regarding content. If you only buy one, buy 'Maximum Achievement'.

This is not just a book on goal setting. It is a book which can help you to neutralise your limiting beliefs and start a way of thinking and planning that becomes a new way of life. The book is logical, easy to read and easy to follow. Its concepts stimulate thought, and it achieves its goal setting objectives by showing how you can find, set, monitor and execute your definite najor purpose in life, if you are serious about self improvement. I have read many self improvement and goal setting books, but this is the one that expands the subject matter into a far reaching sphere impacting on one's way of life. Excellent material brilliantly put together.
