Brian Tracy has a simple success formula. It’s The 12 Step Program.
No, it’s not that 12 Step Program.
It’s a 12 Step Program to achieve whatever you want.
He also refers to it as his 12 Step Program for Personal Excellence.
I’ve written about Brian Tracy’s 12 Steps to Set and Achieve Any Goal before, but now I want to show how Tracy applies his 12-step recipe to fitness, relationships, and financial goals.
