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 a millionaire. But as you will read, you will realise that these are life values applicable to anyone who has a goal in mind.
