An Average Person

By Brian Tracy

What does it take to succeed on a big scale?
A tremendous God-given talent? Inherited wealth?
A decade of postgraduate education?
Connections with the top people in your field?

Fortunately for most of us, what it takes is something
very simple and accessible: clear, written goals.
A study of Harvard graduates found that after 20 years,
the three percent of them who had written goals achieved
more financially than the other 97% combined!

An average person with average talent, ambition and education,
can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society,
if that person has clear, focused goals.
