Flight Plan: How to Achieve More, Faster Than You Ever Dreamed Possible

by Brian Tracy

A wise man once told me, ''Success is goals; all else is commentary.'' To achieve greatly, you need clear goals, plans, and schedules to get from wherever you are today to wherever you want to be in the future. You need a flight plan that you file before you begin and that you use to guide you on your journey. You must then have the courage to ''take off,'' to step out in faith with no guarantees of success. On your journey, you must be prepared to make continual course corrections. And especially, you must resolve in advance that you will keep going until you reach your destination. There are twelve steps you can take on your journey toward greater happiness, health, and prosperity than you have ever enjoyed before. By following these steps, you can take complete control of your life, activate all your mental powers, become the person you want to become, and increase the likelihood that you will reach your destination on schedule. Read the Book to get to know the 12 steps.

نسبت به نمونه های مشابهش کتاب خیلی بهتری بود. ترجمه هم مشکلی نداشت و کتاب روون خونده میشد. توصیه می کنم حتما از کتاب یادداشت برداری کنید تا بعدا نکات رو بتونین مرور کنین.

[JJ Khodadadi · Rating 3 out of 5]

با اینکه نکات کلی اما درعین حال خوبی در این کتاب بود اما حس میکنم خیلی از کتاب های برایان تریسی تکرار یکدیگر هستند با جمله بندی های متفاوت!! این کتاب رو بار اول بود که مطالعه کردم اما مطالب اون اکثرا برام آشنا و تکراری بود

كتاب بسيار كاربردى بود و راه خوبى در پيدا كردم هدف و برنامه ريزى صحيح براى اون رو نشون ميده توصيه ميكنم به دوستانى كه در پيدا كردن هدفشون مشكل دارن

Five stars seems lofty for this book on the surface. Nothing here is new or even profound. But what Brian and Christina do in Find Your Balance Point is present time-tested methods and concepts in a concise, impactful manner. There are no fluffy anecdotes to distract from the message which allows the reader clarity, focus, and concentration on the companion exercises each chapter offers. The exercises themselves are simple to understand, but require challenging self-reflection. It's the type of book you can read in one sitting, but is useful to return to regularly as you assess and re-assess your own balance point.

Enjoy life while you enjoy work while balancing it all.
This book helped me get my butt back in gear and start writing daily goals again.
I hope I never stop the daily goal writing again.

[Tami · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the introduction of Flight Plan, the author relays that during the course of the average flight the plane will be off course for 99% of the time. The pilots are constantly doing course corrections and adapting as needed for the conditions so that the flight will make it safely to its destination on time. It’s a sobering fact that relates well to business.

No matter how hard we try, we will find ourselves faced with challenges that need to be addressed. The longer we ignore or deny the problems, the more trouble that we make for ourselves in the end. Therefore, it is imperative that we are willing to admit our mistakes, make the appropriate course corrections, and keep our destination in focus.

Flight Plan looks at the reality of business. It’s so easy to get caught up in denial or blame when challenges arise. Yet, inevitably such things will occur. It’s far more productive to just get on with the process.

Whilst this book had some great information, it wasn't quite what I was looking for. The book was more business and career oriented, when I was looking for advice on simplifying one's material needs in order to pursue one's dreams. Some of the advice, like removing distractions to focus on the essential & clarifying one's values are transferable, however, I found the writing style quite dry.

کتاب‌های برایان تریسی همیشه کتاب‌های بسیار پرکحتوا و راه‌گشایی برای حل مسائل زندگی هستند. این کتاب در قالب 12 فصل نوشته شده است که راهکارها و عادت‌هایی را ارائه می‌دهد که با اجرای آنها در زندگی می‌توان گامی در جهت رسیدن به اهداف و خواسته‌های درونی و دستیابی به موفقیت برداشت.

