Focal Point is author and motivational speaker Brian Tracy’s latest guide to professional and personal development. Combining the basic principles of career success and life balance he has advocated in the past with anecdotes for inspiration, the book proposes a unified approach to simultaneously achieving improvement at work and at home. The crux is finding the “focal point” in all pertinent areas–business, family, finances, health–and then launching a seven-step “personal strategic plan” that “helps you identify exactly what is most important to you … identify what you need to do to achieve your most important goals (and) determine the steps you have to take to get from wherever you are to wherever you want to go.” Tracy shows quite explicitly how to incorporate the specific phases of the process, including Values, Vision, Goals, Knowledge and Skills, Habits, Daily Activities, and Actions, into a drive for long-term growth and overall advancement. Not all who follow Tracy’s program will find their incomes doubled and work hours pared while their personal relationships blossom, of course, but anyone who applies it diligently should see definite improvement. –Howard Rothman –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
