Brian Tracy's Seven Rules to Success

Last night a friend and I were talking about achieving success. She is doing missionary work throughout the United States and has taken many courses on success and various related subjects; she hopes to become a youth leader. Because of this, and the fact that I respect and appreciate her advice, I thought I would share her book suggestion: Maximum Success by Brian Tracy.

While scouring the internet for a copy After driving to the book store to pick up a copy, I found an inspiring (and interesting) motivational speech on YouTube given by Brian Tracy. If you fast forward to ~2:15 in the video below you will get his Seven Rules To Success. I would also recommend the story he tells and the speech he gives in the first three videos. His adventure crossing the Sahara Desert as a young man is humorous, encouraging and insightful.
