— Brian Tracy: How To Make Any Goal Become Reality
0:00The most powerful tool in the world is
0:03you, a pen and a piece of paper.
0:05This is the greatest
0:06wealth creator in the world.
0:07So the fact is that once you are clear on
0:09a goal and you write
0:10it down, not type it,
0:12but write it down, is you force this
0:16energy field of
0:18attraction and it starts to pull
0:21into your life everything that you need
0:23to make the goal clear.
0:24But if it's not in
0:25writing, not a darn thing happens.
0:27This skill will completely transform who
0:29you are over the next 90 days.
0:31And no, I'm not talking about another
0:33manifestation gimmick
0:34or a guided meditation.
0:36I'm talking about the simple, deliberate
0:38act of putting pen to paper.
— The Power of Writing Down Your Goals
0:40Writing isn't just for scribbling notes
0:43and making a grocery list.
0:44It's one of the two most powerful
0:46mechanisms that you have at
0:47your disposal for directing
0:49your life and logging into the identity
0:51required to hit your goals.
0:53Yeah, I'm serious.
0:54One of the first skills that you ever
0:56learn how to do is the
0:57key to changing your life.
0:59As our lives drift further and further
1:01into these digital
1:02screens, we're slowly losing
1:03touch with the basic skills that are the
1:05foundation for changing our lives.
1:07Think about how much of your thinking is
1:08outsourced to these screens.
1:10The tech that we have at our fingertips
1:1124-7 has made
1:13information a little bit too easy
1:14to reach for while giving you very little
1:17reason to really
1:18absorb it when you do learn.
1:20Over the next several years, Mark My
1:21Words, that's going to
1:23chip away at every single
1:24person's ability to decide what actually
1:26deserves their
1:26attention and what doesn't.
1:28This becomes a problem when you have
1:29goals that need an
1:31identity upgrade to be realized.
— Write Your Vision
1:33Because a goal only becomes real once you
1:35articulate it, and
1:36there's no better place
1:37to start than putting pen to paper.
1:39Writing your goals down and handwriting
1:41them demands more
1:42physical work that a passive
1:44thought doesn't really require.
1:45And if there's anything that can
1:47interfere with success in
1:48life, it's the pitfall of
1:50wanting something for nothing.
1:52Now everything does begin with thought.
1:54Thought does create.
1:55But a thought can float through your mind
1:56and disappear because
1:58it costs you nothing.
1:59But writing nudges
2:00your brain to get active.
2:01You have to translate a thought into
2:03words and physically
2:04form every single letter on
2:05that page until it's complete.
2:06The process is called psychoneuromotor
2:09activity, the exact
2:10moment where thought, language,
2:12vision and action fall into perfect
2:14alignment with each other.
2:16If you want a simple way to picture this
2:18in your mind, your brain
2:19operates like a supercomputer
2:21and putting pen to paper is the
2:22equivalent of writing new
2:24code straight into the hard
2:26drive of the subconscious mind.
2:27We engineer computers to
2:29think exactly like we do.
2:30And now computers give us a simple way to
2:32explain how our own
2:33human minds operate without
2:35the need for a PhD.
2:36Writing by hand makes the connection
2:38easier to see in real
2:39time because a lot happens
2:40between your brain, your hand, this pen
2:43and that piece of paper.
2:45Several areas of your brain activate at
2:47the same exact time
2:48that simply don't do so
2:49when you're typing on
2:50a screen or a keyboard.
2:52Apply this to your goals.
2:54Apply this to a goal you intend to
2:56experience in your actual life.
2:58And you'll quickly experience how writing
2:59it by hand forces
3:00your brain to physically
3:01participate in creating the words that
3:04define your goal, which
3:05gives the goal a deeper way
3:07of embedding into your subconscious mind.
3:09A goal that only lives inside your head
3:11comes and goes throughout
3:12the days and weeks ahead
3:14without requiring your full attention.
3:16Putting that same goal on paper forces
3:18you to slow down a little
3:19bit and actually articulate
3:21what you want and what you want to be,
3:24working with so many
3:24people over the years.
3:26This is the bottleneck that I see the
3:27most, many of my first
3:29time clients, experienced
3:30a bit of brain freeze or even discomfort
3:33with putting a goal on
3:34paper as opposed to just
3:35telling people when asked.
