The One Success Mechanism Proven by Brian Tracy


“Just by reading this book, your life will already begin to change!” --- Kelly Choi, Well Thinking
"It gives me the courage to act now." --- Producer Joo Eon-gyu

You shout 'God-born' again today, but you can't last three days.
I watch motivational videos every night and feel inspired, but in the morning I fall apart.
I've read countless self-help books, but my life is at a standstill.
Why? Brian Tracy, who has dissected world-renowned figures like Warren Buffett and Andy Grove for 40 years, finally reveals the truth.
Successful people never rely on motivation.
They had one thing in common.
It's the "accumulation of very small actions." A single action that's just 1% better than yesterday transforms lethargy into pleasure, awakens your dormant growth instinct, and ultimately leads you to success.
Your origins and circumstances don't matter.
Only action will get you where you want to be.
This book is packed with success strategies the author has researched and proven throughout his life, from visualizing goals to magically harnessing time.
In particular, the "Execution Project" at the end of each chapter will be the trigger that will explode your potential.

Into the book
Why do some people persevere through difficult times and succeed, while others become frustrated and become complacent? The difference lies in motivation.
Motivation is like the fuel that keeps us moving towards the success we dream of.
What if the motivation needed to achieve your goals came naturally and was fully integrated into your daily life? What if taking action toward a better life became a habit, without the need to seek out motivational lectures or inspirational quotes?
--- p.9, from “Introduction”

Through a series of experiences and research results, I have come to this conclusion:
Success has nothing to do with education, skills, family background, or even luck.
Success is entirely determined by individual actions.
And every individual has the ability to do something special.
You just have to learn how to do it.
From now on, I will lead you to that 'method'.
--- p.22, from “What Makes You Restless”

False motivation whispers that you can do anything.
It is deceptive by emphasizing only the thrilling feeling while leaving out the process and method.
Even among the most successful people, there are those who teach in such a vain and sweet way.
Fake motivation makes you feel like you've had a blast at the movies or at a concert, but after a few days, you're back in the same boring routine.
The moment you hear and see them, more than 80 percent of the excitement and thrill you felt disappears.
--- p.47, from “You don’t have to change your entire life at once”

Earl Nightingale, a leading figure in the study of success who has inspired many people, described happiness as the gradual realization of worthy ideals or goals.
When you see your goals become a reality, even if only in a small way, your motivation continues to be reproduced.
That's why we can persevere until the end.
--- p.61, from “You don’t have to change your entire life at once”

William James, the founder of modern psychology and a professor at Harvard University, said, “If you want to have something, act as if you already have it.”
Because actions create emotions.
In other words, action becomes a way to break free from self-limiting beliefs.
So, when you find it difficult to break free from the limitations that are squeezing you, try taking action first.
--- p.65, from “You don’t have to change your entire life at once”

If you look closely at your goals, you will find that most of them cannot be called goals.
They only have a wish.
Wishes, unlike goals, have no energy.
It's like a bullet without gunpowder.
Continuing to make a wish is no different from holding a gun and only shooting blank bullets at a target.
The reason why having a wish is dangerous is because it makes you think you already have a goal, so you don't feel the need to set one.
--- p.100, from “You must decide on a destination before you can set off”

Even people who grew up in disadvantaged environments and have a pessimistic view of the future can reprogram their brains by repeating the idea that they can do it.
Positive thoughts will firmly support your subconscious mind like pillars that support a large, heavy pier, and will even drive out negative thoughts that arise without you even knowing it.
--- p.148, from “Become Your Own First Sponsor”

In the 1950s, Edward Banfield, a sociologist and political scientist at Harvard University, studied why some people earned more money over time.
He conducted extensive research both domestically and internationally to obtain concrete results, and discovered that there was only one indicator that enabled rapid upward mobility across all socioeconomic levels.
It was none other than a ‘long-term perspective’.
--- p.171, from “You have to look far to go far”

When I consult with business executives, I emphasize the law of time and cost.
The irony is that everything you plan costs twice as much and takes three times as long as you expect.
This rule is especially true for those just starting out in business and want to reach break-even quickly.
--- p.196, from “Not failing is the greatest failure”

The more tasks you automate so you can do them immediately without hesitation, the more free you'll be, both physically and mentally.
When the big and small things in life roll by automatically, you can focus on new things and achieve more goals.
--- p.245, from “The Power of Routines to Automate Success”

Publisher's Review
Why is my life stagnant even though I watch motivational videos every day?

According to a recent survey by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training, nine out of ten workers spend an average of 150,000 won per month on motivational content, but only 8.7% of these spend actually lead to action.
91.3% of Korean workers are spending a lot of money on motivation without action.
For example, you went to bed tonight watching a motivational short video that said anyone can be successful.
I'm even excited with the expectation that tomorrow will be a different day than before.
But the moment I wake up the next morning, the excitement of yesterday is nowhere to be found, and I am filled with only disillusionment with the daily routine that repeats like a hamster wheel and a heavy fatigue that feels like my whole body is being pulled to the ground.
And then you start muttering in ignorance.
“Ha… How long do I have to live like this?”

The author of this book, Brian Tracy, one of the most influential self-development experts alive and a self-made millionaire, calls this type of motivation "fake motivation."
It's similar to the good feeling you get when you come back from a concert and have a great time.
You'll find yourself constantly searching for motivational quotes or lectures because they disappear after a few days, making it difficult to bring about real change in your life.
So what was the "true motivation" he discovered through personal experience, from working as a weeder making 25 cents an hour to becoming an 800 million won speaker? Surprisingly, it's quite simple.
It is 'action'.
When small actions toward a better life become habits, you will gain momentum in your life that is constantly growing.


HOW Small Actions Can Turn Your Life Around
: Practical motivation starting with the 5-3-1 rule


Working one hour a day to achieve a thousand dollars a month, making automated income with no capital, becoming a digital nomad who travels anywhere and works anywhere... In an era where we're overwhelmed by content that makes us feel "realistic," the value this book speaks to is clear.
If you just desperately want success and don't take action, your life will never change.
Sometimes, when success is overhyped, only easy secrets are emphasized, but behind every success, there are always small, clear practices.
This book analyzes the power of true motivation that leads to success, and emphasizes the importance of traditional values ​​such as practice and effort, proving it through real-life examples such as Warren Buffett and Andy Grove.


We declare that the only way to succeed is to embody the domino effect of one action a day, feel the subtle growth in your body after just three days, and turn your life around with a five-minute habit.
In other words, there is no such thing as a hidden secret to success.
Anyone can create a better life than yesterday simply by practicing what they know every day.


■ 5-Minute Practice: Mini Projects Starting from 5 Minutes a Day
■ 3-Day Routine: The Foundation of a Habit in 72 Hours

■ Focus on one goal at a time: Set only one goal at a time.

The success mechanism presented in this book can be summarized into 10 processes.
First, I urge readers to realize the truth that changed the author's life: "Anyone can learn anything if they want to."
Once you've identified your potential, I suggest you stop blaming your origins and background, humbly accept your responsibility, and establish a positive self-concept.
Next, we'll guide you through specific practices to make your dream life a reality, including visualizing and verbalizing your goals, using positive affirmations to encourage yourself, and harnessing the magic of time management.
All of the author's messages come together.
No success has ever been achieved without action.
Take action now.
