Ten Keys To Personal Power

Brian Tracy

Key 1: Clarity 
"Have vision. Determine what you want to be, do or have in life. Have a sense of direction and know where you're going. If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."

In order to get somewhere in life you have to know what you want to be or what you want to do. Its better to set goals now than last minute, because if you set them last minute maybe you won't have enough time to accomplish the goals you set last minute. Goals should be set with time not all last minute. But if you don't have any goals for what you want to do or be in life then your going to end up doing stuff or working for other people who have set goals for what they want to do or be.

Key 2: Competence 
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

Committing to excellence is like committing for great things to happen in your life. Its good to commit to excellence because its like committing to only good things to happen instead of bad things. Its like committing to a sport, and you work hard for it, you will get better at the sport.    

Key 3: Concentration 
"Make the best use of your time. ask yourself "is this the best use of my time?" before you start anything."          

Make sure before you do something, you ask yourself like is this really worth my time. Like things that aren't important to you are obviously not worth your time. Like relationships, are they really worth your time? Is one person really worth all your time, like after you guys break up thtas one whole waste of time.

Key 6: Consideration
"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."
"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator. Take courses in listening, speaking, etc."
"If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you'll be the best educated person in history."

Key 7: Consistency 
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."
"Be consistent in your relationships, your family, friends, your boss, your work. Be the person that people can depend upon. That if you say you'll do something you do it."

Key 8: Commitment 
"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."
"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."

Key 9: 
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."
