hi I'm Brian Tracy and welcome to the

Phoenix seminar on the psychology of

achievement have you ever wondered why

some people are more successful than

others why some people earn more money

are happier have better jobs better

relationships Better Health and seem to

get far more out of life well when I was

15 years old this question began to

preoccupy me I've spent over 25 years

I've traveled in over 80 countries I've

worked at 30 different jobs and I've

spent by my own estimate about 30,000

hours in study to try to find the answer

to why some people are more successful

than others and you know something I

have found that this is one of the most

studied subjects in the world that

there's more information available on it

today than has ever been available

before and that today we can say with

complete confidence that success is as

predictable as the sun rising in the

East and setting in the west today you

can be more successful faster than you

ever dreamed possible if you will do two

basic things number one make a decision

to exceed all your previous levels of

accomplishment make a decision to be

successful and to achieve your goals

whatever you construe them to be and

number two learn how this seminar has

been assembled in order to teach you how

since we put it together several years

ago over

150,000 men and women have been through

this seminar in one form or another and

many of them have said it's like getting

a brand new chance at life one gentleman

said to us it was like getting a blank

check on the future we're going to teach

you in the next few hours some of the

most important things that have ever

been found that have been discovered and

rediscovered that go back 4,000 years

into History Science religion

metaphysics Psych ology philosophy and

all esoteric fields of study have come

to the conclusions that we are going to

talk about in this seminar if you will

just use some of the things you learn in

this seminar it can dramatically change

your results for the better now in

studying the subject of success one of

the things we have to do is put some

preconceptions aside one of the things

that I began thinking was that in order

to be successful you had to be

especially intelligent or you had to

have a great education or you had to be

terrific looking or you had to have

context or you had to have luck do you

know that these items have been examined

thoroughly and there's no correlation at

all between success and intelligence

education luck contacts and appearance

they are helpful in some cases but

there's no direct correlation success is

based on other things now before we go

any further let's talk about what we

mean by success when we look at the

difference between animals and human

beings we find that animals have what is

called a survival Instinct animals work

to get enough to eat a place to sleep to

reproduce their species and then they

either hibernate and or die human beings

have what you might call a success

Instinct a success Instinct means that

human beings are driven internally to

succeed that it is as natural for you to

be a success and to want to be a success

as it is for you to breathe in and

breathe out that success the drive to be

and have and do and more to fulfill your

potential as a human being is an

absolutely essential part of your being

that we never are satisfied as long as

we're alive we always want to have more

we always want to be more we always want

to do more the question of course is why

is it that so few people achieve things

in life let's talk about what the

success Instinct Embraces now I have

looked at this for years and years and

in my estimation success can be broken

down and put under seven categories

there are seven ingredients of success

and if you have these seven everything

you could ever want in life can be put

under one of these categories so let's

look at what we're talking about number

one starting point of success top of the

Hit Parade throughout all of human

history is peace of mind Peace of Mind

means that you feel content at peace

relaxed inside peace of mind to a great

degree means freedom it means freedom

especially from Fear Freedom From Fear

freedom from stress freedom from anxiety

Freedom from Want freedom from lack

freedom from negative emotions freedom

from guilt and so on but peace of

mind is the first and most important

ingredient of success why it's because

if you get anything else in life and you

don't get your peace of mind you won't

even enjoy it number two ingredient of

success health and

energy health and energy Health means

that we have the health we are free from

sickness freedom from disease Freedom

From Pain freedom from ailments and so

on but also energy we mean vitality and

today we know as a result of exhaustive

research in medicine and psychology that

there's a very close correlation between

peace of mind and health and energy is

that 80 to 90% of all the ailments that

the human body suffers including most of

the reasons why we die before our time

have to do with disrupted Peace of Mind

psychosomatic medicine is based on the

discovery that psycho the Mind makes

Soma the body sick so therefore as we

strive for higher levels of peace of

mind we almost automatically have better

levels of health and energy now the

third ingredient of success is loving

relationships loving relationship ship

means that we have the ability the

capacity to enter into long-term loving

relationships with other men and women

it means that we have the ability to

give of ourselves to love and to be

loved and the ability to enter into

loving relationships is an essential

part of Being Human it is the one

essential characteristic of our

humanhood and when we look at loving

relationships you'll find that almost

all of the problems you have in life

about 80% 85% of our problems in life as

they say talk back that 85 5% of all the

success you'll ever enjoy in life is

going to be determined by how well you

get along with other people the quality

and quantity of our relationships is the

true Mark of how well you're doing as a

human being and as you know that

problems within your relationship

starting from Early Childhood all the

way up through our adult lives disrupt

our health and energy disrupt our peace

of mind if our loving relationships are

stable usually our health and energy is

stable and we have great peace of mind

now how do you measure loving

relationships well one of the simplest

measures that you can use is simply this

it is is to ask yourself how much you

laugh with another person how much do

you laugh because you'll find that the

first thing that enters into a happy

