This book is for ambitious people who want to get ahead faster. If
this is the way you think and feel, you are the person for whom this
book is written. The ideas contained in the pages ahead will save you
years of hard work in achieving the goals that are most important to
you.

I have spoken more than 2000 times before audiences of as many as
23,000 people, in 24 countries. My seminars and talks have varied in
length from five minutes to five days. In every case, I have focused
on sharing the best ideas I could find on the particular subject with
that audience at that moment. After countless talks on various
themes, if I was only given five minutes to speak to you, and I could
only convey one thought that would help you to be more successful, I
would tell you to “write down your goals, make plans to achieve
them, and work on your plans every single day.”