3:37I do see this all the time.
3:38People build these huge visions for a
3:40brand new lifestyle, a
3:42grandiose lifestyle, but
3:44they never actually set a number on the
3:46net worth it takes to sustain it.
3:48I've worked with some incredibly smart
3:49people over the years,
3:50going for a new role at a
3:52new company, but they haven't thought
3:53past the current
3:54position once they secure it.
3:56They haven't really decided where they
3:57actually want to end up 5
3:59years, 10 years down the
4:01road, which ultimately
4:02leads to the same stagnation.
4:05Writing by hand slows the long term
4:07decision making process
4:08down because your hand cannot
4:10keep up with the speed of your thoughts.
4:12If you listen to someone speaking while
4:14you're taking notes,
4:15while you're jotting them
4:16down, you decide what matters enough to
4:18make it to that sheet of paper.
4:19That's what's playing out when you set a
4:21clearly defined goal.
4:22You have hundreds of thoughts, thousands
4:23of thoughts every single
4:24day about what you want
4:26your life to look like, but you can only
4:27write so much at once
4:29before it gets a little bit
— How to Become Disciplined Through Writing
4:30too convoluted and exactly like you are
4:32when you're taking notes.
4:33Perfecting your writing skills is going
4:35to force your mind to
4:37focus specifically on what
4:38matters most about your goals, which is
4:40the what and the why.
4:42And when your why is big enough, the how
4:44becomes much easier.
4:45We have so many different forms of
4:47entertainment that
4:47gradually erode the brain's ability
4:49to maintain attention.
4:50The information age that we're in is a
4:52two way street because we
4:54never had so much access
4:56to so much knowledge, but
4:57yet so many distractions.
4:59It's enough to break your ability to
5:01think clearly because
5:02almost every single thing
5:04around you competes to interrupt the
5:06thought before you have
5:07enough time to fully articulate
5:09it in order to start bringing it to life.
5:12You can move from a text message to a
5:13reel, from that reel
5:14back to your DMs, then open
5:17another tab and search for
5:18something that you want to buy.
5:19In seconds, all of this happens in
5:21seconds and before you
5:22know it, days and weeks have
5:23gone by and you've never actually thought
5:26about wielding the
5:26power of the pen to making
5:28your life better than it was yesterday.
5:30But before we continue, just a quick
5:32reminder, the Money
5:33Mastery Workshop Volume 2 takes
5:35place in just a little under a week on
5:36October 4th at 11am Eastern.
5:39We will be diving deep into removing the
5:42limiting beliefs that
5:43hold back money, that
5:44hold back self worth, and entrepreneurial
5:46or professional success.
5:48Mark your calendars and make sure you get
5:50your tickets in the
5:50description down below.
5:51So we're back to attention.
— Writing Accelerated Human Civilization
5:53The ability to define and stay with a
5:54thought long enough to
5:55manifest it into physical form
5:58is an irreplaceable skill nowadays and
6:00history gives us data to back it all up.
6:03I've always wondered how we made the
6:05largest leaps in
6:06civilization in the last 200 years
6:08than the previous 2000 years.
6:11I mean, look at this.
6:12We went from this to this.
6:15Just in the span of 200 years.
6:17I attribute this down to one single
6:19cause, the ability to read and write.
6:22We're in the digital era
6:23now, the information age.
6:25But just before the Industrial Revolution
6:27around the early 18th
6:29century, only 12% of
6:30the world's population
6:31could read and write.
6:33Just after World War II, only about 45%
6:35of the world was
6:36literate around 1950 or so.
6:39That number has reached to about 87%
6:42today, which doesn't
6:43look like a coincidence to
6:44me.
6:45As people gained the ability to read and
6:47write, minds began to
6:48expand and lives began to change
6:50faster than they ever had before.
6:52Writing allows knowledge to survive
6:54beyond the moment you
6:55first think about it.
6:56I attributed my own identity shifting
6:58through the skill of
6:59writing, my favorite thing to
7:01do because that is the core of
7:02reprogramming yourself for success.
7:04After I clearly defined what I wanted to
7:06be and how I wanted to
7:08feel about having it,
7:09I could always go back and reverse
7:10engineer what went right
7:12and what needed a little bit
7:13of tweaking if I wasn't
7:15satisfied with the outcome.