relationship is laughter and the first

things that leaves when the relationship

starts to go sour is the laughter

laughter because it is a completely

spontaneous expression of life is the

true Mark of a healthy personality and a

healthy relationship as as you know from

your own experience now number four

ingredient of success is fin Financial

Freedom Financial Freedom

means that you have enough money so that

you don't worry about money now some

people have a tendency to say well

success is just simply a matter of money

and they're not interested in money but

the fact of the matter is that money is

important it takes money to buy clothes

and books and to go to school and buy

medical attention and to travel and to

have all the good things in life and

every one of us in order to be a success

has to reach the point where we know we

have the capacity to earn enough money

so that we don't worry about money we

have to reach the point where we can

turn our minds to other things higher

things to our relationships to our

health to the uh Improvement of our

minds to the expansion of our emotional

and our spiritual life but we all have

to have the ability to earn more money

and the great majority of people

unfortunately don't earn enough by their

own estimation in this course you're

going to learn how you can earn

virtually all the money that you want in

the course of your lifetime if you're

willing to make the efforts and to pay

the necessary price now the fifth

ingredient of success is worthy goals and

and

ideals worthy

goals and ideals sometimes when we talk

about ideals we mean values and we know

that values really lie at the core of

the human being what your values are

determines almost everything that

happens to you worthy goals and ideals

are what give us a sense of

meaning meaning

and purpose Dr Victor Frankle the

founder of logo therapy concluded after

a lifetime of research that we as human

beings need meaning and purpose we need

significance you need to know that

you're doing something that's important

you need to know when you get up in the

morning why you're getting up you need

to believe in what you're doing you need

commitment you need involvement you need

dedication you need excitement in life

so therefore worthy goals and ideals are

critical and worthy goals and ideals of

course that are consistent with your

values what we have found unfortunately

is probably 80% or more of people have

little or no values they have no sense

of direction they just wander they do

whatever what whatever someone else

wants them to do and and this is a major

problem that contributes to unhappiness

the sixth ingredient of success is self-

knowledge self- understanding self-

knowledge self- understanding what does

this mean well it means that you know

and understand who you

are why you do the things you do what

makes you tick it also means that you

have self-honesty it also means that you

have the character and the courage to

face yourself honestly and squarely as

Shakespeare said warts and all you have

the honesty to face your strengths into

weaknesses you have the honesty if you

like and the Integrity to look into

yourself to fully understand why you do

what you do what makes you tick and in

this seminar by the way we're going to

give you an enormous amount of

information on why you are the way you

are and how you can change it in a very

positive way if you're not happy with it

now the seventh ingredient of success is

really a result and it is a sense of personal

personal

fulfillment it is a sense of personal

fulfillment what Abraham maslo called

self-actualization self-actualization is

the feeling that you are becoming

everything that you're capable of

becoming self-actualization means that

you feel every single day that you're

moving toward the Fulfillment of your

inherent possibilities and

self-actualization comes as a result of

having worthy goals and ideals having

loving relationships having a high

degree of self- knowledge and self-

understanding which generates health and

energy Peace of Mind loving

relationships and so

on now the interesting thing is the

tragedy is the great majority of men and

women today achieve so little on a score

of 1 to 10 in terms of human potential

the average person is functioning it Far

Far Below what they're capable of on a

score of 1 to 10 the average person is

scoring perhaps two or three on most of

these scales 84% of people working today

are underemployed in that their jobs do

not fully tax their abilities and their

potential 80% would rather be doing

something else in a study of married

couples what we found was that 38% of

married couples would rather be married

to someone else uh We've also found that

the great majority of people in our

society after a lifetime of well-paid

work retire broke they retire poor they

retire on pensions only 1% become

wealthy only 5% become financially

independent 15% % have some savings and

80% are dependent on others the average

savings lifetime Savings of a retired

couple in America or Canada today is

less than $660,000 that's after earning

between half a million and a million

dollars in an average working Lifetime

well why is this the number one reason

is that we come into this world without

an instruction manual you can go through

your entire education and never never be

taught anything about success I

personally believe that there should be

a course on success in every single

grade level in every single School in

every single college and university we

come into the world like a computer if

you can imagine a computer imagine that

you bought this beautiful sophisticated

computer and you took it home and you

took it out of the box and you set it up

but you had no instruction manual that

you had to figure out how to work out

this computer all by yourself or imagine

a com combination lock being given a

beautiful combination lock that is on a

box that contains everything that you

ever want but you don't know the

combination we come into the world with

no instruction manual and we spend our

whole lives trying to figure out how to

do things right well the key to success

is first of all what we call you

understanding learning how to do things

right and this course is an instruction

manual on success you'll be able to get

more out of yourself as a result of this

course that you can possibly dream of

today the second ingredient is e which

requires effort there are many people as

you know lifelong students who study and

study and study but they never make the

necessary or the correct efforts the

middle point is a multiplication sign

