Brian Tracy is a Canadian-born American motivational speaker and self-development author known for his books on success and discipline. He argues that lasting success requires disciplining oneself to work hard for a long time. He warns against living in the "Someday Isle" by putting off important tasks and goals until later. Instead, successful people take purposeful action toward their goals each day through self-discipline.

23. 1. Living on someday isle
• Not only do we all want the same things, but
we all know what we have to do to achieve
them.
• We all intend to do those things… sometime.
• But before we get started, we decide that we
need to take a little vacation to a wonderful
fantasy place …………….

26. Someday I’ll read that book.

27. Someday I’ll start that exercise program.

28. Someday I’ll upgrade my skills and earn more
money.

29. Someday I’ll get my finances under control and
get out of debt.

need to do to achieve all my goals.

32. • Success is not an accident. Sadly, failure is not
an accident either.
• Simply put you succeed when you do the
things other successful people do, over and
over, until these behaviors become a habit.

33. • Likewise, you fail if you don’t do what
successful people do.

fun, easy, and low-value things
in the short term that lead to
frustration, health problems,
financial worries and failure
in the long run.

feelings, and actions, and then to get so busy
working on things that are important to you.

41. Issues that occupy our minds can only be
solved by taking more action.

If you’re doing but not making progress start
thinking.

your life only when you have a clear goal that
you are working toward each day.

5 years and then ask yourself these 7 simple
questions.

51. 4. Turn Off The TV

52. Your television set can make you rich or
poor.
If you watch it all the time, it will make you
poor.

53. The more television you watch, the lower
are your levels of energy and self-esteem.
People who watch too much television also
gain weight and become physically unfit
from sitting around too much.

54. When you turn off your television, you
free up time that you can then use to
invest in becoming a better,
smarter, and more competent
person.

55. Psychologists have found that the
average emotional state we
experience while watching TV is
mild depression and apathy.

56. 5. Blaming and Negative
Emotions

57. • All negative emotions, especially anger,
depend for their very existence on your ability
to blame someone or something else for
something in your life that you are not happy
about.

58. It takes tremendous self-discipline to refrain
from blaming others for our problems.

59. You cannot change the random things life
throws at you.
However you can change how you react to such
things.

60. If you are in control of your attitude, you are
ultimately in command of your life.
And that is the only way to truly be happy with
yourself.

62. FORGIVENESS
• Not condoning.
• You forgive others so that you yourself can be
emotionally free, so that you no longer carry
that baggage around with you.

64. • Past experiences are facts, you can not change
it.
• The problem is what you can do at the
present. That, you have control.
