| Introduction |
Brian Tracy's first dream was of a journey--not a leisurely drive to the beach or a weekend campout, but an unscripted adventure that would take him 17,000 miles from his home on Canada's Pacific Coast all the way to South Africa. After a harrowing series of false starts and narrow escapes, he finally completed the odyssey that would change his life--and his way of thinking about life. The road to success, he realized, is just as exciting and dangerous and rewarding as a trek across the Sahara. Succeeding--sometimes even surviving--requires vision, courage, persistence, and the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own actions. Using his story as a metaphor for success in life and in business, Tracy shows how anyone can learn from similar life lessons the simple yet essential steps he can take to realize and achieve his business's full potential. "Before you start reading, fasten your seat belt; this book is a real page-turner. At the end, you will be a better person, a wiser person."--Harvey Mackay, author, Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive and Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty |
