We all have people in our life that influence us greatly. Maybe people that we’ve never even meet in person but whose words and actions inspire us to be better. Brian Tracy is one of those people. He is the mentor to the mentors. The icon to the icons.

Recently, we were both at the same event and got up the courage to ask him to do this interview. I mean, come on, he’s mega-famous for teaching and inspiring people to start their own business – so who better to talk to us about how to do that, right? From start to finish it is filled with Pearls Of Wisdom – you will LOVE it!

Great, right? Brian has a way of talking very simply and getting right to the point.

Brian has a habit of saying things that, once you hear them, you think, “Oh, well that’s common sense.” Well, yeah… after you hear it, it seems obvious. But were you thinking of it that way before you heard it?

So don’t put so much pressure on yourself that things have to be perfect. Because everything that you do and everything that you learn increases your chances of finding that one idea where everything ‘clicks.’

And I’ve often found that, even though something may not be exactly right, by taking action on it, I’m led to something even MORE wonderful than what I was intending in the first place.

So, what about you? How many ideas do you have that you don’t take action on because you’re not sure if it’s “the right one?” Or have you ever taken action on a bad idea, only to find that it opened doors to you that would have been closed if you hadn’t? Have you ever thought of keeping an Idea Journal so those ideas don’t just get lost in the shuffle?
