Brian Tracy on living more effectively
Liz Thompson of Healthy Wealthy nWise Magazine interviews Brian Tracy:
Liz: Brian, you do so many different things. You ran for Governor, you’re a speaker, you’re an author, and you’re a mentor. You’ve done hundreds of courses, written dozens of books… To the typical person, it would seem that you would have to go out of balance simply by focusing on all these different things at once.
Has being out of balance ever stopped you or held you back from reaching your goals, have you ever been focused so much in one area that you became out of balance?
Brian Tracy: No, I don’t get out of balance. I practice what I preach. In my book Focal Point, I explain how to develop a high level of effectiveness and simultaneously a high level of balance in every area of your life. Once you get into it, it is very much like brushing your teeth every morning. You just simply get into a rhythm of living your life more and more effectively.
The interesting thing is that everything is hard before it is easy. Developing habits is always hard, but once you develop the habits, they are automatic and easy to follow and you get more and more effective at them. You get more and more done in less and less time as you develop these habits.
One of my big pushes in life is to help people develop excellent habits for themselves as their lives evolve so that those habits just lock in. Then they can concentrate on other things, but the habits of personal effectiveness, just simply go along like Old Man River.
If you live in a monastery then maybe you don’t have any problems. But since most of us don’t, just look upon your life as a series of learning experiences. I love the idea that there is no such thing as failure, only feedback.
Feedback just tells you that the particular direction that you are going in is not a great direction so you need to do something different.
