Every week I try to write a new kind of post. Sometimes I want to elaborate on a concept that I have been thinking about. Sometimes I share a moving story with an important moral. Sometimes, like today, I come across a few motivational speakers and their work, and I am eager to share it with my readers. I want the young people who follow this blog to see this space as a source of motivation too!

You may have heard of Brian Tracy. He is a Canadian-American motivational public speaker and self-development author.  He is most famous for his book "Eat that Frog!" and the "The Psychology of Selling" and many more.

In this short formula for "success", Brian Tracy puts forward the traits an entrepreneur needs to develop to become millionaires. But as you will read, you will realise that these are life values applicable to anyone who has a goal in mind.

If you are aiming to be in the category of the top 10% in your field, you need to bring out your best in the areas of knowledge, judgment & efficiency.

3. Concentration

4. Constraints

We all have constraints & weak thread which stops us from reaching our destination. Identifying, locating that bottleneck & plucking out will assure you of success.

I found the one-hour lecture where Brian Tracy himself has expounded on the topic! He is funny and charming throughout the video! I hope you find value in his words.