and understanding multiplied time effort

equals results in this course what we're

going to do is we're going to

dramatically increase your understanding

we're going to give you the tools to

dramatically increase the effectiveness

of your efforts so you're doing not only

things right but you are doing the right

things and you're going to

dramatically increase your results many

people have taken this course and been

able to earn more in the following year

than they earned in the previous five

many people have taken this course and

been able to make more progress in one

or two years and they made in their

lifetime to date it is not unusual for a

person to take this course and double or

triple their income within a matter of a

few weeks or a few months simply by

applying some of these principles now do

these principles work these principles

are the basis of all success and

achievement in adult life every

successful man or woman uses them to

some degree every successful man or

woman practices them consciously or

unconsciously what we've done is we've

developed them together in this seminar

program as a system very much like a

process of learning anything that if you

will take it if you will use it if you

will apply it systematically if you will

put it into action and you'll work with

it consistently for even a short period

of time you're going to start to see

changes that are absolutely marvelous it

is my contention that you can be have or

do anything that you want in life you

can grow and expand and fulfill your

potential you can earn more money you

can have greater peace of mind you can

have more health and energy you can have

better loving relationships you can have

Financial Security you can have a sense

of personal fulfillment you have a great

feeling of Peace inside simply by

following what's in this course so

please come with me let's go and let's

begin to explore everything that you're

capable of doing let us look at what you

session two seven mental laws the

starting point of self- knowledge just

to recognize this wonderful fact is that

you are extraordinary you are unique the

odds against there being someone exactly

like you are over 50 billion to one that

every single part of your body and

anatomists and physiologists and doctors

have demonstrated that your blood

composition is different from any other

person that has ever lived your

fingerprints are different your limp

prints are different even your ear

prints are different even your toe

prints are different from anybody that

has ever lived you are different from

anyone else and self- knowledge begins

with accepting that you are a unique and

special individual and that you have the

capacity to do something wonderful with

your life now that being said you are

also the same as everybody else with

respect to certain basic principles

throughout the history of mankind the

most intelligent men and women who have

ever lived have sought answers to the

question of the human dilemma what can

people do in order to change the quality

of their lives their relationships and

their results the great philosophers the

great metaphysicians the great Scholars

have pondered over this sometimes for

their entire lifetimes in our Century I

know men and women who spent 10 20 30 40

even 50 years studying success and

achievement to find out what general

rules and principles we can draw upon to

be more successful the first thing that

we have to start with the basis for this

entire course the psychology of

achievement is this is that you are a

mental creature the only thing that

makes you truly unique is your mind

everything else you have in common as

Eugene O'Neal the playwright said with a

horse or a pig your mind is what makes

you unique your body simply carries your

mind around and just as electricity

works on laws of electricity and physics

works on laws of physics and nature

works on laws of nature there are

certain mental laws that Det determine

everything that happens to you and these

mental laws are as inexorable as the

laws of gravity they work 100% of the

time and every single success you have

in life comes from living your life in

harmony with basic mental laws and every

problem or difficulty you ever have in

life comes from living your life out of

harmony with those basic laws now mental

laws work 100% of the time like gravity

works 100% of the time what they say

what it means is that if you step off a

10 story building in the city where

you're living or in London England or in

Lima Peru you're going to go Splat on

the sidewalk whether you know about

gravity whether you believe in gravity

whether you agree with gravity or

whether gravity is convenient for you

it's going to work on you nonetheless

the mental laws are exactly the same and

in this course I'm going to introduce

you to about 20 mental laws some of

which are more important than others but

all of which it is critical for you to

understand now let's start with the

first of the mental loss

the first mental law and by the way

these laws have been written about and

studied for Century after century and

many of them have been tested in our

leading universities research institutes

and think tanks in the last few years

and found to be as true as they'd ever

been imagined to be the first law is

what we call the law of control now the

law of control is very simple it's the

basic law and we'll come back to it over

and over again it says simply this it

says that you feel good about yourself

you feel positive about yourself to the

degree to which you feel you are in

control of your own life or you feel

negative about yourself to the degree to

which you feel you are not in control of

your own life all you have to do is look

at your life today and ask yourself what

parts of your life do you feel the best

at what parts of the life do you feel

your life do you feel most in control

you will find those are the places where

you are the happiest and since the

Supreme human good is to achieve a state

of Happiness which is expressed in peace

of mind and health and loving

relationships control is absolutely

essential psychologists today call this

the difference between an internal locus

of control which is feeling that you're

in charge of your own life versus an

external locus of control which means

the feeling that something outside of

you your bills your relationships your

job your

health are somehow controlling you as a

matter of fact locus of control research

and there are many tests that you can

take to determine where you are are on

this chart in terms of locus of control

and what areas of your life you feel
