Brian Tracy

See yourself as a work in progress.

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.

Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.

80 Percent of the constraints, the factors that are holding you back from achieving your goals, are internal.

Surround your mind with healthy thoughts, thoughts of faith, and not fear, and you will produce faith results instead of fear results.

If you can dream it, you can do it. Your limits are all within yourself.

In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s mind there are few.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

My dream was to make $1,000 a week, have a Cadillac convertible and an apartment on Ocean Park where I would’ve thought that would be nirvana.

My definition of an expert in any field is a person who knows enough about what’s really going on to be scared.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!

I’m open and ready to go to the next place, the next level, the next height.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

The greatest effort is not concerned with results.

Just the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

A plan is always successful if the plan is good.

Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the ‘gotta have it’ scale.

You can start where you are with what you’ve got and go to wherever it is you want to go.

Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.

Success is dependent upon the glands – sweat glands.
