 A terrific book! November 10, 2008
This is definitely one of Brian Tracy's greatest works. Pick up a copy and DON'T lend it out--recommend it, but don't lend it.
You should read this along with "Maximum Achievement" and if you're in sales, also read "Advanced Selling Strategies".
Practical Advice on Success! September 4, 2008
"Create Your Own Future: How to Master the 12 Critical Factors of Unlimited Success" by Brian Tracy is one of his numerous titles full of practical advice on succeeding in not only your career, but life.
I enjoy Tracy's works due to the solid practical advice he imparts through his products. However, sometimes his books can be a bit dry compared to some of the other books on the same topics. Nonetheless, if you implement the lessons Tracey teaches you will increase your success.
Another criticism would be that sometimes the material in Tracey's books overlap, and if you have read a lot of his books, you find some of the same things just presented a little bit differently. While you can criticize this, you can also look at it as a way to reinforce the information to ensure you learn and implement the strategies to succeed.
With that said, I did enjoy Create Your Own Future and found it to contain some valuable lessons. These lessons include:
1. Your Potential is Unlimited. Tracey advises you on how to take control of your mind and learn to unlock the powers to attract whatever you want for your life.
2. Clarity Is Critical. This chapter teaches the reader how to be clear about the things the reader wants to achieve and to determine what kind of person they want to become.
3. Knowledge Is Power. You must learn, and Tracey shows you how to become an expert in your field. It takes work, but it will be worth it. I could not agree with Tracey more, you must read and take courses to stay ahead of your competitors.
4. Mastery Is Magical. This chapter focuses on resolving to be excellent at what you do. Tracey offers advice on how to develop your skills and resolve to be in the top 10 of your field.
5. Attitude Is Everything. This is obvious, but still so many people are not positive. Take Tracy's advice and think and talk positively and don't think or talk about negative things or things you don't want.
6. Relationships Are Essential. Learn how to expand your network and improve relationships in all parts of your life.
7. Money Matters. Tracey teaches the basic but time tested formula of how to save and strategies to build wealth.
8. You Are a Genius. You don't need Tracy to tell you this, but his advice on unlocking your creativity will help you achieve more.
9. Results Determine Rewards. Take Tracy's advice and concentrate single mindedly on getting the most important results possible in everything you do and you will undoubtedly create more success in your life as you create the future of your dreams.
10. Seize The Day. You don't need Tracy to tell you this if you are reading a book on success. But he still offers great advice on being action oriented. This chapter will help you make things happen every day.
11. Character Counts. Why succeed and create a future if you are not a good person? I agree with Tracy that character counts and that the better a person you are on the inside, the more success you will obtain.
12. Fortune Favors the Brave. You must have courage and persistence to succeed. Tracy helps you resolve in advance that you will never give up.
These twelve factors, combined will assist you in becoming a positive, future focused, energetic, likable, talented, skilled, intelligent, and optimistic person who will undoubtedly succeed.
I do believe that each of us has the power to create our own futures. Brian Tracy offers a lot of practical advice on how to do just that. Add this book to your success library and more importantly, incorporate the 12 principles into your daily life and your future will be one that you create.

Life Changing! March 4, 2008
I bought this book heading to the airport going back to China where I worked to pack my stuff up an move back to the States just after getting laid off. By the time I hit Seoul I was so positive about my life and what was ahead of me it was incredible. I sat in the Seoul airport and continued to read the book and do the exercises. This book has changed my life. I have been able to have a positive outlook on my future and move on beyond all that happened. I'd hate to think of how I would have faced the situation without this book falling into my life. I am now back in the States ready to take the on the world and starting my new job on March 10th.

Better than Maximum Achievment January 19, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
My personal Brian Tracy book rank would be as Follows:
1. Create Your Own Future
2. Maximum Achievement
3. Eat that Frog
4. Million Dollar Habits
5. Change your Thinking.....
6. Goals
7. Time Power
8. Focal Point
These are my "personal" rankings. Maximum Achievement, I thought, was Tracy's watershed book, but along comes Create Your Own Future.
There is just something about how the book is laid out and delivers chuncks of useful advice without losing your interest. It probably is the best self help book out right now. If you are new to self achievement products....This should be the first book to read and Tracy covers anything you need from sales to business building to motivation.