[Shaeley Santiago · Rating 3 out of 5]

Analogy of flying an airplane with goal setting for success in life. Lots of good questions and activities to do to clarify major life purpose and conquer fear. #bookaday

الكتاب ٩٠ صفحة تقريبا. بسيط وخفيف لكن حسيت انه مناسب للشخص اللي ناوي يطبق اكثر من الاطلاع او القراءة فقط
صورت النقاط المهمة وناوية استخدمها في كتابة اهداف السنة الجاية بإذن الله ٢٠٢٥
كتاب يحمس لكتابة الاهداف و البدايات الجديدة

(( لا أعذار . لا لوم. لا مبررات للفشل في فعل ما قلت بأنك ستفعله))

- احد النقاط المهمة اللي قالها هي ان التقدير الذات(احترامك لنفسك) مرتبط بالمسافة بين ذاتك الحالية و المثالية، لو كانت كبيرة راح تكره نفسك و لا راح تحترمها، و كل ما قربت راح يزداد الاحترام و الحب (تقدير الذات).

- فريدريك نيتشه:"من لديه سبب للعيش يمكنه ان يتحمل أي طريقة للعيش تقريباً".

- "الحقيقة هي أنه لكي تتمكن من تحقيق هدف لم تحققه من قبل، يجب عليك تطوير مهارة لم تكن لديك من قبل. ينبغي عليك ان تصبح شخصاً لم تكن عليه من قبل. لا يمكنك تحقيق أهداف كبيرة بالبقاء على نفس المستوى الذي أنت عليه اليوم".

- الذات المثالية: هي مزيج من كل القيم و الفضائل التي تعجبك في نفسك و في الاخرين. هي صورة الشخص المصالي الذي تود ان تكونه في وقت ما في المستقبل. ذاتك المثالية هي رؤيتك لأفضل شخص يمكن أن تكون عليه.

- الوضوح (النقطة الاولى للبداية): القيم/ الاشياء المهمه للشخص.

- تبدأ كل التحسينات في حياتك الخارجية بتحسين طريقة تفكيرك في نفسك.

I am seriously so excited about this book, I loved every minute reading it, highly recommend this book to everyone And I have extracted from the book some paragraphs that I like best in order to introduce this good book to the readers. You can read these interesting quotes prior to making a decision to read the whole book....!

"Don’t waste time fooling around or socializing."

Thanks and Wish you and your family health and success.

Lista de valores. Importancia de tener un balance entre salud, dinero y amor.

Short, sweet and to the point, it lacks any substantial nuance but doesn't waste your time. It focuses a tad more on financial success than philosophical, but given the market audience that's not a criticism as much as an observation. It is equivalent to a 2hr YouTube video, so if you've seen long form essay on goals, nothing here will be new. Not a waste of time, but not memorable either. It does have a few snippets and quotes that I'll keep down for future use. 6.5/10

Realise what you want to do make an vision on what you wanna achieve in it. Make a structure on how much money it will take how much money you wanna earn each month and year

Be specific on how much u wanna earn our subconcious mind loves specificity

Make a plan of to you’re goals and feel that you achieved it, even creating obstacles within.

In a company try to be the best spend the most time working and absorbing

برایان تریسی در این کتاب راه های واقعی و موثر رسیدن به هدف را بیان می‌کند.
تریسی در این کتاب می‌گوید که زندگی یک سفر است و در هر سفری باید مسیر و یا مقصدی داشت که منظور همان هدف در زندگی است و طبق آن باید به پیش رفت، در جریان این سفر گاه از مسیر خارج می‌شویم اما اگر یک برنامه درست و حسابی داشته باشیم می‌توانیم دوباره به مسیر برگردیم و به هدف برسیم.

[MANU · Rating 2 out of 5]

Este libro posee grandes consejos y enseñanzas valiosas, pero, independientemente de todo, siento que queda faltando el disfrute de la vida misma durante el proceso para alcanzar el éxito, y, ese es el éxito para mí, todo lo que contiene aquel proceso para alcanzar mis metas, no la meta en si misma.

[Heidy Estrada · Rating 5 out of 5]

Al realizar los ejercicios que el autor sugiere, se da una mejor conexión entre la teoría y mís metas. Me quedo con un buen sabor lector, lista para no abandonar mis sueños, ideas, metas como se desee llamar.

En pocas páginas grandes lecciones.

Where is your destination, what is your flight plan? This is a book that will guide you to success, it let's us know that there is no one particular formula for success but principle and ideas that has been discovered and put into practice. A book worth reading. #GoodReadsWithJohnT

Not rocket science, but while quick and easy to read and understand, not so easy to answer the soul searching questions to find the right answers for oneself.

Well written extract of already published ideas. Very little new information. The good news is this is a very quick read.
