Flight Plan
by Brian Tracy
Goal achievement as a flight: choose the destination, file the plan, take off, expect turbulence and course corrections, and land. The metaphor is sustained throughout and the twelve steps are Tracy's standard method; the 'course correction' chapter is the most realistic.
Read it if…
you set goals well and give up when the plan hits turbulence.
Skip it if…
you dislike extended metaphors; this is one long one.
Three things you will actually use
- Every flight is off course most of the time; correct constantly.
- A destination without a plan is a wish.
- Expect turbulence and keep flying.
Do this first
Write the three most likely setbacks for your current goal and your planned response to each.
