Self-Improvement Tips: Brian Tracy’s “21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” Part 1

January 3, 2013 at 6:32 PM

Hello again. 

As I mentioned in my previous post on self-improvements tips, one of the most important keys to having success in your life is to develop the proper mindset. 

One way to create this type of mindset is by reading and listening to positive motivational material on a daily basis.

There are several excellent audio training programs available online, including the Inner Circle membership with the Empower Network.

If you haven’t done so already, you really should check out the Empower Network Inner Circle audios.

They are a collection of interviews, self-improvement tips, and business marketing techniques from some of the most successful leaders at Empower Network. 

For those of you who are Empower Network affiliates, membership to the Inner Circle Mastermind is a must have upgrade. 

While listening to audios is a very powerful way to improve your life, you also want to set aside some time in your schedule to Read Daily …as another way of feeding your mind with “good food for thought”.

It doesn’t matter if what you read is a book, an article, a report, an ebook, or a blog.  Where you find your reading material isn’t as important as actually taking the action to read something positive every day.

We are at the beginning of a new year.

This is a perfect time to make BIG plans for the year ahead and commit to taking daily action to see them through ’till the end.

I want to help you have more success in life.

Over the next several blog posts, I will be sharing some of my favorite self-improvement tips from the top personal success speakers in the world.

But, first I want to ask you a favor.

Promise me that you’re not going to just casually read them.

Focus on reading and understanding each one.  Absorb what they have to offer …

and then IMAGINE 

…what would happen if you took each of the self-improvement tips and committed to making it a part of who you are. 

Ask yourself.

How much more success in life will you have a year from now?

That’s what I thought.

Are you ready to get started?

Great …let’s go.

In today’s post, I would like to introduce you to Brian Tracy and his book, “The 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires”.

Who Is Brian Tracy?

Brian Tracy Quotes and Self-Improvement Tips

Tracy discovered that there are 21 secrets of success of self-made millionaires.

Interestingly, he discovered that all successful people practice these 21 success secrets …whether they’re consciously aware of it or not.

Tracy actually used the secrets himself to rise from humble beginnings to become a millionaire in several different careers.

In The 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires, Brian Tracy not only identifies and defines each success secret, but also reveals its source and foundation.

He also illustrates how each one functions in the “real” world …showing how to apply the success secrets in both life and business through specific steps and practical exercises that everyone can use.

The 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires shows how anyone can cultivate the habits and behaviors that will enable them to achieve not just financial independence, but success in any area of life.

Because, as Brian Tracy writes,

“The most important part of achieving great success is not the money  –  It is the kind of person you have to become to earn that money and hold onto it.”

The principles taught in The 21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires are simple, effective and fairly easy to apply.

Each of them is based on exhaustive research and interviews with thousands of self-made millionaires.

They have been tested and proven over and over again, and they will work for you …if you will take them and apply them in your own life.

Here’s the good news:  Virtually everyone starts with nothing.

Tracy’s research showed that most of the financially successful people he interviewed started off broke or nearly broke …with the average self-made millionaire having been bankrupt or close to bankruptcy 3.2 times.

The majority of them failed over and over again before they finally found the right opportunity that they were able to leverage into financial success. 

Sounds like a couple of Daves that we know, doesn’t it?     winking 

Brian Tracy believes that, what hundreds of thousands and millions of other people have done with the 21 secrets of success of self-made millionaires, you can do as well.

Each of these success secrets is indispensable to your becoming financially independent. 

Tracy states that the absence of any one of these factors can, by itself, undermine and even destroy your chances for health, happiness and great success in life.

The good news is that you can learn every one of these principles simply by practice and repetition.   Just like you were able to learn how to ride a bicycle or drive a car, you can learn the secrets of success of self-made millionaires and apply them in your life.

There are no limits to your success …except the limits you place on yourself.

Okay …let’s get started and take a look at how to achieve success in life faster and easier than you ever thought possible.

Success Secret # 1 of Self-Made Millionaires

The first success secret of self-made millionaires is simple:   Dream Big Dreams!

Do you have a BIG dream?

All great men and women began with a dream of something wonderful and different from what they were experiencing.

You need to allow yourself to dream big dreams

…and imagine living the life you desire … doing the things you want… being the person you want to become

…while making the money you want to earn! 

Now, the problem here is that dreaming and visualizing a success-filled future is nothing new.

Most people will dismiss it with …“Oh I already know this.”

Well…

KNOWING and DOING are two different things.

We all KNOW stuff …but you don’t get paid for …and you don’t make changes in your life by simply knowing what to do.

You need to APPLY what you’ve learned.

This is where having BIG dreams comes into play.

BIG DREAMS ignite the spark of inspiration to do what we need to do …to get what we want.

Now here’s something to think about.

Everyone’s got desire. 

But…

Not everyone has the ambition to go after that which they desire.

You ask anyone if they “want” MORE money …and you’ll always get a yes.

They’ve got the desire.

But…

Are they ambitious enough?  Do they have the motivation to go DO what’s necessary to get the money or whatever it is they want?

Dreaming big dreams is the starting point of achieving success in life.

When you have BIG DREAMS, you become inspired by them and they drive you to take action. They turn “wants” into a “deep burning desire” to do the things you need to do to make it happen.

The number one reason that people never have the success they deserve is because it never occurs to them that they can actually go out and get it.

As a result, they never try.

They never get started.

They just continue to go around in circles …never really going anywhere.

Dreaming big dreams is the starting point of financial success, and becoming a self-made millionaire.

When you begin to dream big dreams, you begin to change the way you see yourself and your life.

Be different than the masses.

Follow your dreams. Do things differently …and little by little …the whole direction of your life will change for the better.
