Success Leaves Tracks
By Brian Tracy
When I began searching for the secrets of success many years ago, I discovered an interesting principle: success leaves tracks.
In other words, if you want to be a big success in any area, find out what other successful people in that area are doing, and do the same things, until you get the same results. By learning from the experts, you will shorten your learning curve and accelerate your results.
That's what I did. When I studied the interviews, speeches, biographies and autobiographies of successful men and women, I found that they all had one quality in common. They were all described as being "extremely well-organized." They used their time very, very well. They were highly productive and they got vastly more done in the same period of time than the average person.
I followed their paths and it made me who I am today.
Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action:
First, develop a study plan today to learn from the experts in your field. This can save you years of hard work.
Second, of all you've learned decide what is the most important thing to implement, and then decide how to do it. Then do it.
The Real Secret of Success
Make more money now, Work smarter not harder, Spend time with your family. Learn the secrets today.

happening and it can be fixed. Goldsmith details the 20 habits that hold you
back from the top rung of the corporate ladder. These are the most
irritating interpersonal issues in the workplace. For each habit, he gives
examples and practical solutions. He then describes the 21st habit, which

because it is often the root of an annoying behavior.
