A 12-point plan on how to achieve your goals in life
Many regard Brian Tracy as the paladin of platitudes, but that doesn't mean his message isn't worthwhile. The old verities - Work hard! Think positive! You can achieve anything you put your mind to! - remain eternally valid. That's why motivational authors like Tracy depend on them so heavily. Such venerable homilies continue to pack a punch. As Abraham Lincoln said, "God must love the common man, he made so many of them." And, in contrast, author Philip Wylie said, "God must hate the common man, he made them so common." In the end, everything comes down to personal taste and attitude. getAbstract believes the acid test for Tracy's books is: Do they help you? This particular offering warmly and accessibly charts a plan for taking hold of your life by using the metaphor of an airplane flight. See if it helps you take off.

Flight Plan
In the introduction of Flight Plan, the author relays that during the course of the average flight the plane will be off course for 99% of the time. The pilots are constantly doing course corrections and adapting as needed for the conditions so that the flight will make it safely to its destination on time. It's a sobering fact that relates well to business.

No matter how hard we try, we will find ourselves faced with challenges that need to be addressed. The longer we ignore or deny the problems, the more trouble that we make for ourselves in the end. Therefore, it is imperative that we are willing to admit our mistakes, make the appropriate course corrections, and keep our destination in focus.

Flight Plan looks at the reality of business. It's so easy to get caught up in denial or blame when challenges arise. Yet, inevitably such things will occur. It's far more productive to just get on with the process.
