Brian Tracy Quotes

A goal without a plan is a wish. What's your plan? It's on you, because you have to do all the work.

You must plan your work and then work your plan.

Know your priorities and identify the five powerful action steps that you intend to take to move your initiatives forward each day. If you go to a tree with an ax and take five whacks at the tree every day, it doesn't matter if it's an oak or a redwood; eventually, the tree has to fall down.

Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan.

At SBI, we say that if you need a project to be done, you need to be determined that it needs to be done, put a deadline, and it will get done.

Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you'll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don't have a plan. That's why it's easy to beat most folks.

A goal without an action plan is a daydream.

Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

Clarity is the most important thing. I can compare clarity to pruning in gardening. You know, you need to be clear. If you are not clear, nothing is going to happen. You have to be clear. Then you have to be confident about your vision. And after that, you just have to put a lot of work in.

In every aspect of life, have a game plan, and then do your best to achieve it.

Vision without execution is hallucination.

Vision without execution is delusion.

If I focus on the short-term goals, then the long-term goals are going to be in my favor.

Goals that are not written down and developed into plans are like bullets without powder in the cartridge. People with unwritten goals go through life shooting blanks.

If you want to get somewhere in six months, you're not going to get there by wishing it.

I always like to plan ahead of time and follow up.

If you don't execute on your plans, then you don't reach anywhere.

Organize and execute around priorities.

People who consistently win have a clear and thoughtful strategy. They know what they need to do and when they need to do it. They write it down so they stay on course, and avoid any alternative that does not get them closer to the finish line.

Start with a picture of your goal as already achieved in the future, and work back to the present. Imagine the steps that you would have taken to get from where you are now to where you want to be.

Without goals our efforts may be scattered and unproductive.
