Brian Tracy explains how to track progress on your goals: write them by hand, list every step needed, do something daily toward them, and keep upgrading your skills. He stresses the two-part rule: get started and keep going.
"Get Going and Keep Going"
Hello, my name is Brian Tracy. I get a lot of questions from my friends on social media and I've decided to answer some of them as we go along. Here's a question we received recently.
What advice would you give to people who want to measure their lives more accurately and improve themselves over a long period of time?
Great question. The most important thing I learned, and I learned it many years ago, one of the great success secrets is think on paper, write things down, do not type things. When you type things, there's no emotional connection between something you type and your brain and your heart. So you write things down and very simply, you write down a goal or task and then you make a list of every step that you think you can take to achieve that. And then you just work down the steps one at a time. You do something every day. You upgrade your skills on a regular basis is you are responsible for keeping yourself in motion. I just wrote a book that's been retitled a couple of times, but my title was Get Going and Keep Going, get started, Keep going. The great rule to success is to get started and then keep going every single day. And if you do that, you can achieve almost any goal over an extended period of time. I hope that answer was helpful to you and if it was, be sure to take action and take action now.
