Success Secrets: Scott Young on Task Completion

Scott Young spotlights a crucial success skill in his must-read post: The Art of the Finish: How to Go from Busy to Accomplished. If Woody Allen taught us "ninety-nine percent of success is just showing up", believe me, Scott Young brings us the other one percent and then some. Here is a short excerpt:

"From my experience, the most common trait you will consistently observe in accomplished people is an obsession with completion. Once a project falls into their horizon, they crave, almost compulsively, to finish it. If they’re organized, this might happen in scheduled chunks. If they’re not — like many — this might happen in all-nighters. But they get it done. Fast and consistently."

Scott goes on to describe a project-management system that aids completion-focus while not letting other creative ideas get away. This post is a keeper. Please read it all.

Success Tools - The Brian Tracy Site

I was delighted to discover that Brian Tracy, one of the reigning masters of personal development, has posted an extensive selection of material on his site . I have been a huge fan of Brian Tracy over the years. Before I studied Brian Tracy I had no concept of financial independence. I first heard the term “Goals” in a Brian Tracy audio presentation. I attended Brian’s 1995 Mastermind Seminar and still have my blue binder from that life-changing event.

Now, I have a wall full of Brian’s materials…well over a dozen of his programs, but anyone who wants to begin the study of Brian Tracy’s work can now go to his site and access a treasure-trove of materials at no cost whatever.

Brian Tracy has devoted his life to defining the critical success factors of the major areas of human life: personal development, relationships, business, finance, and sales, to name a few. The knowledge he has collected is not based on fads, pop psychology, or the mysticism-du-jour. As such, it may seem too obvious, old-fashioned, or just plain hard. Too bad. It works. The truths are eternal, and one would be hard-pressed to imagine a life of lasting success that did not incorporate the principles that Brian Tracy has discovered, organized, and articulates.

Go to these sites. Go back often. You will find the highest quality information on personal success you can imagine.
