Review: Maximum Achievement: Strategies and Skills that Will Unlock Your Hidden Powers to Succeed

Maximum Achievement: Strategies and Skills that Will Unlock Your Hidden Powers to Succeed by Brian Tracy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I have a simple formula for success that requires the right Opportunity, Timing and People. This book, "Maximum Achievement" by Brian Tracy was a potent combination of the three and impacted my life at a time I most needed this type of message.

As a student of the success classics I have always prided myself on understanding the laws of the mind and achievement. However, there was a "missing link" of those laws and their practical daily application in the world of business and sales...enter Brian Tracy.

I had just gone through a business failure and was struggling to regain my footing financially and found myself back in corporate America...at the bottom. My mind would not let me accept that position as a long term occupation so I used this book to help me re-build my opportunities.

I am a big proponent and believer in Strenghfinders 2.0 and through my assessment my #1 strength is Strategic. The language and syntax that Tracy uses speaks directly to my need to see things linearly laid out...progressively building to a crescendo of results.

The most impactful chapters for me were:

Make Your Life a Masterpiece
The Master Program
The Master Goal

As a book on success, it contains all the basic core elements such as the power of thoughts/mind, eliminating fear, setting goals and living a life of balance.

Tracy is credible because of his own struggles, similar to mine and certainly most people and the authenticity for which he conveys his approach to business and life success. He is an enduring figure in this genre and his decades of top tier status reflect on the power and effectiveness of the message.

I have not read this book in several years, but now in doing this review and looking at the well-worn, highlighted pages, I will dig back in for reinforcement of key lessons.

This book has reached "Classic" status which I reserve for books that have had the most impact on my life and represent timeless, proven techniques for which they were written.

I highly recommend this book!
