090 | Brian Tracy: Courage is the Ability to Launch with No Guarantee of Success.

Published: March 2, 2017, 8 a.m.

I don\u2019t know much about airplanes. Actually it\u2019s probably my lack of knowledge about how a ginormous piece of metal can stay up in the air that sends me into a minor panic at the first sign of turbulence.\xa0 But there\u2019s one thing I do know about planes. It\u2019s that they don\u2019t go from point A to point B in a straight line. In fact, each plane is outfitted with a mechanism that allows for course correction. In other words, when the plane gets off course, this mechanism gets it back on track.\xa0 Why am I telling you this? Well, because this is exactly how successful people operate. They don\u2019t always make the right decisions. They don\u2019t always crush the product launch. In fact, most successful people will admit to making almost as many bad moves as good ones. Yet despite these errors, what make the successful person soar is her ability to course correct. To accept the feedback and shift course while riding out the turbulence and keeping her eyes trained on the destination. Decide. Accept feedback. Correct course. Act courageously. Accept feedback. Correct course. Persist. Accept feedback. Correct course. On today\u2019s episode of The Quote of The Day, author and speaker Brian Tracy talks about the power of decision, courage, and persistence. Plus, he reveals what a 12-year study revealed to be the difference between who succeeds and who doesn\u2019t.\xa0 This clip comes from an excellent audio program called Motivational Legends: Training, Development & Character for Personal Success available on Audible.
