“Get Rich Your Way” by Brian Tracy is a solid text on how to be successful in your financial affairs. With the advice Tracy provides in this book, the reader can create a roadmap to financial success. With a little hard work and sweat, the reader can achieve success from that roadmap.
Over the years, I have enjoyed many of Tracy’s books and audio programs. I also liked watching him speak on DVD once or twice. I found this book especially enlightening on what it takes to make a fortune, or as the title says, get rich.
Don’t confuse this book with a get-rich-quick scheme. In fact, Tracy says it may take patience and certainly an effort. But if you have the right attitude and are willing to do whatever it takes, Tracy’s advice and guidance in this book will help you on your way to riches beyond what you currently have.
The book begins with a highly motivating introduction where Tracy covers topics such as the difference between success and failure, starting with nothing, how you can do it, the differences between rich and poor, and the encouragement that you can learn what you need to learn.