7:16Something that's not so reliable when
7:18it's just a thought in
7:19your mind competing with
7:21other thousands of
7:21thoughts through the day.
7:23This powerful skill that forces knowledge
7:24and wisdom to compound across generations
7:28is literally at your fingertips.
— Your Goals & The Reticular Activating System
7:30Your brain processes a massive amount of
7:32information every
7:33single day, relying on your
7:35RAS, your Reticular Activating System, to
7:37separate what matters
7:39from what can be ignored.
7:40It's an internal filter, and everybody's
7:42filter is different.
7:43Directing your attention towards whatever
7:44you find important and it goes out of its
7:47way to ignore what
7:48isn't aligned with that.
7:49Handwriting a goal is a direct way to
7:51program that filter
7:52like you program a MacBook.
7:54The motion of writing, combined with
7:56seeing the words form on
7:57paper, forces your brain
7:58to pay clearer attention.
8:00That sends the right signals to your RAS,
8:02telling it exactly
8:02what to focus on, giving
8:04it a clear target to scan for in your
8:06daily life every single
8:08day to guide you successfully
8:09to the results that you're looking to
8:11achieve through your goals.
8:13A finely tuned RAS can guide you into the
8:15perfect investment
8:16opportunities, the perfect
8:17ideas that will revolutionize a business,
8:19and even the perfect
8:20relationships to make
8:21that all happen.
8:23A vague desire though, or an undefined
8:25goal, gives your
8:26subconscious very little real estate
8:28to work with on the flip side.
8:30You may want more money, a better career,
8:33a successful business, a relationship, or
8:36better health, but your brain still needs
8:38a defined destination
8:39and writing forces you
8:41to define it clearly so
8:42the subconscious can oblige.
8:44But since we're glued to these screens in
8:46the 21st century,
8:47typing has taken the place
8:48of writing for the most people.
8:50When you just type something out, it's
8:53way too easy to treat
8:53valuable information like
8:55every other random piece
8:56of text on your screen.
8:58The moment you put a specific goal onto
9:00paper, your brain has a problem to solve.
9:02If you put down on paper that you're
9:04worth 7 figures in
9:06several years, and you're
9:07currently not, the subconscious goes to
9:09work to close that gap.
9:11Instead of allowing the desire to pass
9:13through the working mind
9:14and disappear during the
9:15day with everything else, you're going to
9:17be giving your
9:17subconscious a defined target
9:19to process instead.
9:20Self mastery can only be done through
9:22changing your identity, and
9:24identity leads to behavior.
9:26So every goal has an identity connected
9:27to it, and your role
9:29in the creation process
9:30is to assume the identity first.
9:33When you write down a goal for your
9:34business, for your money,
9:35for your relationships, you
9:37define the person capable
9:38of producing that result.
9:40Now, let's not get too far ahead of
9:42ourselves and forget that
9:43the feeling is the secret.
9:45At the end of the day, goals are just a
9:47vehicle for us to
9:47experience an emotion and a feeling
9:49that comes along with it.
9:51More money feels like more freedom.
9:53Success feels like pride and triumph.
9:55Loyal and loving
9:56relationships feel like harmony and peace.
9:59The goal needs an emotional frequency
10:01connected to it because a
10:02goal should fill you with
10:04that same positive
10:05emotion when you visualize it.
10:07Perfect this skill for the next 90 days.
10:08And you'll be training yourself for
10:10something bigger than
10:10your ability to jot down your
10:12goals.
10:13Learning your ability to direct your
10:15attention in order to
10:16manifest your positive thoughts
10:18into physical form of achieving whatever
10:20goal you have on that paper.
10:22Experience this for yourself.
10:23Don't take my word for it.
— Why the Wealthy Write Their Goals
10:25Test it for yourself.
10:26Because as always, everything I taught
10:29you today can be put
10:30into practice with a simple
10:31exercise that I call magic moments.
10:33I learned this technique from my good
10:35friend Peter Sage when he
10:37invited me to his millionaire
10:38business school back in 2024.
10:40See I was in a room on the other side of
10:42the planet with a room
10:43full of millionaires.
10:45And what I observed amongst all of them,
10:46the wealthiest people
10:47that were leading that room,
10:49the wealthiest people in my life, is
10:51their ability to clearly
10:52define what they want and
10:53to write it down.
