Conclusion:

Success Is Predictable

L

et me repeat the most important message of this  

entire book. It is this: “Success is predictable.”

Success is not a matter of luck or accident or being

in the right place at the right time. Success is as pre-

dictable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the

west. By practicing the principles that you have just

learned, you will move to the front of the line in life.

You will have an incredible advantage over people

who do not know or who do not practice these tech-

niques and strategies. You will have an advantage that

will give you the winning edge for the rest of your life

and career.

If you consistently and persistently do the things

that other successful people do, nothing in the world

can stop you from becoming a big success yourself.

You are the architect of your own destiny. You are the

master of your own fate. You are behind the steering

wheel of your own life. There are no limitations to

what you can do, have, or be except the limitations

you place on yourself by your own thinking.

Remember, you are as good or better than anyone

you will ever meet. You are an outstanding human

being. You have talents and abilities far greater than

anything you have ever realized or used up to now.

You have within you the potential to accomplish won-

derful things with your life. Your greatest responsibil-

ities are to dream big dreams, decide exactly what you

want, make a plan to achieve it, practice the strategies

taught in this book, take action every single day in the

direction of your dreams and goals, and resolve to

never, never, never give up. When you take these ac-

tions, you put yourself on the side of the angels. You

become unstoppable and your success becomes in-

evitable.

consultant and is the chairman of Brian Tracy Inter-

national, a training and consulting company based in

borer for several years. He washed dishes, stacked

hay bales on farms and ranches.

In his mid-20s, he became a salesman and began

industries. In 1981, he began teaching his success

principles in talks and seminars around the country.

Today, his books, audio programs, and video seminars

have been translated into 20 languages and are used in

38 countries.

Brian has one single focus. He believes that the

average (or above-average) person has enormous un-

tapped potential. He believes that you can move

ahead far faster toward your goals if you learn and

practice the key methods, techniques, and strategies

used by other successful people who have gone be-

fore you.

Brian has shared his ideas with more than two mil-

lion people in 23 countries since he began speaking

trainer for more than 500 corporations. He has lived

and practiced every principle in this book. He has

taken himself and countless thousands of other people

from frustration and underachievement to prosperity

and success.

Brian Tracy calls himself an “eclectic reader.” He

considers himself not an academic researcher but a

synthesizer of information. Each year he spends hun-

dreds of hours reading a wide variety of newspapers,

magazines, books, and other materials. In addition, he

listens to many hours of audio programs, attends

countless seminars, and watches numerous video-

tapes on subjects of interest to him. Information
