According to Brian Tracy, we are entering the golden age of mankind. The evidence for his conclusions are all around us and are very exciting to the independent thinker. For example, there are more inventors, creative geniuses, engineers, entrepreneurs, and companies producing more and different goods and services today than ever before existed. Every one of these advances opens up countless doors of opportunity to those poised to take advantage of them. People and companies that can respond in an entrepreneurial way to the rapid changes taking place will get a piece of the action. Those who can't will quickly reach obsolescence.

To prepare yourself you need to make the switch from corporate strategic planning to personal strategic planning. The days when a young person could latch on to a large company and spend their career climbing through the ranks is nearing an end. You must learn to chart your future with goals and skills that make you an independent operator, someone who can do the job you were hired to do and then move on to the next challenge. In Brian's approach, the product that needs to be continually updated, to be frequently re-launched as "New and Improved," is you. In Master Strategies for Higher Achievement, Brian will teach you how to:

• Channel the natural flow of capital (from investors to good ideas) in your direction.
• Use "Zero-Based Thinking" to organize your money and time.
• Double the hit ratio on your goals using the GOSPA Model.
• Trade time for money without giving up more than you can afford.
• Use the "Four Key Questions" to continually evaluate your performance.
• Achieve financial independence so that you never waste time on money worries.
• Evaluate your progress using happiness as the inner barometer.
• Allow ethical and spiritual development to fuel your development in all other areas.