10:54Yes, many steps are going to happen after
10:57that, after you write
10:58it down, but the steps
10:59become a lot clearer to make when you
11:01know exactly where you're going.
11:02This exercise though is going to train
— How to Train Your Mind for Success
11:04your awareness for
11:05abundance and to get you into
11:07the habit of writing
11:08more on a daily basis.
11:10Take out a piece of paper and write down
11:1210 positive things
11:13that happened to you this
11:14week.
11:15Just this week alone.
11:16They can be anything, big or small.
11:18They can be special experiences that
11:20you'll remember for years to come.
11:22Or something simple like a good
11:23conversation, eating your
11:25favorite meal, finishing one of
11:27those do-it-yourself projects, something
11:29that you're proud of,
11:30hearing some good news,
11:32or simply getting a
11:33well-timed compliment.
11:34Writing 10 different experiences is the
11:36critical part of this
11:36exercise because it's activating
11:38your memory and awareness for all the
11:40positive things in your life
11:42that you may miss or forget
11:44to talk about after they happen.
11:45Your brain, your body, your hand is going
11:48to mentally trace
11:49back all of this through
11:49the week and you're going to retrieve
11:51these experiences and
11:52you're going to decide which
11:53ones belong on the page and then you
11:55execute the physical
11:57act of writing them down.
11:58Think about reading as retrieving a
12:00memory while writing
12:01reinforces that same memory.
12:03This exercise brings
12:04those two processes together.
12:06Now you're training your brain to find
12:08and then attract more of
12:09those positive experiences.
12:11Targeting 10 things will force your mind
12:14to look way beyond the
12:15handful of negative moments
12:16that tend to dominate the average
12:18person's attention
12:19span throughout the week.
12:21It's a little bit too easy to have 20
12:23great things happen
12:24through the week, then waste
12:25most of your energy, most of your time
12:27complaining and replaying
12:29the two or three moments that
12:31got you frustrated or
12:32disappointed you a little bit.
12:34Whatever receives the most focus in your
12:35life takes up the most
12:37mental real estate regardless
12:39of how much time it
12:40actually took up during your week.
12:42Writing down the magic moments shifts
12:44your focus towards the
12:45great things, the greater
12:47things already present in your daily
12:49life, then your brain
12:50activates that filtration
12:52system except this time it's constantly
12:54sifting through all the
12:56massive amounts of data based
12:58on your positive experiences.
13:00Think again of your
13:00attention like a radio.
13:02Dozens of frequencies are passing around
13:04the room right now as
13:05we're speaking but you
13:06only hear the music or in this case my
13:09voice and my image when
13:11you tune directly into the
13:12exact station.
13:13The stations when you're walking around
13:15every day out there in the world.
13:16The stations that you're
13:17tuned into are your feelings.
13:19The feelings that your goal will evoke
13:21within you once you achieve them.
13:23Abundance FM, Freedom FM, Harmony FM.
13:27The more often your frequency shifts
13:28towards abundance and
13:29joy and wealth and courage,
13:31the more natural that frequency becomes
13:33to stay in every single day.
13:34Your mind is going to begin to catch all
13:36of the great moments as
13:37they happen in real time
13:39and recognize opportunities that can be
13:41immediately acted on instead
13:43of always being in the wrong
13:44place at the wrong time.
13:46Trust me, your daily life contains far
13:48more good than your
13:50worker memory gives it credit
13:51for and writing these magic moments down
13:53on paper the next
13:55several days or so, the next
13:56several weeks coming ahead creates the
13:58physical habit that pulls
14:00the proof out of thin air,
14:02that pulls the proof out of your mind and
14:05places it front and center.
14:06So for the next 90 days, keep a pen and
14:09paper nearby, sharpen
14:10the sword of your mind with
14:12the magic moments exercise and then take
14:14that moment into
14:15defining what more you want out
14:17of life.
14:17That makes the old saying true.
14:19The pen really is
14:20mightier than the sword.
14:22A sword can force compliance in the
14:23moment, but a pen can
14:25change an entire future.
14:27Force can only attempt to affect the
14:29outside world, but
14:30putting words on paper changes
14:32how a mind operates on the inside.
